The need for companies to balance the costs, performance and capacity of their data storage resources has resulted in a complex mix of storage tiers, which also limits the benefits that can be derived from the faster access and analysis of data.

Senwes, the South African agriculture firm, has begun using an enterprise data storage array provided by INFINIDAT. The storage solution promises to deliver faster-than-all-flash performance, high availability and multi-petabyte scale capacity. With the new offering, Senwes aims to future-proof its storage growth through improved performance, reduced costs, and increase reliability.

The need for companies to balance the costs, performance and capacity of their data storage resources has resulted in a complex mix of storage tiers, which also limits the benefits that can be derived from the faster access and analysis of data.

However, software-defined storage solutions can help to manage the complexity and, thereby, make data available when and where it is needed in business processes. This type of solution improves data management and stewardship, which also facilitates data protection compliance and improves security, says enterprise storage multinational Infinidat South Africa country manager Hayden Sadler.

INFINIDAT, the market’s leading independent provider of enterprise-class data storage solutions, today announced that it was named by Gartner Inc. as a Leader in the 2018 Magic Quadrant for General-Purpose Disk Arrays. Recognizing INFINIDAT’s completeness of vision and ability to execute, Gartner analysts this year placed INFINIDAT further along on the Completeness of Vision axis and higher on the Ability to Execute axis, moving it into the Leaders quadrant. According to Gartner’s research methodology, “Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow.”* INFINIDAT has also achieved high ratings in Gartner Peer Insights, garnering 136 reviews and an average 4.9 rating out of 5 as of November 10, 2018.

Eran Brown, INFINIDAT EMEA CTO, outlines how, whilst data breaches are a key concern for businesses under GDPR, the loss of data from a ransomware attack is also a fundamental concern and is punishable under the regulation for non-compliance.

With a record number of highly publicized career-ending data breaches, it has been a difficult time to be a CIO / CISO over the past 12 months, and there are no signs of things getting easier in the near future. The industry is facing the coming together of two key trends in data security: stronger regulatory requirements from authorities across the globe, and increasing levels of sophistication shown in the tactics of malicious hackers. Regulations such as GDPR in the EU and HIPAA in the US healthcare industry have redefined what is considered a data breach, and the threats to businesses are increasingly involving human targeting and social engineering to gain access to valuable personal data.
