  • Four Hundred Monitor, December 14

    December 14, 2022 Jenny Thomas

    This is it! The last Monitor of 2022. While we are grateful to have survived another year in the Jungle, the idea of a few weeks off is sounding pretty good about right now. We do have one more issue of The Four Hundred for you to look forward to coming up this Monday, but after that, we will be on recharge mode until 2023. Before we go, here’s one last look around our ecosystem, starting with an opportunity for you to influence the direction of our favorite IBM i. The whole team at IT Jungle wishes you a happy and healthy holiday season!

    A Focal Point Solutions Group Company

    Comprehensive Data Protection from UCG Technologies

    Your organization needs to be thinking differently about your backup & disaster recovery strategy

    Concerns of the Industry

    • Inefficient manual backup processes
    • Effectively storing data offsite
    • Developing and testing a concrete disaster recovery plan
    • Efficient access to data in a disaster scenario for necessary users
    • Risk of cyber security attack
    • Declining IT staff and resources

    The true cause of the above concerns is an organization’s status quo – 80% of IBM i users currently backup to tape and 40% of companies have no DR plan at all. Don’t wait for a disaster to take action.

    The new way to ensure cost-effective safety

    • Automated cloud backup
    • Two (2) remote sites – redundant storage, power, internet pipe, firewalls, etc.
    • Data encryption at all times – in-flight and at-rest
    • Fully managed remote hardware DR, including remote VPN access for necessary users
    • Regularly simulated phishing tests and cyber security training

    Potential “landmines” in solutions to avoid

    • Single point of storage – no redundancy
    • Misleading data analysis, compression/de-dup ratios, sizing of necessary computer resources for backup and DR
    • Large-scale cloud storage with difficult recovery
    • Inability to meet RTO/RPO

    Don’t get caught like the many organizations we’ve seen with inefficient exposed backup data and no DR plan!

    What VAULT400 has to offer

    Backup

    • Native software agent schedules backups to the UCG cloud based on your retention scheme
    • Client data is backed up to two data centers in US or two data centers in Canada
    • 256-bit AES encryption in-flight and at rest – only the client has the encryption key
    • Detailed data analysis to ensure proper sizing

    Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

    • UCG provides “hands-off” DR – fully managed recovery
    • 60 days of remote VPN access available to unlimited users in event of a disaster
    • Documented reports to ensure defined SLAs are met

    Managed Service Cyber Security Training

    • Fully managed phishing tests
    • Detailed reporting of results
    • Fully managed administration of custom online cyber security training

    VAULT400 Cloud Backup & DRaaS is an IBM Server Proven Solution.
