3-2-1: A Simple Rule for Complex Data Protection
When companies lose data, the ripple effect reaches all the way to the bottom line. For a gargantuan company like Amazon, data loss and its associated downtime could cost more than $65 million per minute. For small and medium businesses, downtime can be equally painful. In a joint study, Acronis and IDC found that 80 percent of SMBs estimate that data recovery costs $20,000 per hour. The remaining 20 percent put that figure at more than $100,000 per hour.  Beyond these initial data recovery costs, companies incur additional costs from lost goodwill and legal fines even after their data is restored. In fact, according to a recent study from IBM into the “hidden costs” of data breaches, having one million compromised records costs an average of nearly $40 million. Additionally, these large-scale breaches take 100 days longer than smaller breaches to detect and contain.

Behind the Scenes in Space: Protecting Extraordinary Amounts of Data
The scale of data backup for corporations and even wedding photographers and music producers can be impressive, but when it comes to sheer amount of data, space programs are in an entirely different galaxy. The Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder Telescope streams 2.8 GB of data every second — which would take nearly two million years to play back on a music player — and the Hubble Space Telescope transmits 120 GB of science data every week — comparable to 3,600 feet of books on a shelf.

Shadow IT: Healthcare Industry Scourge or Opportunity for Growth?
In May this year, two New York City hospitals — New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University Medical Center — were slammed with a whopping $4.8 million fine from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the biggest HIPAA fine in U.S. history. The hospitals were fined for failing to protect patient information under HIPAA privacy laws due to an incident in 2010 when the electronic health data of 6,800 patients were made public on the Internet. According to the HHS investigation, the incident unfolded because a Columbia faculty member attempted to deactivate a personally owned service that was connected to the hospital's network where the patient data resided.

10 Simple Steps to Data Storage Backup
Backing up data may seem like a hassle, but it's important — especially when it comes to recovering data that could otherwise be lost. Thinking about linking a device to a computer or waiting while it syncs with the cloud seems like a productivity killer but, in fact, it could be a productivity saver.

Increased Mac Adoption in the Workplace Forces IT to Support Multiple Platforms
Windows is known as the workplace platform, but Macs are gaining more traction in the enterprise because of widespread BYOD acceptance and other factors. Many companies are addressing this shift by allowing employees to choose between a Mac or PC and offering IT support for both platforms.

Data Governance 'On the Edge' Requires Automatic Solutions
Businesses know that they must protect and back up corporate data, but when that information lives everywhere from company-issued laptops to employee smartphones, the task is easier said than done. As workers increasingly do their jobs from various devices on the go, data backup becomes even more complicated. Today only about one-fifth of corporate data is managed in traditional databases, according to a recent eWeek report. The remaining 80 percent lives in mobile devices.

Sync vs. Backup on a Mac: Why Users Need Both
Whether Mac users are taking photos on their iPhones, setting calendars on their MacBooks or editing video on their iPads, they’re generating valuable data across devices. Between backing up, storing and synching, they have more options than ever for creating and accessing data. But with these opportunities come greater risks for mismanaging data. Deleting a photo from multiple places, for instance, is an easy mistake to make when all devices are synced through iCloud.

Acronis True Image for Mac: Dual Protection Data Backup for Your Mac
