What does resilience mean?
True resilience in technology is proactive, intelligent, and engineered to withstand the unexpected. Failure is not an option and in the data protection realm, resilience can mean having the unsung hero working behind the scenes to keep the business moving forward.
Resilient data protection means:
- Continuous availability even when hardware or network environments shift.
- Zero-trust architecture that thwarts ransomware before it strikes.
- Automated recovery orchestration that turns chaos into continuity.
- Immutable storage that ensures your backups stay untouched, even when your environment doesn’t.
Traditional backup tools focus on recovery. But resilience goes further. It is about withstanding disruption, not just reacting to it. Enterprise organizations today rely on IBM systems to power their most critical operations, from banking transactions and healthcare records to national infrastructure. These workloads demand more than routine backup. They require mission-grade resilience. Traditional backup and recovery falls short of true resilient data protection because they often don’t always include extensive availability or security measures to keep data safe.
Why resiliency matters…
Today’s data protection demands have changed. Cyber and ransomware attacks are too common in today’s economy. As hybrid cloud adoption accelerates and ransomware threats grow more sophisticated, resilience can’t be an afterthought. It must be designed in through tight integration, immutability, and hybrid cloud readiness. This is where FalconStor StorSafe comes in, to provide resiliency for existing backup and recovery infrastructures, working seamlessly with all major backup and recovery vendors to add this optimized support. StorSafe has tight integration capabilities with IBM Power to offer immutable storage capabilities and more.
FalconStor StorSafe delivers resilience by design. FalconStor leverages replication to provide faster recovery. Disaster recovery capabilities are built right in with replication. Data tampering, modifying and destroying are prevented using offsite or cloud multi data center replication and AES256 encryption for data in motion, and tape exports to immutable IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS). Data privacy leveraging WORM (write once and read many) and AES256 encryption for data at rest and motion ensure data privacy and more. Tight integrations and validated designs, like FalconStor’s deployable architecture with IBM Power and IBM Power with SAP, are testaments to the resilience by design as well.
Resilience isn’t just a goal; it’s a mandate for today. And together with IBM and our global partners, FalconStor is making it possible.
