With 81 percent of employees bringing personal devices into the workplace, it is no secret that the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) phenomenon has set up shop in the corner office of the enterprise. And, with 60 percent of physicians using their mobile phone in the workplace on a daily basis, BYOD has clearly already checked itself into the healthcare industry, as well.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/whats-your-byod-prescription/)

The article outlined the government's alleged monitoring of communications at the largest Internet providers (seemingly with the help of these providers). This list of Internet providers includes Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, PalTalk, YouTube, Skype, AOL, and Apple. Now, I want to point out that these are all allegations and that none of this has been verified yet. However, it certainly raises a lot of questions. I wanted to hone in one of the areas that I took note of. There was a mention in this report of other providers the government wanted to monitor, including Dropbox. This again exposes some of the risks that are faced not only by consumers using Dropbox (and similar services) but also the exposure that enterprises and enterprise users face when using these types of services. Many enterprises turn a blind eye towards a lot of this use but it represents a serious risk and raises many questions:](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/prism-exposes-enterprise-risks/)

For example, doing hourly backups will ensure that you can always recover to a state that is no later than an hour before a disaster. This is usually referred to as “one hour RPO.” But this is not enough. What if you need a file that was deleted a month ago? One-hour-old backup will not help: You need at least a month-old backup, or a year-old backup.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/what-rpo-really-means/)

Mobility Goes Global, MobileIron and Other Good Stuff! We’ve had a couple of busy weeks in mobility. We had two regional launches of mobilEcho and activEcho – one in Munich, Germany and the other one in Tokyo, Japan. Both of these speak to the global nature of the customer problems we are trying to solve with our mobilEcho and activEcho solutions – how do mobile workers safely access corporate content on their mobile devices, how do employees securely share and collaborate and files, and how do they get access to all their files across all their devices? This is what we do! Said more simply, we provide every time, everywhere access, sharing and syncing of the critical data that drives your enterprise. And, like I said, these are universal problems that cut across almost all vertical markets and job roles.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/no-rest-wicked-mobility-goes-global-mobileiron-and-other-good-stuff/)

Hybrid is Your Answer Many would agree that two copies are better than one. But redundancy has its cost, too. And then you have management overheads for two backup destinations and uncertainty of your recovery success rate with tape, disk or cloud. Sounds like a puzzle to solve. The key to efficient backup strategy with guaranteed outcome is to clearly define which goal you meet with each type of backup, and combine the two in the right way. Hybrid is not just about two copies, software vendors or service providers. It’s about making a smart – and budget-friendly – decision about your entire backup and recovery plan.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/think-twice-local-backup-or-cloud-hybrid-your-answer/)

[01 April 2013 — 2 min read ![Image 13: Incredible Innovation at Acronis](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/bd62a55daae50fdec0d6a6b238034607.png) Incredible Innovation at Acronis Usually, I do not write about technology. I much prefer to speak about the application of technology to solve problems. But, let me start April by telling a story about an amazing technological innovation here at Acronis.Our chief engineer, Sam Stolichnaya, was working hard at improving our deduplication technology. For years, he had been working on a recursive compression technology where you could compress files, and then compress that, and again and again until you had a result thousands of times smaller than the original. While this worked very well, it used up a lot of memory, so it was not a good general solution. Dedupe could be.Acronis already supplies a dedupe module that seamlessly installs into our platform and saves storage by finding duplicate information and only storing it once. Anyway, Sam and another engineer, Peter Pshenichnaya, were discussing the size of the data block. Should we dedupe by file or by disk block, for example? All of a sudden, Sam sees the light bulb over his head start blinking and he realizes that since all data is either a zero or a one, we can dedupe everything to a 0,1. In fact, we will not even need to store the result since almost everyone could remember 0,1.M. Dupont, our president of sales, explains the value of this as astronomical in nature. And the 0,1 result is not dependent on the amount or type of data being stored. With Sam and Peter’s solution, there is a complete independence from data type or amount. We hope to see the sale of dedupe look like a hockey stick graph. He explains: “This is just one of those great ideas that is so obvious when you hear it explained, you cannot believe no one had thought of it before.” It is in a class with the invention of the button or the hammer or the candle.Acronis is quickly bringing this technology to market. In fact, all of you can already back up your data, as long as you can remember the numbers 0 and 1. All of your data is zeros and ones, and there it dedupes to 0,1. Unfortunately, we have a slight delay in the release of the recovery portion of this software, but it should ship sometime this year. So you can start backing up now, and as long as you have no disasters or mistakes for a while, you can be sure you data is safe.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/incredible-innovation-acronis/)
