The chances of anything really new coming from storage are a million to one, but still they come

Transmission inbound… Argh! It’s frying our systems!

Actifio and Google’s cloud

Actifio has uncovered some backup and data recovery shenanigans for Google Cloud Platform. It said it could help enterprise customers:

Enable disaster recovery of on-premises and cloud workloads on GCP
Rewind and recover data sets of 100 or more terabytes in minutes
Retain point-in-time data from days to decades
Reuse backups to provision thin clones
Protect workloads from any cloud or data centre to Google Cloud

It’s available for download via Google Cloud Launcher.

Actifio said at its Data Driven 2018 conference that it would be expanding its long-standing alliance with IBM, with a new focus on cyber resiliency.
