Eliminate Storage Drama with IBM FlashSystem and Northdoor

Don’t let data disasters create drama in your organisation. IBM FlashSystem storage, delivered by Northdoor, offers enterprise-grade protection with industry-leading performance and cyber resilience.

The business impact of storage drama

For IT decision-makers and infrastructure leaders, storage drama manifests as:

  • Ransomware attacks that paralyse operations

The #NoDrama Framework: Protect, Detect, Recover, Thrive

IBM Storage FlashSystem Protect

Protect

When work feels calm, but chaos lurks, IBM Storage FlashSystem keeps your data protected.

1. Ensure a Clean Recovery Point (RPO)
Traditional data protection methods often fall short in delivering true operational resilience:
– Simple replication risks propagating corrupted data, compounding issues during recovery.
– Backups, frequently a target in attacks, are destroyed 57% of the time, leaving organisations vulnerable and without a reliable recovery option.

2. Leverage FlashSystem Immutability:
IBM Safeguarded Snapshots create a logically air-gapped, tamper-proof recovery point. These snapshots cannot be altered or deleted, ensuring a secure and reliable foundation for recovery.

3. Quantum-Safe Encryption
Reduce the risk of data loss with advanced encryption, paired with certified deletion capabilities for enhanced security and compliance.

Detect IBM Storage FlashSystem

Detect

Ensure you’re alert and ready for any threats with IBM Storage FlashSystem.

1. Minimise data and system corruption. Detect threats and intrusions early to limit damage and disruption. Early detection reduces the financial and operational impact of breaches, helping businesses recover faster and more effectively.

2 .Leverage IBM FlashCore module 4: Gain detailed ransomware insights by collecting and analyzing statistics from every I/O operation—delivered seamlessly with zero performance impact.

3. Harness Cloud-Based AI for Advanced Threat Detection: IBM Insights PRO detects ransomware in under a minute, using AI trained on real-world threats.
