Storage trends 2016: Storage priorities, cloud appliances and NAS vs object storage

Computer Weekly keeps its finger on the pulse in the world of data storage, with regular news, features and practical articles. This guide offers a collection of our most popular articles on storage-related issues from the first few months of 2016. In the Computer Weekly IT priorities survey, readers tell us cloud is top of the IT departments’ to-do list, while storage and backup for virtualised environments is still a key priority. Meanwhile, we look at the growing market for cloud storage appliances, on-site hardware that helps overcome some potential shortcomings of working with the cloud. Finally, we examine the suitability of NAS and object storage for large volumes of unstructured data, asking which works best in what circumstances.

  • Hybrid Cloud Backup Guide

    According to a recent report, ransomware attacks were up 93% in 2021, so it’s no longer a question of if, but when you’ll be affected by ransomware. Secure backup is your last line of defense.

    In this e-book, Hybrid Cloud Backup Guide, uncover how you can:

    • Overcome challenges of hybrid cloud backup
    • Protect, manage and control your data across any infrastructure — cloud, virtual, on-premises, SaaS and Kubernetes
    • Achieve cloud mobility
    • And more

    Open your copy now to learn how you can leverage the cloud for data protection and non-cloud workload security, as well as secure hybrid cloud workloads.

  • The vulnerability of backup in a predominantly remote + cloud world

    Backup is fundamental to IT, but things have changed a lot recently. The pandemic has had a key impact in this. With the rise in cloud working it also threw our ability to protect cloud data into sharp focus, and raised the importance of cloud-to-cloud backup.

    In this e-guide we look at the effects of the pandemic on backup, including the increased prevalence of remote working and use of the cloud. Then we also look at where backups can go wrong, because it’s one thing to set backups jobs running but the crucial part is to know you can rely on being able to recover from them. We also focus in on the key differences between backups and snapshots, why they are not the same
    and how a good data protection strategy incorporates both methods.
