New telemetry information alerts organizations under attack and pinpoints the best immutable copy of data to use for recovery.
Organizations must take all reasonable steps to keep ransomware out of their organizations. StorONE’s latest release enables organizations to protect data and recover from attacks if cyber-defenses are compromised. The new release also features an advanced auto-tiering algorithm that intelligently merges flash and hard disk drives to reduce the cost of performance and capacity. The StorONE engine enables IT to use high-density flash and hard disk drives without compromising performance or data resilience. As part of this new release, StorONE delivers a drive-based pricing model, rewarding efficiency and eliminating capacity-based pricing.
The StorONE ransomware protection and recovery strategy have three layers. The first layer protects production and backup data by executing immutable snapshots. The StorONE snapshot technology is unique because it can create space-efficient immutable copies of data every 30 seconds and retain those snapshots indefinitely without impacting performance. Granular recovery points are vital to minimizing an organization’s data threat exposure.
StorONE strengthens its ransomware recovery capabilities in this release by alerting IT that an attack may be beginning. The new release continuously monitors I/O behavior looking for abnormal patterns. If the software detects a spike in read or write activity, it will alert IT, providing a timestamp of when the abnormality began. The organization can then use that timestamp to know which snapshot has the last known good copy of data.
This release also adds dual-factor authentication. Now organizations can require external verification to prevent the StorONE instance from being compromised.
The new StorONE release features an advanced new auto-tiering algorithm that provides consistent performance in hybrid configurations. When the new auto-tiering algorithm is combined with StorONE’s vRAID, the company’s industry-leading RAID rebuild capabilities, organizations can safely use the highest-density flash and hard disk drives without concern of inconsistent performance or prolonged drive-recovery efforts.
StorONE’s drive-based “Scale-for-Free” pricing model is based on the number of drives in use, not total capacity. The new model breaks free of expensive capacity-based license schemes that punish customers for using high-density drives, keeping them from enjoying hardware innovation.
StorONE’s new pricing model rewards the use of the highest-density flash and hard-disk drive up-front and in the future. Customers can upgrade to newer, higher-density options, without data migration and without paying additional software license fees.
StorONE’s Storage Engine is a complete rewrite of storage I/O, auto-tiering, and erasure coding, enabling customers to enjoy the benefits of modern flash and hard disk drive densities without risking data or performance. The advanced I/O engine power StorONE’s immutable snapshot technology, enabling customers to protect against and recover from ransomware attacks. StorONE’s new pricing model encourages using the highest-density drives and upgrades as newer higher-density options are available, without data migration and without paying additional software license fees.
