Survey reveals 92% of organizations will increase 2024 data protection spend, to achieve cyber resilience amidst continued threats of ransomware and cyber-attacks

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Jan. 17, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Veeam Software, the #1 leader by market share in Data Protection and Ransomware Recovery, today released insights from the company’s fifth annual Veeam Data Protection Trends Report. While companies say they will spend more trying to fend off cyber-attacks, the survey found IT leaders are feeling even less protected and more concerned about their ability to recover and restore mission-critical data. Respondents shared that cyber-attacks remain the top cause of outages and that while organizations are putting more emphasis on utilizing the cloud for major recoveries, only a small percentage believe they’d be able to recover from even a small crisis in under a week.

Highlights of the Veeam Data Protection Trends Report 2024:
“Ransomware continues to be the biggest threat to business continuity,” said Dave Russell, VP of Enterprise Strategy at Veeam. “It’s the number one cause of outages today, and protecting against it is hampering digital transformation efforts. Furthermore, although companies are increasing their spend on protection, less than a third of companies believe they can recover quickly from a small attack. The findings in this year’s Veeam Data Protection Trends Report highlight the need for continued cyber vigilance, and the importance of every organization to ensure they have the right protection and recovery capabilities. It’s why Veeam’s mission in 2024 is to keep businesses running.”

Highlights of the Veeam Data Protection Trends Report 2024:

• Cyber-Attacks are the #1 Cause of Outages: For the fourth straight year, cyber-attacks were listed as the most common and most impactful causes of business outages across organizations. The fact that other types of outages followed closely behind – infrastructure/networking, storage hardware, application software, public cloud resources, and server hardware – illustrated the growing need for modernized backup strategies.
• Ransomware Continues to be a ‘When’ Not an ‘If’: 76% of organizations were attacked at least once in the past 12 months. While this number is down from 85% in 2023, 26% reported being attacked at least four times this past year. So according to the report, more organizations were hit quarterly than those who believe they were not attacked at all. Recovery is still a major concern, as only 13% said they can successfully orchestrate recovery during a DR situation.
• Digital Transformation is Being Hampered by Cyber-Attacks: The survey ranked protecting against cyber threats and addressing environmental, social, and governmental goals as the biggest inhibitors to IT modernization and digital transformation initiatives. These factors scored higher than usual struggles related to skills, economic concerns and organizational issues, due to the amount of effort and resources that were being diverted from digital transformation or IT modernization investments.
• Only 32% of organizations believe they can recover from a small attack, crisis or outage within a week: While most organizations consider cyber resiliency a foundational aspect of their broader business continuity or disaster recovery (BC/DR) strategy, BC/DR preparedness is not yet “passing” most SLA expectations. When asked how long IT would need to recover 50 servers, only 32% believed their IT staffs could recover the servers within five business days. Other supporting statistics reflect the growing gap between what data protection business units expect and what IT services can deliver is increasing. When asked about their latest large scale cyber/disaster test, less than 3 out of 5 (58%) servers were recoverable within expectations.
• Data Protection Budget Increases are Accelerating: Data protection budgets are expected to grow by 6.6% in 2024. This is the second straight year the survey revealed that data protection spending growth will outpace IT spending growth.ⁱ Overall, 92% of organizations expect to spend more on data protection in 2024 to continue to prepare against cyber-attacks as well as the changing production landscape that requires different approaches to data protection.
• Data Protection and IT Security are becoming more integrated: For the second straight year, survey respondents consider the most common and most important aspect of a modern data protection solution is one that integrates with cyber security tools. Two out of five (41%) consider some aspect of mobility in cloud scenarios as most important characteristic of a modern solution, including the ability to move a workload from one cloud to another and the standardization of protection between on-premises workloads and IaaS/SaaS.

“Ransomware continues to be the biggest threat to business continuity,” said Dave Russell, VP of Enterprise Strategy at Veeam. “It’s the number one cause of outages today, and protecting against it is hampering digital transformation efforts. Furthermore, although companies are increasing their spend on protection, less than a third of companies believe they can recover quickly from a small attack. The findings in this year’s Veeam Data Protection Trends Report highlight the need for continued cyber vigilance, and the importance of every organization to ensure they have the right protection and recovery capabilities. It’s why Veeam’s mission in 2024 is to keep businesses running.”

