Combined cloud-first data protection and
business class disaster recovery lessen risk and increase
choice
N-able, Inc. (NYSE: NABL), the solutions partner helping IT
services providers deliver security, data protection as-a-service,
and remote monitoring and management services, today announced it
has added a Standby Image feature as part of the company’s recently
launched Cove Data Protection™ solution. With this announcement,
N-able delivers on the promise of cloud-first data protection
as-a-service combined with business-class disaster recovery, by
making it easy to create, manage, and report on virtual server
images in the partner’s location of choice, ready for fast and
flexible disaster recovery, without an expensive proprietary
appliance.
Historically, IT services providers believed they needed
traditional image backup or expensive backup appliances to provide
the full range of disaster recovery as-a-service (DRaaS) options.
The costs and inefficiencies of traditional products were accepted
as the price of robust disaster recovery. The introduction of
Standby Image offers a new approach, with Cove combining a
cost-effective, cloud-first architecture with comprehensive DRaaS.
This update complements the existing fully automated and hosted
Recovery Testing feature.
Ransomware is one of the most popular methods used by hackers
and malicious actors. According to The Verizon 2022 Data Breach
Investigations Report, in 2021 ransomware increased by 13 percent,
representing a jump greater than the past five years combined. Its
lucrative nature has incentivized bad actors to expand the scope of
their attacks, including the introduction of new variants designed
specifically to encrypt or delete backup data stored on the local
network, destroying organizations’ last line of defense and further
incentivizing payment.
Cloud-first backup eliminates the attack vectors at the local
level, helping to minimize risk. In addition, while hardware
failures and natural disasters call for fast failover, in a
cyberattack such as ransomware, instant recovery can do more harm
than good, potentially re-introducing malware onto the network.
With the addition of Standby Image, Cove equips users for either
scenario by creating a safe replica of each backup, ready for fast
on-demand recovery in a secondary location.
“Cove Data Protection's Standby Image feature is the most
flexible solution we have used,” said Chad Grahek, president of
Grahek Technology. “Since Cove is cloud-first, the recovery
appliance does not have to be on the same network, so we can use an
easy-to-manage hardware configuration that works for each customer.
Compared to other solutions that store backups onsite first – this
is less complex, works faster, and we can be sure that the backup
is always in sync from one dashboard.”
“The introduction of Standby Image is the latest example of
Cove’s strategy to deliver meaningful business outcomes while
delighting our partners with unexpected simplicity,” stated Chris
Groot, general manager, Cove Data Protection, N-able. “The ability
to provide robust, business-class disaster recovery without the
administrative and cost burdens of traditional image backup
products will make a meaningful difference to our partners and
their customers.”
