The Changing Face of Cyber-Security

NAND Research — Thu, 05 May 2022 10:00:00 -0400

There is nothing more critical to IT administrators (and their bosses!) than cyber-security and data protection. Old methods of securing our infrastructure are no longer as effective as they once were. Instead, we're moving into an era of AI-based decisions about what data and traffic to let in, and keep out, of our networks.

Hillstone Networks is a strong innovator in this space. In this episode HIllstone's Tim Liu and Gary Wang join hosts Matt Kimball and Steve McDowell to help us understand the evolving nature of cyber-security.

Commvault is having a great run in the white-hot data management and data protection space. It's most recent quarter set records for the quarter-century old organization. Credit for its revitalization and success falls directly in the lap of its CEO, Sanjay Mirchandani, who took the reins in early 2019.

On this edition of the DataPodcast podcast, Steve McDowell of Moor Insights & Strategy goes one-on-one with Sanjay to get his unique perspective on the data management and data protection market, and how Commvault's strategy aligns with that vision.

In a wide-ranging conversation, Sanjay and Steve talk about the new realities of a hybrid/multi-cloud world, re-thinking business continuity in the wake of COVID-19, why storage is critical to data protection, and how Commvault is thinking about the future .

Cloud-Native Data Protection, Commvault Style

NAND Research — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 13:45:00 -0500

It's KubeCon week, which means that we're all thinking about containers! Containers require a different way of thinking about persistent data, which deeply influences how data protection operates in a cloud-native world. It's really all about intelligent data management. And nobody understands intelligent data management quite like CommVault.

CommVault's Global VP of Sales Engineering Don Foster joins hosts Matt Kimball and Steve McDowell to talk about the intersection of data protection and container orchestration.

The guys touch on everything from how data protection for containers is differerent from more traditional architectures, to how you integrate containers into an end-to-end DP strategy, to cloud-native backup-as-a-service.

It's a great conversation for anyone charged with protecting data in an increasingly container-driven environment.

Special Guest: Don Foster.

Talking Data Protection with Arcserve CTO Oussama El-Hilali & VP of Strategic Partnerships Clark Brown

In the data era, data protection is everything. Cyber resilience can mean life and death for companies that rely on intelligence to drive business. So what’s more important? Securing your organization? Or being able to quickly recover from cyberattacks without having to pay ridiculous ransom amounts to a group of hackers in Eastern Europe? The answer is “both.”

In this Datacentric podcast, Steve and Matt speak with Arcserve about its partnership with Sophos and how this integrated solution can help in both the prevention and recovery from cyber incidents. Oussama El-Hilali, Arcserve’s CTO and Clark Brown, VP of Channel Sale and Strategic partnerships talk about the trends leading to this partnership and how they view the market evolving.

Special Guests: Clark Brown and Oussama El-Hilali.