Other notable insights from the report include:

• Most Organizations Are Using Containers But Not Backing Them All Up: Container usage continues to rise, with 59% of enterprises running them in production, and another 37% either rolling them out or planning to. Unfortunately, only 25% of organizations use a backup solution that is purpose-built for containers, while the rest of organizations back up only some of the underlying components – e.g., storage repositories or the database contents. Neither tactic ensures that the applications and services will be resumable after a crisis, or even a simple import/configuration error that needs to be undone.
• 2024 Will See Significant Job Changes Outside the Organization: The fact that 47% of respondents expressed an intent to seek a new job outside of their current organization within the next twelve months represents both a challenge and an opportunity for data protection initiatives. While losing valuable data protection talent puts organizations at a significant disadvantage when crises inevitably strike, the market shift presents an opportunity to add knowledge to protect modern production workloads that reside in clouds, such as Microsoft 365, Kubernetes containers, or other IaaS/PaaS deployments.
• Hybrid Production Architectures are Forcing Reconsideration of ‘Backup’: For the second straight year, the two most important considerations for “enterprise backup” solutions are reliability and the protection of cloud-hosted workloads (IaaS and SaaS). This is problematic for organizations relying on older datacenter-centric data protection solutions. As organizations move workloads from one platform or cloud to another, IT teams relying on legacy backup solutions that do not offer equitable protection of cloud-hosted workloads will struggle to maintain SLAs, particularly those that embrace cloud-native offerings like Microsoft 365/Salesforce (SaaS) or containers.

Hyperscale data centers lead adoption of the new Mozaic 3+ platform that delivers unprecedented areal density of 3TB+ per platter

FREMONT, CA - Jan. 17, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Seagate^® Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ: STX), a world leader in sustainable mass-data storage solutions, today announced a milestone that marks a new era in the storage industry.

The company launched the Mozaic 3+™ hard drive platform—which incorporates Seagate’s trailblazing implementation of Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) technology. The launch heralds unparalleled areal densities of 3TB+ per platter—and a roadmap that will achieve 4TB+ and 5TB+ per platter in the coming years.

The Mozaic 3+ platform powers Seagate’s flagship Exos^® product family, with newly announced, industry-leading capacity points of 30TB and beyond. Exos 30TB+ products are shipping in volume this quarter to hyperscale cloud customers.

Seagate’s areal density innovation—which increases the number of bits that can be stored on a platter—addresses common industry pain points. Mozaic 3+ enables customers to store more data in the same floor space than ever before. Upgrading from a 16TB conventional perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) drive (the average capacity in large-scale data centers) to an Exos 30TB Mozaic 3+ technology drive effectively doubles capacity in the same footprint.

The platform uses roughly the same material components as PMR hard drives while dramatically increasing capacity, allowing data centers to significantly lower storage acquisition and operational costs—including a 40% improvement in per terabyte power consumption. Mozaic 3+ can also help customers achieve sustainability goals—a top priority for large-scale data centers—by offering a 55% reduction in embodied carbon per terabyte (when comparing a 30TB Mozaic 3+ drive with a traditional 16TB PMR drive).

Seagate is experiencing strong demand from data center customers that are expected to complete qualification of Mozaic 3+ and move into volume ramp by end of this quarter. A leading cloud service provider is focused on ramping of Seagate-provided drives to Mozaic 3+, reflecting their confidence in the technology.

“Seagate is the world’s only hard drive manufacturer with the areal density capability to get to 3TB per platter and with 5TB on the horizon,” said Dave Mosley, Seagate’s CEO. “As AI use cases put a premium on raw data sets, more companies are going to need to store all the data they can. To accommodate the resulting masses of data, areal density matters more than ever.”

“The Mozaic 3+ platform represents more than just HAMR technology,” Mosley noted. “It comprises several industry-first innovations that we’ve integrated to help us scale areal density.”

