Enhancing ransomware resilience for customers
Spectra Logic has transformed and expanded its entire product portfolio with 'Attack Hardened' and multi-cloud solutions. The introduction of Spectra’s Vail is a pivotal addition to Spectra’s new data storage and management ecosystem. Vail is a distributed multi-cloud software designed to provide universal access and placement of data across multi-site and multi-cloud storage, enabling seamless hybrid and multi-cloud workflows.
The new portfolio also includes the expansion of the Spectra’s BlackPearl multi-purpose hybrid storage platform, which has offered capacity NAS and S3 to tape for over 10 years, and now includes a native S3 interface providing local on-premises S3-standard object storage using the same economical scale-up architecture. BlackPearl helps to protect data from external and internal threats with new Attack-Hardened features such as triggered snapshots, multi-factor authentication, encryption and virtual air gap for ransomware mitigation.
Additionally, Spectra Logic has fortified its entire suite of solutions, including its popular StorCycle Storage Lifecycle Management software, and its family of enterprise-class tape library solutions, against the impact of ransomware and other cyberthreats with the addition of innovative patent pending Attack-Hardened features that help protect customers from cyberattacks, and offer them improved business continuity through rapid restore of clean data after an attack.
“Our successful 40-year track record has led us to develop a new generation of data management and storage solutions for multi-cloud environments so that customers can take full advantage of the best aspects of on-premises applications and multiple cloud services with a single easy-to-use interface,” said Spectra Logic CEO Nathan Thompson. “And with the increase in global ransomware attacks, as well as Spectra’s success in prevailing against a malicious attack, we have added a host of Attack-Hardened features into our entire suite of solutions to enhance ransomware resiliency for our customers.”
“Today, 92 percent of IT organisations are leveraging some public cloud services, yet most continue to maintain on-premises data centres for cost and data security reasons, to name a few,” commented Scott Sinclair, ESG senior industry analyst. “This hybrid cloud architecture is often difficult to manage and protect without a solution such as Spectra’s Vail software, which can unify and safeguard an organisation’s data, no matter where the data is located, whether in the cloud, multi-clouds, or on premises in multiple sites, anywhere in the world.”
