I noticed something today – disaster recovery plans are no different than relationships. Bear with me while I draw this analogy for you. In order to get a good disaster recovery plan (you know, one that you can see yourself with for a long time), you need to put in the time. Sure, I can go to […]
“The day began like any other Monday morning – that’s when the phone rang…One of the traders couldn’t access a file that was critical for trading. Assuming it was nothing out of the ordinary, I began work to try and restore the file. It was then that I noticed the Ransomware infection. I stared in […]

In recent weeks, the US and Caribbean have been hit by what seems to be a never-ending barrage of storms during one of worst hurricane seasons in recent history. As Texas and Florida begin to assess the impact of the destruction caused by these devastating storms, those of us watching from other parts of the […]
In today’s evolving digital landscape, comprehensive disaster recovery (DR) solutions are more important than ever. Modern businesses can’t afford downtime or data loss, and customers expect 24/7 access to their data and applications. But as DR solutions and the threats they defend against become more complex, making the right choice about DR is imperative to […]

Airlines, take notes from GitLab. This is how you do a disaster. We’ve been saying this for years, disasters are gonna happen. Not a week goes by without news of some airline outage, ransomware taking down a hospital or power failure taking down a major website. This week saw (at least) two. Delta’s outage and GitLab’s […]

Standing in their way […]
On Alton Brown’s cooking show, he used to abhor a unitasker – a tool used for only one thing. They clutter the cabinets and are useful only in the rare instance that you need to slice an egg or store half an onion. Similarly, a unitasking product in tech is annoying. They clutter your IT […]
What Is DRaaS? Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is one deployment method for disaster recovery. It used to involve bringing a datacenter to you on the back of a large truck and uploading your data to it. Old-fashioned as that sounds, this cumbersome and time-consuming process was once the gold standard for disaster recovery […]
Data Everywhere Business continuity is an area of increasing complexity in the current multi-cloud IT paradigm. In the old days, we used backups to protect against ‘localized’, limited-impact data loss, like a single system crash, and small-scale data loss. On the other hand, disaster recovery is a set of plans and technical capabilities that help […]
