The culprit, a simple software patch, caused the U.S. State Department’s central passport and visa system to crash on July 19. While the data was backed up, the system was not, causing visa processing to grind to a halt during the slow recovery process.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/what-us-consulate-database-crash-teaches-companies-about-data-protection/) [12 August 2014 — 1 min read ![Image 5: City Governments Turn to the Cloud for Data Recovery](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/e44479aa9902652a121944102811a7bd.png) In a BYOx Environment, IT’s Focus Shifts From Devices to Data Data protection, though never simple, used to be a lot easier for IT pros when that data was locked behind a firewall or backed up on tape. But the exponential growth in the amount of data that businesses generate in cloud, virtual, mobile and other environments has made the task harder for IT. According to research from IDC and Acronis, larger data volumes and increased complexity are the two biggest data protection challenges facing SMB IT departments.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/byox-environment-its-focus-shifts-devices-data/) [08 August 2014 — 2 min read ![Image 6: What to Do When Your Cloud Service is Disrupted](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/bd62a55daae50fdec0d6a6b238034607.png) What to Do When Your Cloud Service is Disrupted Every IT pro knows the soul-crushing feeling following the simple statement, “We apologize for the service disruption..." When cloud services that your organization relies on go down, chaos can ensue. Take for instance the Adobe Creative Cloud outage in May that took down the interactive edition of the UK-based newspaper, the Daily Mail.

Cyber attacks, data theft, data loss and security breaches are just a few of the worries that financial firms have to face when it comes to producing and storing their digital data. "The result of any of these could end up costing millions, or even billions of dollars," writes Marc J. Firenze, CTO at Eagle Investment Systems. However, the promise of aggregating this information and using it to improve company systems can be looked at as an opportunity that outweighs the risk.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/finance-big-data-big-headache-or-big-opportunity/) [31 July 2014 — 2 min read ![Image 10: Highland Bank: “Your money (and data, applications, services) are safe with us!”](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/f62a350b7e35dfe1e3dd057a635af90b.png) Highland Bank: “Your money (and data, applications, services) are safe with us!” Everybody knows: it’s better to hear it once from the real customer than thousand times from a vendor. Nobody can tell you better than the actual user how the solution works, how the deployment process went, and what support they are getting. Especially so in DR space: customers don’t like talking about it, as if being (even potentially) associated with a disaster makes them look bad. Only those who really trust their solution, have tested it and know it works, are capable to freely share this information. Some even see it as a competitive advantage – like in case, the statement “Your Money is Safe with Us” goes beyond and above of what it usually implies when coming from a bank with strong, proven DR solution in place. Your data is safe, your applications will be accessible, and our service will be available. In the end of the day, it’s all about peace of mind – for the management, internal users, and their customers.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/highland-bank-your-money-and-data-applications-services-are-safe-us/) [30 July 2014 — 2 min read ![Image 11: If Backup Isn't Easy, It Won't Work: 8 Noble Truths](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/8d171c9d5dce1ca04801e22dc732de75.png) If Backup Isn't Easy, It Won't Work: 8 Noble Truths To help organizations better understand the challenges of backup, disaster recovery and secure access, Acronis has created the "8 Noble Truths" of data protection.

Migrating data from legacy data centers to the latest architectures and tools is a complicated process that can be timely and can result in data loss if not carried out correctly. To simplify the process and save on costs, these government agencies are using the cloud in a backup role, as a resource to absorb any data spikes that can occur and as a disaster recovery unit.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/city-governments-turn-cloud-data-recovery/) [23 July 2014 — 3 min read ![Image 13: When Choosing a Data Protection Technology, Remember: Flexibility Matters](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/30ed349a67c19cf8c26685d868f90f47.png) When Choosing a Data Protection Technology, Remember: Flexibility Matters To help organizations better understand the challenges of backup, disaster recovery and secure access, Acronis has created the "8 Noble Truths" of data protection.
