From an organizational perspective, Gartner<\/span><\/a> says that coupling radical efficiency with innovation to drive business resiliency, growth, and profits requires shrewd investing in digital. That\u2019s because a resilient business delivers better bottom-line results: McKinsey found that from 2020 through 2021, resilient companies generated shareholder returns that were<\/strong> 50 percent<\/span><\/a> higher than those of less resilient peers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And that explains why in today\u2019s world\u2014rife with threats coming at businesses from every direction\u2014data resiliency is the top priority for every IT pro. That\u2019s especially true in complex, multi-cloud environments. A recent independent study of IT decision-makers, commissioned by Arcserve, bears this out, with 83 percent<\/span><\/a> of respondents saying their organization includes data resilience in their strategies.<\/p>\n

If your business relies on multiple clouds, achieving data resiliency starts with ensuring your data is protected everywhere<\/strong>. That\u2019s where immutable storage comes into play.<\/p>\n

What Is Immutable Data Storage?<\/strong>
\nWhen your data is placed in immutable storage, it\u2019s converted into a write-once-read-many-times (WORM) format that can\u2019t be altered or deleted. TechTarget<\/span><\/a> says data stored in an immutable format \u201cwill remain completely static and pristine for its entire existence (and) can never be tampered with, modified, or removed.\u201d That means your immutable stored data is protected against accidental or malicious changes, deletions, or corruption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Immutability Brings Crucial Benefits to Multi-Cloud Environments<\/strong>
\nWith your data backed up in immutable storage, it\u2019s not only protected, but it also helps you meet regulatory requirements and facilitates compliance audits. That\u2019s especially helpful in heavily regulated industries, such as healthcare and finance, where immutable storage offers an audit trail, ensuring transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, your immutable backups ensure you can always restore your data, even if you\u2019re struck by ransomware, a hardware failure, or even a natural disaster. So, how do you leverage immutable storage and achieve data resiliency in multi-cloud environments\u2014without adding more complexity?<\/p>\n

Arcserve UDP: The Multi-Cloud Data Resiliency Solution<\/strong>
\nIn a multi-cloud environment, you need more than cloud data protection. You need unified protection and cyberattack prevention across all of your infrastructure\u2014on-premises, off-premises, and in the cloud<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where Arcserve Unified Data Protection<\/span><\/a> (UDP) is a game-changer, delivering complete IT resiliency for your virtual, physical, and cloud infrastructures and SaaS-based workloads. Arcserve UDP protects against data loss and reduces downtime from days to minutes. The software also validates recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTOs\/RPOs<\/span><\/a>) and service-level agreements (SLAs) and offers automated testing and granular reporting.<\/p>\n

Data protection starts with ransomware prevention. Arcserve delivers on that promise with available Sophos Intercept X Advanced<\/span><\/a> for Server to protect your backup infrastructure from ransomware. At the same time, immutable cloud storage with AWS <\/strong>Object Lock<\/span><\/a> safeguards your data and repels hacker attacks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Scale Easily Across Your Infrastructure<\/strong>
\nWith Arcserve UDP, you can quickly scale hybrid business continuity topologies, locally or over long distances, with multiple sites, including service and cloud providers<\/strong>. And installation is done in a few clicks.<\/p>\n

You can quickly create data stores on the recovery point server, add the nodes you want to protect, a storage destination, and a plan. And it\u2019s easy to perform jobs such as backup, virtual standby, replication, or even a simple restore or a bare metal recovery.<\/p>\n

Arcserve UDP lets you back up to either a local machine or a central recovery point server (RPS) with global, source-side deduplication. A destination can be an RPS, local folder, or remote shared folder. It\u2019s also easy to add network CIFS\/NFS shares, Office 365 Exchange, or SharePoint online nodes and create related tasks.<\/p>\n

Protect SaaS Workloads<\/strong>
\nArcserve UDP fully protects a broad range of platforms, including:<\/p>\n
