Scality’s vast experience in distributed file systems and object storage has resulted in a new patent that empowers customers to recover from any disaster or ransomware attack with increased precision. The new innovation provides the technical basis for enabling snapshots at massive scale, with the ability to capture billions of files in a single snapshot, leap-frogging the capacity of traditional NAS file systems by orders of magnitude.
Ransomware attacks now occur an average of every 11 seconds globally. Snapshot technology is useful as part of a comprehensive ransomware recovery strategy, especially as large enterprises with massive data capacities are susceptible to these attacks. However, while most snapshot technology works reasonably well at normal levels of capacity and scale, it’s not viable for massive numbers of files and high frequency of snapshots necessary for today and tomorrow’s needs. Scality’s patented snapshot technology enables scale for the new world of billions of files and massive multi-petabyte data requirements. This will enable data management solutions that are more reliable, efficient and easy to use at petabyte scale.
