Arcserve brings in X Series integrated data protection & security appliances for data centres
Digital Edge Bureau 10 Dec, 2020 0 comment(s)Arcserve, one of world’s leading data backup & recovery solutions providers, has unveiled Arcserve X Series Appliances secured by Sophos, the first self-contained solutions with integrated cyber and data protection for enterprise data volumes. The new appliances uniquely combine deep learning endpoint protection and on- and off-site disaster recovery with over 3PBs of effective capacity in one unit, and linear expansion to increase capacity as needed.
According to the recently released Sophos 2021 Threat Report, organizations are hard-pressed to predict the evolution of cyber threats because ransomware gangs are constantly devising new tactics to hold critical data hostage and solicit ransom payments. For that reason, enterprises must take a proactive approach through an integrated first and last line of defense that offers ransomware prevention, detection and removal, and if needed, automated restore to on-site and cloud targets.
“Most practitioners in the IT community understand the extreme wreckage ransomware often leaves in its wake,” said Phil Goodwin, Research Director at IDC. “Integrating cybersecurity and data protection as a coordinated deployment is critical, of which Arcserve has staked its position at the forefront of this market. The new X Series Appliances expand these integrated technologies and are designed to create a robust system scalable for enterprise data centers.”

“As the threat landscape evolves and data becomes more distributed in our Work-From-Home (WFH) reality, it’s become more critical than ever to invest in the highest-performing tools and services to keep priceless data safe”, said Ivan Pittaluga, CTO, Arcserve. “As more data is being produced, this is equally important that organizations have solutions that can grow with them. Our new appliances are changing the game – giving organizations with enterprise-level data volumes the opportunity to use one solution for backup, cybersecurity as well as on-appliance & cloud disaster recovery with options for high availability. No other appliance can do that, which is why we’re so pleased to offer differentiated value that not only offers significantly higher ROI, but peace of mind”, added Pittaluga.
