How Do You Achieve Multi-Cloud Resilience?
In the digital era, the vital role of cloud-based setups is undeniable – especially so for businesses of all sizes looking to take full advantage of cutting-edge capabilities, and for those whose introduction to newer technologies has been sped up by the increase in remote working agreements.
Yet, private and public clouds combined into hybrid and multi-cloud environments come with new sets of challenges when it comes to data visibility and management, security, backup, recovery and overall resiliency.
Cloud Resilience Against Ransomware Attacks
The latter has been brought to the fore as an increasingly pertinent concern due to the rise in ransomware attacks and cloud-based apps.
Resilience, also called resiliency, describes an organization’s capacity to bounce back after suffering disruptions, downtime and other incidents related to attacks and disasters. In the case of ransomware in particular, a resilient solution means the organization has at disposal recent replicated data to be used for recovery following a ransomware infection and encryption event.
Depending on the organization’s infrastructure and operational needs, various types of data replication policies are available. However, by far the most reliable strategy – and the one that Accutech coordinates for its clients – involves continuous data replication checkpoints.
This advanced option creates multiple checkpoints from a live data replication stream. In the event of data corruption or a ransomware attack, the latest healthy, uninfected checkpoint is used for recovery. The frequency of this intelligent replication cycle ensures that there is near-zero data loss even if the ransomware attack successfully encrypts the organization’s data, to hold it hostage.
Platform-Independent and Multi-Cloud Resiliency
This flexible solution is completely platform-independent. It is also ideal for multi-cloud environments. Despite having benefits, multi-cloud setups are rigid and can cause fragmentation, as workloads and applications are spread across on-premises locations, public clouds and private clouds. In such circumstances, you would normally be using different, separate tools to manage data and resiliency for each location – which means higher operational costs and human resources required, as well as increased likelihood for resilience gaps.
In response to this challenge, Accutech can set up a single-pane-of-glass resilience monitoring platform with real visibility – as well as manage it, if required.
This unified approach for your entire IT infrastructure, even when it’s spread across multiple clouds and on-premises data centers, will protect your data and workloads better, granting you increased confidence.
High Resilience Means Increased Uptime
Resiliency in cloud computing comes with a new set of challenges, compared to traditional environments. Multi-cloud setups in particular add complications. Equipped with extensive experience in hybrid and multi-cloud setups and industry-leading tools, Accutech can make your organization more resilient with holistic, accurate solutions designed specifically for you.
