IT Teams Must Learn New Skills to Manage Mobility
Data protection is a challenge for many IT teams to handle these days because companies have more devices, operating systems and plans than they can keep up with. The majority of IT gurus specialize in handling PCs and servers, but new technologies like tablets, smartphones and even smartwatches require a new set of IT skills to ensure enterprise data is secure and understandable.

For Finance, Is Big Data a Big Headache or a Big Opportunity?
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.

Highland Bank: “Your money (and data, applications, services) are safe with us!”

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.

City Governments Turn to the Cloud for Data Recovery
More U.S. cities are striving to improve their outdated IT operations — an effort that could save these local governments time and money. 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.

3 Tips for Banks to Mitigate BYOD Risks
Banks collect and store mountains of data about transactions, customer accounts and trades, and the majority of that data is highly sensitive. Last December when Barclays failed to properly back up electronic records, emails and instant messages, it faced a $3.75M fine. A failure to back up financial data violates U.S. regulations and has a severe impact on a company’s reputation and database.