Here are a few highlights:

1. Superlattice Platinum-Alloy Media. Fundamental physics of higher-density recording requires smaller media grain size at nanoscale. The challenge here is that smaller grains are more unstable. Legacy alloys do not provide sufficient magnetic stability for effective and reliable storage. In Mozaic 3+ hard drives, the media alloy uses a pioneering iron-platinum superlattice structure, which significantly increases the magnetic coercivity of disk media. This allows for precise data writing and unprecedented bit stability.
2. Plasmonic Writer. Since the media are made magnetically “harder” to prevent instability, the design requires a revolutionary writer—a marvel of miniaturization and precision engineering that is Seagate’s unique implementation of HAMR. Anchoring this technology is a nanophotonic laser, which produces an infinitesimal heat spot on the media surface to reliably write the dataSeagate plans to vertically integrate the nanophotonic laser into the plasmonic writer sub-system. “Developing this unique laser technology in-house for Mozaic 3+ will ensure even greater efficiency and yield to support rapid scaling of volume production,” Mosley said.
3. Gen 7 Spintronic Reader. Smaller grains of written data are only useful if they can be read. Integrated along with the sub-components of the plasmonic writer, the reader also needed to evolve. Incorporating quantum technology, Mozaic 3+ includes one of the world’s smallest and most sensitive magnetic field reading sensors.
4. 12nm Integrated Controller. Efficiently orchestrating all this technology called for an integrated controller, a system-on-a-chip, developed entirely in house. This sophisticated application-specific integrated circuit delivers up to 3 times the performance compared to prior solution.

“Hard drive areal density improvements are critical for economically and efficiently expanding the installed base of hard drive-based mass storage, especially in data centers,” said John Rydning, Research Vice President IDC Global DataSphere. “Seagate’s innovative areal density breakthrough is timely and will enable it to deliver increasingly higher capacity hard drive products for many years.”

In addition to data centers, Mozaic 3+ storage technology will enable a wide range of use cases, ranging from enterprise, to edge, NAS, and video and imaging applications (VIA) markets.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - Jan. 17, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Box, Inc. (NYSE:BOX), the leading Content Cloud, today announced that its native e-signature product, Box Sign, has achieved support for compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations for electronic signatures. Available as part of the Box GxP Validation offering in the Box Enterprise Plus plan, the newly released Part 11 e-signature workflow capabilities in Box Sign offer functionality and controls which, if properly configured and used, enable users to create e-signatures compliant with the requirements of Part 11.

“With the ability to support 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, life sciences customers at Box can make strides forward in their digital transformation journey,” said Manu Vohra, Managing Director of Life Sciences at Box. “Box GxP Validation now enable customers globally to support paperless trials, regulatory approvals and inspection readiness programs with full confidence in the electronically signed and approved content.”

Box can already be configured to support 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for electronic records by enabling a combination of data management and security features. The introduction of support for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for electronic signatures with Box Sign enables customers to take a comprehensive approach to the specific needs of the life sciences organizations sector. This covers key R&D processes in clinical, regulatory and safety requiring regulated approvals, as well as helps digitize manufacturing programs with electronic approvals on safety inspections, training records and incident reports.

“Ensuring 21 CFR Part 11 compliance is a critical requirement for the life sciences industry. As the industry strives to drive intelligent automation across the value chain, it is essential to build 21 CFR Part 11 compliant signature-based workflows to integrate compliance within the process,” says Dr. Nimita Limaye, Research VP, Life Science R&D Strategy and Technology, IDC.

Support for Part 11 e-signatures in Box Sign allows organizations to configure compliant signature-based workflows natively within the Box Content Cloud without the need for expensive standalone modules and signer authentication add-ons from e-signature vendors. Admins can empower their teams to automate the entire e-signature workflow, including enacting signer authentication, requiring a signing reason, and enabling immutable audit logs, by simply selecting which users or user groups require support for Part 11 compliance.

