The question isn’t as simple as it might seem: There are lots of great reasons to embrace modern Backup as a Service (BaaS) solutions, including governance, extended data preservation, IT oversight of endpoint and ROBO backups, etc. There is also one overwhelmingly great reason to utilize Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) — enhanced availability…

Cloud-Powered Data Protection — Definitions and Clarifications
We continue to see a great amount of interest in combining “data protection” and “the cloud” – but also a great deal of confusion, in that there isn’t such thing as “the cloud.” It is a misnomer to discuss data protection media as having three choices (tape, disk or cloud) because cloud services are not…

VMware DRaaS Announcements are a Good Thing!
Today, VMware announced enhancements to both its vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) and vCloud Air Disaster Recovery. In both cases, VMware is essentially asking, “Why just BaaS when you can DRaaS?” Over the past three VMworld events: In 2013, VMware was talking about vSphere Data Protection (VDP/VDPA).

Your SaaS Application needs to be Backed Up!
As I mentioned in my Data Protection Predictions for 2015 video, SaaS backup should be on the top of anyone’s mind who is running for the clouds: namely Office 365, SalesForce, or GoogleApps. According to ESG’s 2015 IT Spending Intentions Survey‘s five-year outlook for SaaS, over half of IT organizations will move from on-premises Exchange…

You can prepare for tomorrow’s disaster today
This week, many of my colleagues are preparing for Winter Storm Juno. One of my compatriots actually warned his friends on Facebook that he was going to run around supermarket aisles telling folks “We’re all going to die!!” But seriously, it wasn’t that many years ago that IT folks would shrug their shoulders with the…

SaaS Backup … Hunger Games style

What if Cloud-Backup-Storage was Free?
Not Backup-as-a-Service, but just cloud-storage that could be used to supplement a backup.
