Were eliminating the use of live media for frozen storage, he says. It can save a lot of time and money.
Of course, Revivio isnt the only kid on the continuous data protection block: A number of other startups are working on, or have already started shipping, similar technologies, including Alacritus Software Inc., FilesX Inc., Radiant Data Corp., TimeSpring Software Corp., and Vyant Technologies Inc. The company also finds itself in the same playground as Storage Technology Corp. (StorageTek)s (NYSE: STK) EchoView (see StorageTek Hears an Echo and our report on Data Protection).
Wadsworth, however, says Revivio doesnt have to worry about entering an increasingly crowded space. He insists the startups technology has, in many respects, taken a very unique approach to solving the backup problem.
While most of the other companies in this space use file-based technologies, he says, Revivios software protects at the block level. Ours is not sensitive to what kind of file system youre using, he says. It will support anything.
In addition, he says, TimeFrame sits out-of-band and doesnt require the user to install any agents on the host. Instead, the appliance, which looks like a RAID array to the application and like an application server to the array, receives a continuous mirrored write stream. Because its not in the data path, he says, it can, through a modular approach, scale up to hundreds of thousands of I/O operations per second (IOPS).
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
