For mission-critical applications in various industries like banking, capital markets, insurance and healthcare, there is a need to support highly available synchronous data replication to ensure high level platform protection and availability. Providing this functionality is key for a business to function unhindered. The cost of data unavailability can be significant to a business, with some estimates measuring the impact at several thousand dollars per minute and upwards of six figures or more if the unavailability lasts for an hour or more. And this doesn’t take into account recoverability to the latest dataset right before the failure. With these types of dollar amounts, the inability to bring the system back to its latest data point can have a tremendous impact on the viability of a business. Customers need RPOs of zero to help ensure any incident that takes down a primary site will allow a secondary disaster recovery site to be brought online quickly with the latest copy of the d

This is a guest post from Srujana Puttagunta - Senior Product Marketing Manager RubrikAre you attending the .NEXT 2023 conference in Chicago this year? As a gold sponsor, Rubrik is excited to showcase its industry-leading data security platform designed specifically to combat the growing threat of cyberattacks and help organizations recover with speed and confidence.Legacy backups are obsolete – here's whyAccording to a recent survey, 66% of organizations were hit with ransomware within the last year. Relying on legacy backups as a defense against cyberattacks is ineffective and obsolete in today's rapidly evolving threat landscape.Legacy backups are vulnerable to cyberattacks, fail to provide critical insights and visibility into what data is at risk, and don’t allow you to simulate and test your recovery, which makes it difficult to ensure that the restored data is free of malware.Rubrik Security Cloud: A trusted solution for cyber recoveryRubrik Security Cloud is the leading data se

How to get off the sidelines and accomplish your datacenter modernization goalsThis is a guest post from Joseph George, Vice President of Compute, Industry and Strategic Alliances, Hewlett Packard EnterpriseWhen I talk to customers, nearly all of them have datacenter modernization on their minds. Some want to free themselves from the cost concerns and risks of legacy IT so they can simply run existing applications with better performance, efficiency, and security. Some want the latest IT so they can take advantage of cool new technologies like AI, blockchain, containers, and quantum computing.Many want to do all of this. And nearly all of them hope modernization will help them overcome challenges with staffing shortages, budget pressures, and the need to reduce energy consumption to fight rising energy costs and meet sustainability goals.Datacenter modernization done right can help you accomplish these goals and more. It can help you do more with less and stretch budget and staff resou
Today, organizations face many choices on where to run their applications and what is best for their employees and customers. The use of public (shared) clouds has emerged as an alternative to running applications on a private (with the organization’s data centers). While each has benefits, many enterprises are using both types of clouds. While specific applications may require highly tuned servers, storage, or networking profiles, many applications can be run in either environment.Enterprises may run hundreds of different applications which consume differing amounts of compute, storage, and networking performance, to deliver agreed-upon SLAs to the customers (users). Highly tuned systems may also include a specific amount of cores, memory, storage types, and networking options unavailable in a public cloud environment. While public clouds offer many types of instances to customers, there are still many configurations that cannot be rented in a public cloud. For example, if terabytes o
