Ensure business resilience via high availability & disaster recovery
By: Intervision
Type: White Paper
Business continuity hinges on High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) strategies. HA minimizes disruptions, while DR restores systems post-crisis. Together, they ensure system resilience.
Yet, with cyber-attacks now a major threat, DR plans must evolve, incorporating immutable data storage and isolated DR sites to counteract these risks.
Revisiting and updating your DR plan is vital to combat the current threat environment. Access this white paper to learn how you can integrate HA and DR for robust business protection.

It's hyper converged-with-everything in today's datacentre
By: TechTarget ComputerWeekly.com
Type: eGuide
Hyper-converged infrastructure has taken the datacentre by storm.
At heart it is the marrying of compute and storage in one box, but with a couple of crucial additions.
These are the ability to combine multiple nodes into a single cluster, with resources shared in grid-like fashion between them. And, at the same time, that is usually accompanied by a built-in virtualisation hypervisor.
Those characteristics make hyper-converged infrastructure simple to roll out and manage, and well-suited to use cases that range from SME deployments to multiple-node enterprise implementations.
In fact, it's almost a case of "We're all hyper-converged now", as the datacentre-in-a-box threatens to eclipse the shared storage array.
In this e-guide we look at the key hyper-converged vendors and their products, as well as hyper-converged tailored to disaster recovery, backup, cloud functionality, and the software-defined hyper-converged products available.
