6 Critical Reasons for Office 365 Backup

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 08:20:01 -0700

Do you have control of your Office 365 data? Do you have access to all the items you need? The knee-jerk reaction is typically, “Of course I do,” or Microsoft takes care of it all.” But if you really think about it — are you sure? Microsoft takes care of quite a bit, and provides a great service for their customers. However, Microsoft’s primary focus is on managing the Office 365 infrastructure and maintaining uptime to your users. They are empowering YOU with the responsibility of your data.

The misconception that Microsoft fully backs up your data on your behalf is quite common, and without a shift in mindset, could have damaging repercussions when this responsibility is left unattended. Ultimately, you need to ensure you have access to, and control over, your Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business data. This report explores the hazards of not having an Office 365 backup in your arsenal, and why backup solutions for Microsoft Office 365 fill the gap of long-term retention and data protection.

A 4-TIER APPROACH TO MODERN DATA PROTECTION

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 08:20:01 -0700

Data protection is changing. Today backup software can recover in-place, instantiating volumes directly on the backup storage which enables organizations to significantly reduce recovery windows. Consequently, the performance of the backup storage hardware matters more than ever. At the same time backup software can scale to manage petabytes of stored backup data, so keeping the hardware costs associated with storing this data in check is also critical. Finally, new compliance regulations mean that data within backups must meet both retention requirements and new data privacy demands. Software applications like the Veeam vailability Platform provide the capabilities for organizations to meet all of these requirements. The challenge for organizations is to update the hardware components within their data protection architecture so that the software can meet its fullest potential.

BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE DASHBOARD AUGMENTED WITH ARRIA NLG

Tue, 12 May 2020 09:50:01 -0700

IN THIS DIGITAL AGE, electronic data is a more important source of information than our own senses to understand the happenings around us. For example, our senses have limited use in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we seek timely and accurate data to understand the behavior of the outbreak because each of us realizes the importance of this data for our own individual survival. However, raw data on its own is no good because we lack either the necessary data skills or the necessary time to manually inspect every bit of data.

During these extraordinary times we now live in, each one of us seeks technological help. From the robust roots of data models and query languages in the 1970s, data related technologies have come a long way. In 2020, we now have technologies such as data analytics, interactive dashboards, and natural language generation (NLG) that can discover and tell data stories automatically. Because data stories show us the human face of data aligning well with our mental models of the world, these new technologies manage to hide the much-dreaded number crunching away from us.

Very much like traditional stories, well-told data stories are made up of a balanced number of visuals and linguistic descriptions. The linguistic descriptions serve to tie the visuals together into a coherent data story. In this white paper, we describe the technical details of the COVID-19 Live Dashboard which brings together Arria’s NLG technology and TIBCO’s Visual Analytics technology.
