They’d previously used multiple backup products: Veeam and Idera, two different server platforms, with the whole setup replicated in a nearby co-location facility used for disaster recovery. But when the co-lo lease had come up for renewal, the IT team turned to us. Our backups in the data center locations are immutable, preventing attackers’ attempts to encrypt or delete them. “If any virtual machine or SQL Server is encrypted in an attack,” LaFleur says, “we can instantly restore a snapshot to any point in time.”
When the attack hit, the Cohesity data security and management platform was already in place. Spring ISD had stored one immutable copy of virtual machines (VMs) and databases on-premises and another on AWS. The day after the attack, even before school started, the IT team had already restored its Active Directory servers and critical learning servers. Finance and the Student Information Systems were restored within two days. No disruption to learning.

Data safeguards are fundamental to preserving customer trust and keeping your competitive edge. They counter evolving ransomware threats, including new ones such as “Lockers” that completely shut you out of your system files and applications while showing you a countdown clock to an expected ransom payment date and time. Without improving your safeguards, your business has no way of protecting your data from being encrypted—or worse, stolen—by cybercriminals.
For optimal data resiliency across hybrid and multicloud environments, be sure these six non-negotiable backup security capabilities are part of any data management solution you’re seriously considering.

Despite both the rise in threats and the high percentage of respondents whose organizations suffered recent attacks, there hasn’t been a corresponding uptick in strategic measures to shore up cyber resilience. In fact, close to four in five survey respondents don’t have complete confidence that their company has a cyber resilience strategy designed to address today’s escalating cyber challenges and threats.

In 2022, Bardel decided to replace its aging PixStor solution with a Qumulo filer for its live production workloads to improve data security and performance. Their plan was to use Qumulo to move all of Bardel’s customer data as a backup set into an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Glacier environment in a deep archive state for data protection. Bardel was also getting ready to relocate to a newly constructed data center facility in Vancouver.
The existing backups worked fairly well at first, but performance started to decline. “Our production workloads weren’t very heavy during the initial previous deployment,” said Arash Roudafshan, VP of Technology at Bardel Entertainment Inc.