Key benefits of Part 11 support in Box Sign, include:

• Unlimited Part 11 e-signatures: With unlimited e-signatures at no additional cost natively in the Box Content Cloud, customers can leverage Box Sign for all their research, development, and manufacturing processes, without worrying about incremental costs.
• Automated Part 11 Workflow: The 21 CFR Part 11 workflow in Box Sign automates the entire process for both senders and signers, ensuring a seamless and simple e-signature experience, specifically tailored to meet 21 CFR Part 11 compliance requirements without the need to manually configure signer authentication, signing reasons, and more.
• Simplified Compliance: Box Sign Part 11 streamlines compliance by providing a user-friendly interface for senders, signers, and admins. Because content is stored centrally within Box, users can avoid duplicate and outdated versions across multiple systems, making compliance effortless.
• Cost-Efficient Solution: By eliminating the dependence on expensive third-party signer authentication transactions or standalone deployment modules, Box Sign Part 11 offers a cost-efficient solution for organizations seeking compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 regulations.
• Precise Admin Controls: Admins have granular control over 21 CFR Part 11 workflow settings within Box Sign. This enables admins to selectively grant access to specific users or groups, ensuring that the compliance process is tailored to the unique needs and structure of the organization.

“Enabling Part 11 compliance for Box Sign has been our top priority to support our regulated life sciences customers’ FDA-regulated processes,” said Tom Cowles, Chief Compliance Officer at Box. “Box Sign Part 11 gives teams complete control, visibility and assurance for e-signature processes requiring signer authentication, documented consent flows, tamper-evident auditing and more.”

Product updates also include support of S3 Object Storage with Object Locking

Marlborough, Mass., - January 16, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — ExaGrid®, the industry’s only Tiered Backup Storage solution, today announced two major new product updates. ExaGrid will ship three new appliance models: the EX54, EX84, and EX189, which offer the largest single scale-out system storage capacity for any backup storage on the market. In addition, ExaGrid announced that in March of 2024, ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage appliances will be an object store target supporting the S3 protocol with object locking.

One of the key highlights of the updated product line is that all ExaGrid appliances will be available in 2U models, offering rack space efficiency which allows organizations to save on rack storage and cooling costs while accommodating large data backups and future data growth.

The largest ExaGrid system configuration, comprised of 32 by EX189 appliances in a single scale-out system, can take in up to a 6PB full backup with 12PB raw capacity, making it the largest single system in the industry, that includes data deduplication. In addition to the increased storage capacity, the EX189 is four times more rack space efficient than the previous 4U versions of ExaGrid appliances.

ExaGrid’s line of 2U appliances now include the EX189, EX84, EX54, EX36, EX27, EX18, and EX10 models. Each appliance has processor, memory, networking, and storage so that the backup window stays fixed-length as data grows, eliminating expensive and disruptive forklift upgrades. Up to 32 appliances can be mixed and matched in a single scale-out system. Any age or size appliance can be used in a single system eliminating forced product obsolescence.

“ExaGrid continues to innovate its Tiered Backup Storage with a goal of eliminating all of the challenges that organizations face when it comes to backups,” said Bill Andrews, President and CEO of ExaGrid. “In addition to offering the largest backup system in the industry, we are excited to offer all of our appliances in 2U models, providing even better economics and efficiency when it comes to rack space, power, and cooling costs. ExaGrid also offers the only system with a disk-cache Landing Zone that is tiered to a non-network-facing long-term retention repository which creates a tiered air gap for security, and the only approach to deduplication that doesn’t negatively impact backup and restore performance. We invite organizations to test our Tiered Backup Storage system in their own backup environment and measure it against their current backup storage solution. We are also pleased to announce that ExaGrid will be an object store target for Veeam using the S3 protocol and that ExaGrid will support M365 backups direct from Veeam. ExaGrid will work with Veeam to qualify the S3 Object Storage release as Veeam Ready.”

In addition to the 2U appliance models, ExaGrid continues to build out its support of protocols by announcing its support for S3 object storage with object locking, in addition to already supporting NFS, CIFS, Veeam Data Mover, and Veritas NetBackup OST. In the first release for S3, ExaGrid will support Veeam writing to ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage as an object store target, including Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 directly to ExaGrid. ExaGrid will support other backups applications with S3 in future releases.

