Cloud file services provider CTERA is partnering Concentric AI with its Semantic Intelligence software. CTERA’s edge filer acts as a cache server for Concentric AI’s data security posture management (DSPM) capabilities. This scans organizations’ data, detects sensitive or business critical content, identifies the most appropriate classification category, and automatically tags the data. It uses AI to improve discovery, classification accuracy and efficiency to avoid endless regex rules and inaccurate end user labeling. DPSM can monitor and autonomously identify risk to financial and other data from inappropriate permissioning, wrong entitlements, risky sharing, and unauthorized access. It can automatically remediate permissions and sharing issues or use other security systems and cloud APIs to continuously protect exposed data.

Data manager and archiver StrongLink has scanned a 1.8 exabyte file.
This was revealed by Jerome Wendt, boss of analyst DCIG, who writes: “Seeing that 1.8EB file store made me realize that managing exabytes of data should no longer seem unbelievable for any size organization. Due to the multiple sources from which any organization may gather data, getting to a single EB no longer seems unattainable. Do not misunderstand me. In no way do I expect some or even most organizations to manage exabytes of data today. However, 20 years ago 10TBs of storage seemed like a lot. Now I have nearly that amount (if not more) installed in the computers in my home. As such, it is probably not that farfetched to believe in another 20 years that we may each have 10EBs of storage in our home office.” Wendt is joining StrongLink for a webinar on March 15, at 12 noon EDT, on intelligent data management.

Cloud computing and disaster recovery specialist, virtualDCS, is partnering Seagate with a new Lyve offering: CloudCover Shuttle at virtual DCS. The physical data transfer shuttle enables businesses to move their data quickly, securely, and simply from endpoints to the edge and to the landing destination of the data – be it private, public, or hybrid clouds. The shuttle offers a range of storage capacities and is delivered promptly, as well as being securely encrypted and tracked while it is being transported, we’re told. Once the shuttle is returned, it will then undergo a full crypto-erase.
The ability for an organization to fully restore and move data back to its own systems after a DR event can take time with networked data transfer. A few terabytes can be restored relatively quickly, but larger datasets can take days, weeks, or even months and will completely saturate networks and internet bandwidth. The shuttle gets loaded up with data to be repatriated and is then physically transported to the destination site.
