Data migration, i.e. moving data from an old system to a new one, is an important task in a company. Experience shows that data migration often takes a lot of time and is associated with a number of challenges. But it is also much faster, easier and safer! The average lifespan of IT hardware is five years. After this period, replacement is required, often due to performance limitations or security risks. Additionally, technological advances mean that companies need to update their data systems. Outdated systems pose a security risk. Migration…

A data archive is a must for every company. Few people know: An active WORM archive can help to streamline data backup, save costs and prepare for future requirements. It is also resistant to ransomware thanks to insurmountable hardware sealing! In many films, officers are sent to the archives as punishment after making mistakes. Dark rooms with hallways full of files that almost no one except the archivist ever sees. Often, however, the archive and the all-knowing archivist save the hero in the end because this is the only place where crucial information can be found...

Unclouding solutions: secondary storage for medium-sized businesses

Medium-sized companies are (statistically) neither start-ups nor corporations, have been in business for a long time, are responsible for hundreds of employees - and are an important pillar of the German economy and society. Constant change and sustainability are not empty phrases, but pure necessity for long-term success. Even with the secure storage of data outside the cloud. When it comes to storage IT, the same questions keep coming up: Where and how do I store my data – and with what solution? In addition to technical details, it is about availability, flexibility and trust. Where do I store my data?...

Data security in companies - with sustainability!
Data security in companies - with sustainability!

High data security in companies with revision-proof storage does not have to be achieved with constant hardware replacement. Sustainability is also when existing, older devices are compatible with the latest developments, such as many Silent Cubes. According to a current study by the European Parliament, around 14% of the e-waste collected in Germany is made up of IT and telecommunications equipment. The countless old devices, especially notebooks and smartphones, which are rarely recycled, are not taken into account. In German companies, the entire old IT infrastructure is replaced with new devices every four years on average, while a smartphone…

Veam and FAST LTA invite you to a free joint webinar on November 16, 2022 from 10:00 a.m. on the topic of "Bulletproof Recovery". Because without a functioning recovery, the best backup is not worth a penny. Backup is a fine concept, but unfortunately the crucial component is all too often neglected: without a functioning recovery, a backup is of no use at all. That is why companies and authorities must regularly test the functionality and reliability of their backup and recovery strategy under real conditions.
