Blocks & Files: The three Cs of Actifio 10c: clouds, containers and copy data

By Chris Mellor -December 18, 2019

Actifio has released a major update of its eponymous copy data manager software.

Actifio 10c focuses on three ‘Cs’: cloud, containers and copy data. The company emphasises backup as a means of getting data into its orbit and using it for archive, disaster recovery, migration and copy data provisioning within and between public clouds and on-premises data centres.

CEO Ash Ashutosh said in a press briefing in Silicon Valley last week: “Copy data begins with backup. And goes all the way to archive.” He said cloud backup is traditionally a low-cost data graveyard but Actifio “provides instant access and re-use.”
