What Is Hybrid Cloud Backup? What does “hybrid cloud backup” mean? Hybrid cloud backup is a data protection approach where copies of your business data are backed up to both local infrastructure and a cloud storage location. Backups are typically generated locally where they get tested and remain for recovery purposes before being replicated to…
Welcome, everybody. Thanks for joining us today, and thanks to Carahsoft for hosting this webinar. Today’s session is called “One Platform, Every Industry,” and that title is a direct claim about what Bacula Enterprise does across the full spectrum of government environments. Whether you are managing infrastructure for a federal agency, a DoD component, the…
A mechanical failure or a cyberattack costs an industrial operation far more than it costs an ordinary enterprise IT operation. Unforeseen downtime for large-scale manufacturers now averages $260,000 per hour. Yet, the figure swings drastically from industry to industry, with the automotive industry sitting at the far end of the spectrum. It’s estimated that downtime…
Healthcare produces more data, including clinical records and behavioral data, than other sectors. This data is constantly collected by various systems, such as analytics platforms and artificial intelligence pipelines. Healthcare data has a high clinical value and is a major target for hacker groups. That’s why it’s rather challenging for healthcare organizations to protect their…
Why is healthcare information security critical in modern hospitals? With modern healthcare delivery entirely relying on digital infrastructure, healthcare information security is critical for patient safety and operational continuity. Even small data compromises can put patient lives and hospital operations at risk, as well as violate privacy laws. The rapid digitization of the healthcare industry…
What Makes Healthcare Data Security Different from Standard Enterprise Data Security? Healthcare data security is subject to a set of security considerations that rarely appear in typical enterprise privacy and security discussions. A host of strict regulatory requirements, personal data that cannot be duplicated or replaced, and the health of a patient as a direct…
What Are Electronic Health Records and Why Do They Matter? Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are the digital representation of patients’ medical history. These secure and real-time digital records include medication, diagnosis, lab results and imaging. EHRs enable modern healthcare to secure and share patient-related information among authorized providers, such as primary doctors, specialists, and laboratories….
What is EU digital sovereignty? Digital sovereignty in the context of the European Union is related to Europe’s capabilities to govern its own data, technology, and digital infrastructure without relying on foreign powers or third-party platforms. The concept that started off as a political ambition is now a full-fledged regulatory reality that shapes the way…
It is perhaps impossible to predict all of the possible failures and/or catastrophic events when it comes to data in the modern world. Each business should do their best to protect against losing their data, which, if a significant amount was lost, would likely mean either starting from scratch or even suffering fatal damage to…
Are you in the high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, or quantum technologies field? There is one event in Europe not to be missed every year. ISC High Performance (formerly known as the International Supercomputing Conference) brings together the global High-Performance Computing (HPC) community to share ideas, debate, and showcase the technology shaping the next decade of…
InterSystems IRIS represents a cutting-edge data platform that requires robust backup and restore strategies to maintain database integrity and ensure business continuity. Organizations relying on IRIS technology must implement comprehensive procedures to protect their valuable data from loss in the event of hardware failures, human errors, or disaster scenarios. This article explores the essential aspects…
Advanced BeeGFS Backup requires careful planning and a structured backup strategy to ensure data integrity across nodes; begin with a minimal backup of important system components, including metadata targets, configuration files, and critical binaries, before making any infrastructure changes. For operators managing more complex environments, it is important to review advanced topics such as snapshot…
