It stated what I think most of already know, that something like 50% of small and midsize businesses (SMB) don’t have a disaster plan. This is a terrible state of affairs, and I applaud Symantec for highlighting the issue with the report.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/backup-not-disaster-preparedness/) [10 August 2011 — 1 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 3: It’s Not a DR Plan If You Don’t Test It](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/30ed349a67c19cf8c26685d868f90f47.png) It’s Not a DR Plan If You Don’t Test It There’s a fine story by Jacob Gsoedl over at SearchDisasterRecovery.com called, “Disaster recovery in the cloud explained” that makes for good reading.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/its-not-dr-plan-if-you-dont-test-it/) [04 August 2011 — 1 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 4: Real Cloud Disaster Recovery & Beyond](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/e44479aa9902652a121944102811a7bd.png) Real Cloud Disaster Recovery & Beyond There’s a good piece over at TechTarget today about disaster recovery in the cloud, a subject near and dear to our hearts at nScaled.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/real-cloud-disaster-recovery-beyond/) [27 July 2011 — 1 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 5: Everyday Disasters](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/18a373b02d45b7c3ed01a5efacfff718.png) Why Our Partners Love the Cloud We recently held our latest Partner Training Program event here at nScaled headquarters in San Francisco.

At nScaled, we talk to a lot of businesses about backup. Backup-as-a-service is one of the solutions we provide through our hybrid cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS). Customers have a lot to say about their current backup solutions, and not much of it is positive. We’ve tried to provide a backup solution that solves the problems that they cite.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/whats-wrong-backup/) [15 July 2011 — 3 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 7: Low Risk Adoption of the Cloud, part 4: Selecting an Enterprise Grade Cloud Provider](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/74dd033305077b8ad219667201379601.png) Low Risk Adoption of the Cloud, part 4: Selecting an Enterprise Grade Cloud Provider Our fourth and final installment on the subject of Low Risk Adoption of Cloud Infrastructure for Enterprises](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/low-risk-adoption-cloud-part-4-selecting-enterprise-grade-cloud-provider/) [11 July 2011 — 1 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 8: nScaled keeps growing in the UK](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/701297a7531d17743bf6f7c5f50e97c8.png) nScaled keeps growing in the UK We are pleased to announce the appointment of Duncan Appleby as our new Sales Engineer, EMEA.

Gartner’s name for the product category we’re in is “cloud infrastructure-as-a-service”. By now, most people are beginning to understand the differences amongst IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. A terrific illustration of the differences is here. But it’s not so simple (it rarely is, is it?). Because what we provide to our customers is definitely more than IaaS. Here are some examples: Hybrid architecture. When you think IaaS, you think either Public or Private cloud, and the marketing battle between proponents of the two models. Our attitude is that the only cloud model that actually makes sense for businesses is the hybrid model, combining on-premises appliances with on-demand cloud data centers. In our architecture, those two components behave like one single seamless cloud environment, all of it “inside the firewall”, all of it managed in a single console… Cloud Console. Our proprietary SaaS application gives our customers a web-based admin interface to configure, manage, analyze and report on their entire nScaled cloud environment. Tasks like recovering a lost file, or booting and failing-over to a continuity (disaster recovery) server require one click, as opposed to15 or 20 manual steps. It’s not a rebranded or warmed over interface from another vendor. It’s software that makes nScaled simple to manage and secure. Assurances. The image that public cloud has, especially after some recently publicized outages, is one of lack of reliability. The operating principle is, “You get what you pay for.” But nScaled goes way beyond this kind of cheap, commodity, caveat emptor approach. When we deploy customers, we test and certify all continuity servers that the customer sets up, assuring that they will work when called upon to do so. We also offer a strong services agreement that makes nScaled truly accountable to our customers. In short, saying that nScaled is an IaaS vendor is true, and a useful quick categorization, but it leaves out a lot of the nuance that makes our solutions different, and, we think, better.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/more-iaas/) [30 June 2011 — 3 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 11: New nScaled white paper: enterprise cloud adoption and migration](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/a96a8eeca15ee795c5833fdfc0bebe12.png) Low Risk Adoption of the Cloud: The Drivers I’m following up on last week’s post about our new white paper, Low Risk Adoption of Cloud Infrastructure for Enterprises.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/low-risk-adoption-cloud-drivers/) [21 June 2011 — 2 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 12: New nScaled white paper: enterprise cloud adoption and migration](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/a96a8eeca15ee795c5833fdfc0bebe12.png) New nScaled white paper: enterprise cloud adoption and migration We’ve just released a new white paper, Low Risk Adoption of Cloud Infrastructure for Enterprises.

Natural disasters come to mind – tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods.
