Spectra Logic unveils Vail hybrid cloud storage virtualisation
Summary
In addition, Spectra Logic is making a big deal of security with the claim that its products are “attack hardened”. In particular, it has in mind the threat of ransomware, of which it was a victim last year but successfully evaded paying the criminals’ demands. Concretely, this means Vail provides encryption down to single object level, including databases, endpoints that are hidden behind firewalls, object locking, multisite placement of data and automated migration of data to air-gapped tape repositories. David Feller, vice-president of product management and solutions engineering at Spectra, cited customers that are beta testing Vail with all three major public clouds at up to around 1,000 physical sites. Vail users can, for example, set certain classes of data to be migrated to the cloud, processed – by AWS transcoding and face recognition for media workflows, for example – and moved to other locations.
