The Guide to Choosing Backup Storage
Considerations, key requirements, and options for modern day IT shops
Most IT organizations put significant thought and research into choosing a backup application. However, most also assume you can simply put any kind of storage behind the backup application, and it will just work.

Backup storage is much more complex. While backup applications are usually top of mind, backup storage can often be overlooked and leads to poor performance, and overpaying for storage in the backup environment. In addition, the importance of utilizing backup storage as a key part of the recovery process especially after a ransomware attack. Being prepared for a recovery from a site disaster is also a big part of the equation.

Learn about the core requirements of backup storage, and review the pros and cons of the different approaches to backup storage.
Hidden Secrets Regarding Backup Storage
A comparison of two backup storage approaches: using primary disk storage versus inline deduplication appliances. Uncover how to get the best of both worlds.
A lot of time goes into picking a backup application such as Veeam, Veritas NetBackup, Commvault, HYCU, Oracle RMAN Direct, and dozens of others. However, rarely does anyone think about or truly understand the impact of the backup storage that sits behind these backup application in regards to cost, performance, scalability, and IT staff time.

Learn when it makes sense to use primary storage disk for backup, what value deduplication appliances offer, and uncover how to find the benefits of both approaches in a single backup storage solution.
Technical Review: ExaGrid Retention Time-Lock for Ransomware Recovery
TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group reviewed ExaGrid’s Retention Time-Lock (RTL) for Ransomware Recovery solution. We focused on the benefits RTL offers to organizations in terms of their readiness for ransomware attacks and security policies for data protection and recovery, including immutability (i.e., prevention of any deletion or alteration of volume, application, or database data).
Ransomware attacks pose a significant threat to organizations, yet in 2023, most organizations were not
adequately prepared to deal with them. Enterprise Strategy Group research has shown a considerable gap between the average organization's preparedness level and that of the best-prepared ones. A closer look at readiness, prevention, detection/response, recovery, and business continuity reveals that organizations excel in prevention and response strategies but still lag in recovery strategies.

ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage, with its front-end disk-cache Landing Zone and separate Repository
Tier, contains all retention data. All backups are written directly to the network-facing ExaGrid disk-cache Landing Zone, which provides fast backup performance, and the most recent backups are kept in their full undeduplicated form for fast restores. In addition, ExaGrid’s immutability and RTL approach ensures recovery from a ransomware attack.

If your organization is looking to increase its ransomware readiness, prevention, detection/response, and recovery, Enterprise Strategy Group recommends looking closely at the ExaGrid RTL for Ransomware Recovery solution.

4 Main Benefits of a Thin Client
A Thin Client is a compact, secure desktop computer running a Thin Client OS. It stores no sensitive data locally; instead, all data and applications reside in an on-premises or cloud-based data center. Compared to traditional PCs, Thin Clients are smaller, quieter, more energy-efficient, and cost-effective. They also reduce IT overhead for maintenance. Discover the benefits of Thin Clients for businesses of all size.

A Thin Client is a compact, secure desktop computer that operates using a Thin Client Operating System. Unlike traditional PCs, Thin Clients do not store sensitive data or applications locally. Instead, all data and applications are securely hosted in an on-premises or cloud-based data center, seamlessly integrating with your Windows or SaaS environment. This architecture enhances security by minimizing the risk of data breaches, theft, or unauthorized access.

One of the key advantages of Thin Clients is their efficiency. Compared to conventional desktop PCs, Thin Clients are significantly smaller, consume less power, and generate minimal noise. Their streamlined design not only reduces the physical footprint in the workspace but also lowers energy costs, making them an environmentally friendly alternative. Additionally, Thin Clients require less maintenance and fewer hardware upgrades, translating to long-term cost savings for organizations.

Thin Clients also simplify IT management. With centralized control, IT teams can efficiently monitor, update, and troubleshoot devices across multiple locations without the need for on-site maintenance. This reduces IT overhead, allowing staff to focus on strategic initiatives rather than time-consuming hardware support.

So why choose a Thin Client? With enhanced security, reduced costs, simplified IT management, and greater efficiency, Thin Clients are an intelligent choice for organizations looking to modernize their infrastructure while improving productivity and security.