About ExaGrid
ExaGrid provides Tiered Backup Storage with a unique disk-cache Landing Zone, long-term retention repository, and scale-out architecture. ExaGrid’s Landing Zone provides for the fastest backups, restores, and instant VM recoveries. The Repository Tier offers the lowest cost for long-term retention. ExaGrid’s scale-out architecture includes full appliances and ensures a fixed-length backup window as data grows, eliminating expensive forklift upgrades and product obsolescence. ExaGrid offers the only two-tiered backup storage approach with a non-network-facing tier, delayed deletes, and immutable objects to recover from ransomware attacks.

Despite the confusion FINRA created last year with their new audit trail option, AdvisorVault takes a unique approach to data compliance by partnering with Compliant Workspace helping small FINRA firms meet 17a-4 on Microsoft 365

TORONTO, ON - January 15, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — The recent change FINRA made to 17a-4 allowing firms to use an audit trail to meet the long-term retention demands of the rule doesn’t make sense; firms still need a Designated Third Party (D3P) to archive data offsite, retaining it for 7 years, and to meet FINRA’s new cybersecurity demands. Also, since the D3P is archiving records in 17a-4 WORM format already, an audit trail is a moot point. In reality, the
solution for firms today – especially small ones wanting to meet 17a-4 is getting on Microsoft 365 properly.

“These days, when a firm calls me (often in desperation) needing to meet 17a-4, I immediately ask: Where is the firm’s data stored? Where is email hosted? What’s used for teleconferencing/messaging? How many 17a-4 D3Ps are there? With this information, I can immediately find gaps in their 17a-4 electronic records archive.” Said Allan Lonz, President of AdvisorVault. “I tell firms the best way to close
gaps in their data compliance is getting on Microsoft 365 properly.” Lonz added.

For FINRA firms, getting on Microsoft 365 properly means three things: (1) a clear path fully migrating everything off in-house systems to 365, (2) an add-on application to secure & monitor activity on the cloud, especially registered reps, and finally (3) a plugin to archive and retain data off Microsoft 365 to meet the FINRA 17a-4 electronic records retention demands. That’s why we chose Compliant
Workspace to help get customers 17a-4 compliant on the Microsoft Cloud.

Compliant Workspace: A Clear Path To 17a-4 With Microsoft 365
Compliant Workspace, unlike Microsoft or other generic cloud providers who sell companies the basic subscription only, has a complete package getting FINRA firms on the cloud compliantly with their 365 Migration Service they help rid customers of in-house systems. This means, moving all users’ data off personal PCs to individual OneDrive accounts; migrating in-house data stored on servers to company SharePoint sites; email accounts fully migrated to Exchange Online; private/group chats on Teams configured - ready to be archived centrally for 17a-4.

Also, with Compliant Workspace firms get a “FINRA approved cybersecurity add-on” direct into the Microsoft Cloud, including 24/7 email alerts, detections in security policies changes, sign-in from unusual locations, unknown devices or IPs, suspicious mailbox activities, administrator abuse threat protection. Direct to compliance officers, also with deployment of best practice security options. In addition, always-on audit logs monitoring files, emails and chat activity with MFA enable for admin/all users and set inbound/outbound spam notifications. All the features needed to make Microsoft 365 fully compliant with the new FINRA cybersecurity demands, out-of-the-box.

AdvisorVault’s Cloud Archiving Plugin For FINRA Records Retention
After full migration to Microsoft 365, firms need to take an extra step to be fully 17a-4 compliant. For instance, they’ll need to add a Cloud Archiving Plugin. Since by default Microsoft does not protect customers data on their cloud; its surely not retained as per 17a-4, (In fact, Microsoft will not provide the two third-party attestation letters FINRA will need) therefore, an additional step is needed to get 17a-4 compliant on the Microsoft Cloud.

