The current environment is exceptionally challenging for businesses from an information technology (IT) perspective. Some of the issues organisations must contend with include lack of time, the need for talent with critical skills, and budgets that are always tight and must be optimised.

The current environment is exceptionally challenging for businesses from an Information Technology (IT) perspective. Some of the issues organisations must contend with include lack of time, the need for talent with critical skills, and budgets that are always tight and must be optimised. There is also risk, including risk inherent in the design, integration, and deployment of new solutions, as well as universal risks such as cyberthreats and compliance requirements. Alongside this is the added complexity of environments with multiple architectures and technology stacks with siloed applications. The storage layer lies at the heart of addressing many of these challenges. With an intelligent solution, organisations can exploit infrastructure intelligence, ensure service level delivery, improve IT efficiency, and focus on business aspects and not worry about how the technology operates.

As cyberattacks continue to rise, enterprise storage cyber resilience and data protection is essential for enterprises – it is a matter of when and not if an enterprise will suffer from a cyberattack.

Phil Bullinger, 58, is CEO of Infinidat since January 2021. Globally with 35 years of experience in the storage industry, he has led several business and department entities.

Infinidat, a leading provider of enterprise storage solutions, has announced that the company has been named a Leader in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Primary Storage, marking the 5th consecutive year that Gartner has recognized Infinidat’s in enterprise storage, including four years in the Primary Storage Magic Quadrant and one year in the Magic Quadrant for general-Purpose Disk Arrays.

Ransomware and malware have become part and parcel of business in today’s world. Organisations need to be adequately prepared, which means that their data protection strategy must go beyond the traditional backup, restore, and disaster recovery.

As cyberattacks continue to rise, enterprise storage cyber resilience and data protection is essential for enterprises – it is a matter of when and not if an enterprise will suffer from a cyberattack. The pressing challenge enterprises are experiencing is that cybercriminals have evolved their attacks targeting not just primary storage and production data but also secondary repositories and data backups. A data breach can have catastrophic consequences on an organisation and render unprepared businesses offline for extended periods of time as they scramble to recover. However, cybersecurity alone is no longer sufficient. While preventing a cyberattack is the optimal strategic approach, it is not always possible, and when an incident occurs, cyber resilience is key to reducing downtime to a matter of minutes instead of days, weeks or even months."
