Posts Tagged ‘ Data Protection ’Virtual Desktop Patching and Data Protection Data Protection and patch management of virtual desktops, while not a sexy topic, is one that should happen on a regular basis within any organization implementing or working to implement virtual desktops. Recently, we have been testing virtual desktop software and there is a huge difference between patching and protecting data in a small number… Cloud Tenant PCI-DSS Dilemma There is a dilemma for all tenants of a public or private cloud: Scope. For the tenant, they want everything to be in scope. For the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) they want to limit scope to the bare minimum. What does it mean for a Cloud to be 'PCI Compliant' and why is this a… SDDC Data Protection One aspect of SDDC that does not get a lot of attention is Data Protection, instead we are concentrating on SDN and automation.

It is also about increasing defense in depth and knowledge of what is touching your storage environment. As well as providing security around those touch points and to a great extent auditing and… Future Proofing Data Protection: Approaching Fast!Quantum recently announced a 'Flexible path to Next Generation Backup and Disaster Recovery', which dovetails nicely with my thoughts on future proofing data protection.