That’s why AdvisorVault adds a 17a-4 Cloud Archiving Plugin to the cloud specifically meeting the long- term archiving and retention demands of 17a-4 and includes: archive/retention of emails, data stored on OneDrive and SharePoint including Teams chats, in addition, our 17a-4 Cloud Plugin for Microsoft
365 does granular protection with the ability to restore individual emails, files, contacts, calendar items and Teams chats - critical for audits when the firm needs to reproduce electronic records. Finally, our 17a-4 Plugin automatically detects, & archives data on the cloud as users create it, ensuring records are always transferred to a separate system, giving further protection against ransomware attacks.

From New Requirements for High Availability Protection to Sophisticated Storage and Disaster Recovery Strategies – Here Are Some of the Biggest Trends

SAN MATEO, CA – January 10, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — SIOS Technology Corp., an industry leader in application high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR), today announced top technology predictions for 2024.

As 2023 progressed, the persistent challenges from the previous year persisted, with climate-change natural disasters, businesses grappling with ongoing labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, and global economic uncertainty. These hurdles are expected to extend into 2024, thereby heightening the demand for robust IT solutions that prioritize high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR). Cassius Rhue, VP of Customer Experience, SIOS Technology, predicts the following major trends driven by these expectations:

• Application high availability becomes universal. “As reliance on applications continues to rise, IT teams will be pressured to deliver efficient high availability for applications once considered non-essential. Once reserved for mission-critical systems, such as SQL Server, Oracle, SAP, and HANA, application high availability – typically delivered with HA clustering technology - will become a requirement for more systems, applications, and services throughout the enterprise.”
• Cloud and OS agnostic high availability becomes an expected requirement for most applications. “IT teams will look for application HA solutions that reduce complexity and improve cost-efficiency by supporting multiple operating systems, platforms, and environments. For example, companies with some applications running in on-prem data centers and others in cloud environments as well as those running some applications in Windows and others in Linux environments will move to HA solutions that deliver a consistent user interface and expert technical support across all of their environments.”
• The trend toward migration to SAP HANA is likely to continue in 2024. “The SAP-mandated 2027 migration will push more companies to migrate to SAP HANA. As a result, there will be an increased need for more automated and flexible high availability and disaster recovery solutions that help them bridge the gap between existing systems and the new, more modern systems that take advantage of SAP HANA’s capabilities. Organizations will look for HA solutions that help them find ways to take advantage of emerging technologies and accelerate digital transformation, without losing the HA and DR capabilities that continue to arise.”
• Automation becomes more common in high availability and disaster recovery as data and analytics increase complexity. “As the volume and variety of data and the ways through which data are collected increase, organizations will require more hands free recovery orchestration, and more information about why faults/failures occurred and how to address potential issues. Automation and orchestration tools will play a central role, eliminating error-prone manual scripting, streamlining root cause analysis, improving intelligent responses, and enhancing disaster recovery processes to further reduce downtime and enhance data availability.”
• The focus on data security and compliance will intensify.“The focus on data retention, security, and access controls will intensify prompting organizations to integrate enhanced security measures deeper into their high availability and disaster recovery solutions, services, and strategies. As the volume and variety of data as well as the channels through which data are collected and processed increase, organizations will require more security measures to be baked into their solutions.”
• Sophisticated storage and DR strategies will become crucial to the demands of an increasingly dynamic and data-driven business landscape. “As the volume of unstructured data continues to surge, storage solutions are expected to prioritize scalability, tiered performance, and accessibility. Enterprises will also adopt more sophisticated and resilient DR strategies using multiple high availability (HA) nodes, and DR technologies that understand the complexity of tiered storage solutions. Cloud storage is expected to continue its ascendancy, with organizations increasingly relying on scalable and flexible cloud solutions to meet their expanding data requirements. At the same time, a growing number of companies will look to move workloads out of the cloud to on-prem environments in favor of more predictable costs and greater control over their environments.”

About SIOS Technology Corp.
SIOS Technology Corp. high availability and disaster recovery solutions ensure availability and eliminate data loss for critical Windows and Linux applications operating across physical, virtual, cloud, and hybrid cloud environments.

Taipei, Taiwan - January 10, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — QNAP® Systems, Inc. today released Boxafe version 2.0, the Google™ Workspace and Microsoft 365® backup solution, including new enterprise-oriented features and license plans. Enterprises and managed service providers can easily leverage Boxafe to protect SaaS data from unforeseen disasters that could potentially cause irreparable damage to businesses.

