VMware Exec Reveals 4 Ransomware Recovery Strategy Mistakes to Avoid
Ransomware attacks have consistently been on the rise in recent years. In fact, VMware research shows that nearly 60 percent of companies surveyed experienced a ransomware attack in the past 12 months, while 65 percent noted an increase in attacks since Russia invaded Ukraine. The bigger challenge, however, isn’t that these attacks are becoming more prominent – but that the nature of the attacks has significantly changed.

The Need for Ransomware Recovery as-a-Service: Introducing VMware Ransomware Recovery
Ransomware is the disaster of the decade. Ransomware attacks have evolved from scattered threats by small-time hackers into multi-stage, targeted campaigns from sophisticated criminal organizations and state-sponsored groups. Attackers today have quite a different modus operandi than they used to—they now encrypt backups and target critical infrastructure. One ransomware attack takes place every 11 seconds today (Cybersecurity Ventures, November 2020).

The Future of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure: VMware vSAN the Best Partner for Hybrid Work
“Hybrid work” is now part of the daily lexicon of professionals everywhere: an arrangement where employees split their work locations between their home and the office. Automation of routine process tasks is now also grouped into the term. Only IT professionals know how many behind-the-scenes technology services go into supporting a hybrid work arrangement. Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is one such asset companies everywhere are leveraging.
Splunk SmartStore on Cloudian and VMware
Why Splunk SmartStore Architecture? Splunk software helps create hidden value from ever-growing machine data. As data volume increases and decisions are made based on this data, retention periods are getting longer. As a result, organizations are looking for more cost-effective storage solutions to manage their growing Splunk datastores. To address this, Splunk introduced a feature called SmartStore, which offers enhanced storage management functionality.
What's New in VMware Cloud DR
Disaster recovery is one of those things we like to save for later. After all, it can be very time and resource-consuming, and will you ever really need it? In today’s environment, the answer is yes. In the past, organizations would agree with signing off on the risk of a traditional DR event happening, whereas today the rise of ransomware has dramatically changed that paradigm.
What is Edge Computing and What Makes it Unique?
“Edge computing” is one of the latest buzzwords in our industry, and like other overused words, the definition can be quickly lost. Many people face similar confusion with terms like “cloud;” what cloud means can vary from person to person or organization to organization. Is the cloud a physical location? Is it a concept? An organizational process? In order to demystify edge computing, I’d like to share how VMware thinks about it.
VMware vSAN + VMware Cloud Flex Storage = Broader Application Support

What’s New in VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery: Integrated Data Protection and Accelerated Ransomware Recovery
If you’re here, you probably already know why you need a Disaster Recovery plan. With ransomware attacks skyrocketing to cost the world over $10T (USD) by 2025[1], it is the need of the hour. But this isn’t just about having a plan. It’s about being able to trust your plan. The question now is, do you trust your plan? And does that plan align with your other business needs and priorities? We want to help you trust your plan.
Retention Levels - Another Disaster Recovery SLA
When looking at DR solutions, the two primary SLAs most often considered are RPO and RTO. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) will determine the last good data set and potential for data loss or need for other data reconstruction methods. RTO (Recovery Time Objective) will determine how quickly you can get business back online to an operational level. In both cases above, lower values are better – that translate into less data gap and quicker return to service.

Disaster Recovery as a Service in Five Steps
If you live in Washington, D.C. — or any of the dozen states affected by the recent Colonial Pipeline hack — you know ransomware can have a direct effect on your life. Thousands of drivers were forced to wait in line for gas, while many more had to do without. Elsewhere, cyberattacks have even more significant consequences — hospitals were targeted at the chaotic height of the COVID-19 crisis, and 911 call centers are not sacrosanct, either.
Rapid Ransomware Recovery Needs a New Type of Filesystem
Just Backup Copies Are Not Sufficient Anymore Every business needs backup copies for their primary datasets, and these copies are typically stored in a backup storage system. However, the most important reason to have backup copies is for recovery. In a disaster-recovery (DR) scenario, it is all about how fast the applications can be recovered. If you always have to rehydrate datasets from a backup storage system to a primary storage system before you can power on VMs, it just takes too long.
