Accelerate enterprise backup and recovery processes to help retrieve data and recover IT services rapidly with IBM Storage solutions for on-premises and cloud workloads. 

IBM Storage solutions for backup and recovery unifies workload protection, delivers cybersecurity capabilities to help protect your critical data against ransomware and other data security threats, helps prevent data loss, delivers capabilities to effectively manage your backup copies, and enables cost-effective management of your infrastructure.

Our storage services include workload support for VMware virtual machines, cloud backup, SaaS, on-premises workloads, and operating systems such as Windows®, Mac, Linux, and others. IBM Storage solutions can help you build and deliver the data resilience your organization needs to ensure business continuity.

Protect your data with resilient storage

The IBM FlashSystem® Cyber Vault solution, implemented by IBM Lab Services, is designed to help speed cyberattack detection and recovery, helping to prevent data loss.. It runs continuously, using standard database tools and automation software to monitor snapshots as they are created by Safeguarded Copy. By checking these Safeguarded Copy snapshots for immediate indications of changes or corruption caused by malware or ransomware, IBM FlashSystem® can be a central part of a recovery solution that helps reduce cyberattack recovery time from days to hours.

Case studies Micro Strategies protects client data

Using the IBM Storage portfolio, Micro Strategies created DataVault, a managed security service provider solution that provides ransomware protection and protects critical data against other data loss threats, as well as recover from those cyberattacks.

Data Action reduces response time

With high-performance IBM FlashSystem storage, Data Action hosts its IBM QRadar SIEM solution for increased cybersecurity and data security. The deployment has had a significant impact on the ability of their security operations center (SOC) to analyze cybersecurity threats, helping to protect critical data and improve data resiliency.

Resources Shifting from Cybersecurity to Cyber Resilience

As ransomware continues to spread, impacting small business all the way up to large enterprises, data protection has moved to the top of many organizations’ list of priorities. Explore four key components of IBM’s cyber resilience solution, Cyber Vault, alongside the important role that storage plays in resiliency.

Data Resilience for Enterprise Workloads

IBM Storage Defender can help build data resilience across your enterprise workloads. It includes tools to monitor, protect, and detect ransomware and other cybersecurity threats, as well as automate data backup and data recovery workflows across your primary and secondary storage.

Enhanced Cybersecurity Threat Detection

Learn about how IBM® QRadar® and the Safeguarded Copy feature can quickly detect early security threats. Early detection can strengthen your data protection defenses and can speed recovery of your critical data if a cyberattack occurs, enabling greater data security and data resiliency.