Key features
Backup to NAS or cloud: Back up SaaS data to not only a local QNAP NAS, but also to on-prem servers or a cloud-based QuTScloud (will be supported soon).

Sub-domain backup: Even if organizations have multiple company domains/subdomains, Boxafe enables users to back up data across all sub-domains along with the main domain through one user interface.

Roles and permissions: IT staff can efficiently manage thousands of employee SaaS accounts while securing personal data by flexibly designating backup/restore job permissions, such as Global Admin, Domain Admin, Auditor, and customized user roles.

Improved backup management: While previous versions of Boxafe stored backup data in a hidden path in the NAS volumes where Boxafe is installed, version 2.0 supports backing up to user-defined storage paths. It includes backup to local spaces or remote storage via iSCSI. To ensure data safety, backup data will be kept even if users uninstall Boxafe.

Access logs: Keep detailed logs of each activity performed using Boxafe to protect company data from being mishandled.

Secondary backup for doubled protection: Boxafe 2.0 makes it easier to protect data by supporting easy secondary backup with Hybrid Backup Sync and the relinking function to existing backup data. Depending on requirements, users can recover data as a full or granular restore. Users can recover data by overwriting original data or as a new data in a new folder.

License plans from Boxafe 2.0
QNAP offers various license plans to meet user requirements. Annual licenses are available for greater savings. Please visit Software Store to see the license plan or contact Sales for the quote.

Workwear brand migrates more than 600 workloads from multiple legacy backup vendors to Rubrik Security Cloud

Enhances security and protection of highly-sensitive customer and partner data

PALO ALTO, Calif. - January 09, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Rubrik, the Zero Trust Data Security™ company, today announced that America’s premium workwear brand Carhartt has consolidated multiple legacy backup tools with Rubrik Security Cloud to achieve cyber resilience. After moving to Rubrik, Carhartt realized more than 50 percent in monthly cost savings, while significantly improving its data security capabilities.

“Data resilience is key to the continued security and success of our business. We work hard to ward off intruders but we have to operate on the assumption that they will find a way in,” said Michael Karasienski, cloud platforms manager at Carhartt. “Rubrik Security Cloud restores data fast and without fail for both our cloud and on-premises environments. Rubrik plays a key role in building trust in our system with secure protocols and access controls; it isn’t just a data security solution, it’s peace of mind for our brand.”

Established in 1889, Carhartt has a rich heritage of developing rugged products for workers on and off the job. The company honors hard work, approaching its business with the same honesty, dependability, and trust that its consumers display day-in and day-out.

Prior to Rubrik, Carhartt used a variety of different backup solutions across its operations. After an upgrade of a critical application failed, Carhartt’s administrators discovered that that application data hadn’t been backed up, forcing the team to reconstruct more than two-weeks’ worth of data manually. Furthermore, the Carhartt team discovered malware in backups from its legacy tools, resulting in weeks of searching data sets to manually complete the investigation.

With Rubrik Security Cloud, Carhartt’s IT team can now devote more time to other priorities — like business requests, incidents, and reducing technical debt — while saving more than 50 percent in operational costs each month. The company’s IT and Security teams are also collaborating to reduce risk to the organization, zeroing in on malware and tying investigations into its security operations center.

“A highly interconnected business like Carhartt is responsible for mountains of sensitive data. Protecting that data is paramount to maintain customer trust and minimize business disruption,” said Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik. “Outdated legacy technology was never built with security in mind, so organizations must turn to modernized platforms and zero-trust methodologies to defend their data. With a holistic solution like Rubrik Security Cloud, organizations like Carhartt know their business will be resilient in the face of any cyber threat.”

Carhartt utilizes numerous Rubrik products, including Anomaly Detection, Sensitive Data Monitoring, Threat Hunting, as well as its integration with Microsoft Sentinel.

