Webinar on Data Protection Infrastructure for 'Mission-Critical Systems in the Ransomware Era'

## Increasingly Complex IT Environments and Mission-Critical Systems That Cannot Be Stopped

In recent years, corporate IT infrastructure has become increasingly complex due to the widespread adoption of server virtualization and the diversification of system configurations. Additionally, the growing sophistication of ransomware attacks and unexpected hardware failures have significantly increased the impact of system downtime and data loss on business continuity.

Data supporting mission-critical and important systems are essential assets for continuing business activities. Therefore, it is important not only to have a mechanism to reliably back up data and restore it to the required point in time, but also to increase the availability of the data protection infrastructure itself.

## You Have Backups, But Can You Call It 'Peace of Mind'?

Many companies take backups to prepare for the loss of mission-critical systems or important data. However, the presence of backups does not guarantee they can be reliably restored when needed.

For example, as the number of servers on virtualization platforms and business applications increases, understanding backup targets and managing configurations become complex, often leading to recovery procedures that depend on specific individuals. Furthermore, in ransomware countermeasures, it is necessary to check backup data for infection before restoration, which risks delaying business resumption if judgment is slow.

Another often overlooked factor is the risk of the infrastructure supporting backup/recovery itself stopping. If a hardware failure occurs during backup or recovery, it can affect data protection and business resumption. The more complex the configuration, the longer it takes to respond to failures and diagnose causes, potentially prolonging business impact or leading to unsuccessful recovery.

## Data Protection and Recovery Infrastructure Realized by Integrated Backup × Fault-Tolerant Servers

In this seminar, we will explain the thinking behind data protection infrastructure to reliably safeguard corporate data assets in preparation for the risks of data loss and system downtime caused by ransomware or system failures.

We will introduce how to protect important data from both backup/recovery and hardware-level fault tolerance by combining "Veeam," which realizes integrated backup, with "Stratus ztC Endurance," a fault-tolerant server from Penguin Solutions (formerly Stratus Technology Japan).

We will share how to achieve a mechanism to protect distributed data comprehensively and reliably restore it to the required point, as well as high availability that does not stop the data protection infrastructure itself. We will discuss points to enhance data protection, recovery, and business continuity while minimizing operational load.

## Recommended for

- Those who feel challenged by the risk of downtime or data loss in mission-critical or important systems.
- Those who want to review their data protection infrastructure in preparation for ransomware or hardware failures.
- Those who have backups but are anxious about whether they can be reliably restored in an emergency.
- Those who want to integrate and streamline backup operations across multiple environments such as virtualization platforms, physical servers, and business applications.
- Those who want to improve the availability of their data protection infrastructure itself.
- Those who want to enhance the level of data protection, recovery, and business continuity with a simple configuration.