ExaGrid reports a record bookings and revenue quarter in Q4 2023, and 12 consecutive quarters of positive P&L, EBITDA, and free cash flow

Marlborough, Mass. - January 8, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — ExaGrid®, the industry’s only Tiered Backup Storage solution, today announced that it had an all-time record bookings and revenue in the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023, and a record-breaking year overall in 2023.

ExaGrid’s revenue grew over the previous quarter and the same quarter a year ago. ExaGrid grew at over 20% in 2023 while maintaining positive P&L, EBITDA, and free cash flow for the past 12 consecutive quarters.

ExaGrid added 173 new customers in Q4 2023, including 59 six-figure new customer deals and 3 seven-figure new customer deals. ExaGrid has more than 4,100 active upper mid-market to large enterprise customers that use ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage to protect their data, adding many Fortune 1000 customers in the quarter. ExaGrid’s growth is accelerating, and the company is hiring in all aspects of the business worldwide.

“ExaGrid is continuing to expand its reach and now has sales teams in over 30 countries worldwide, with customer installations in over 80 countries. Outside of the United States, our business in Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific is rapidly growing. We now do 48% of our business outside of the United States,” said Bill Andrews, President and CEO of ExaGrid.

“Years ago, ExaGrid realized that no vendor was building storage that optimizes backup, as they were all selling primary storage products as backup storage targets or they were selling inline deduplication appliances, which are slow for backups and restores and result in costly forklift upgrades. Backup storage has unique needs, due to large backup jobs, incrementals, synthetic fulls, backup rotation, long-term retention and many other aspects that make backup different than primary storage. ExaGrid’s unique Tiered Backup Storage was built specifically to improve backup performance, restore performance, scalability as data grows, security, ransomware recovery, disaster recovery and the economics of backup, with low costs up front and over time,” said Andrews. “Primary storage is not as fast for large backup jobs, is typically not scalable, and it is very expensive for longer-term retention, and it is network-facing making it vulnerable to security attacks. Inline deduplication appliances are slow for backups, slow for restores, are not scalable, and are also network-facing making them vulnerable to security attacks.

“ExaGrid prides itself on having a highly differentiated product that just works, does what we say it does, is sized properly, is well supported, and just gets the job done. We can back up these claims with our 95% net customer retention, NPS score of +81, the fact that 92% of our customers have our Retention Time-Lock for Ransomware Recovery feature turned on, and 99% of our customers are on an active yearly maintenance and support plan,” said Andrews.

Highlights of Q4 2023:

• Strong competitive win rate at over 70% for the quarter
• Brought on 173 new customers
• 59 six-figure new customer deals and 3 seven-figure new customer deals
• More than 4,100 customers protect their data with ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage
• Sales and support teams in 30 countries and customer installations in over 80 countries
• Growing global sales—48% of business came from outside of the United States
• Company remains Cash, EBITDA, and P&L positive over the last 12 quarters
• ExaGrid won “Storage Company of the Year” and “Backup/Archive Innovation of the Year” at the SDC Awards in November, adding to the 5 industry award wins earlier in the year at the Storage Awards and the Network Computing Awards—for a total of 7 industry awards in 2023
• Stronger integration with Commvault: Previously, ExaGrid could take Commvault deduplicated data and improve the deduplication ratio by 3X. In Q4, ExaGrid announced that both Commvault compression and deduplication can be enabled and ExaGrid can further deduplicate the data.

About ExaGrid
ExaGrid provides Tiered Backup Storage with a unique disk-cache Landing Zone, long-term retention repository, and scale-out architecture. ExaGrid’s Landing Zone provides for the fastest backups, restores, and instant VM recoveries. The Repository Tier offers the lowest cost for long-term retention. ExaGrid’s scale-out architecture includes full appliances and ensures a fixed-length backup window as data grows, eliminating expensive forklift upgrades and planned product obsolescence. ExaGrid offers the only two-tiered backup storage approach with a non-network-facing tier (creating a tiered air gap), delayed deletes, and immutable objects to recover from ransomware attacks.

ExaGrid has physical sales and pre-sales systems engineers in the following regions: Argentina, Australia, Benelux, Brazil, Canada, Chile, CIS, Colombia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nordics, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, and other regions.
