RTO in Disaster Recovery: What It Is and How to Set It

When a system goes down, every minute offline costs you revenue, customer trust, and operational stability. The recovery time objective (RTO) defines exactly how long your organization can tolerate that downtime. It should be determined before anything breaks because it drives every infrastructure, staffing, and tooling decision in your disaster recovery plan.

The Most Targeted Industries: What DevOps Teams Can Learn from Recent Incidents

Which industries are attracting the most attention from cybercriminals today? According to the DevOps Threats Unwrapped Report 2026, Technology and Software organizations remained the most targeted sector. This finding is consistent with our previous research in the 2024 CISO’s Guide to DevOps Threats, showing that attackers continue to focus heavily on organizations that build, manage, and distribute software. What changed, however, was the composition of the industries that followed close behind.

Keeping Kiwis safe online: Tackling New Zealand's email security challenges

New Zealanders are feeling the pain of more frequent and effective cyberattacks. While knowing how to avoid attacks is important, it’s not enough to prevent damage. Consumers, businesses and service providers all need to do more to ensure safe email communications. Numbers tell the story.

The hidden cost of Git repository bloat

Git repository growth often looks harmless at first. A few large assets, generated files, dependency folders, old branches, release archives, test datasets, or binary files may not cause immediate problems. Developers can still commit, pipelines still run, and the repository appears manageable. Over time, however, unnecessary data accumulates in Git history and becomes a backup and recovery challenge.

Acronis named a Champion in the Omdia Cybersecurity MSP Ecosystems Leadership Matrix 2026

VMware ESXi Networking Concepts

For connecting physical servers and computers to a network, you need physical network adapters, switches, and routers. With virtual machines, virtual network concepts are used for communication between the different components of an infrastructure. The proper configuration of ESXi networking on a host is critically important to the configuration of any ESXi environment. Generally, ESXi host networks include storage, vMotion, VM, and management networks.

What is Data Residency? A Clear Guide for IT Teams

Every piece of data your organization stores lives in a specific server, facility, and country. Data residency refers to where that data physically sits, and governments increasingly care about the answer. The EU, India, Brazil, and dozens of other jurisdictions now enforce strict rules about storage locations. Get it wrong, and you’re looking at regulatory fines, lost contracts, or both.

CloudCasa DR for HPE Alletra with Red Hat OpenShift - PART 2: Failback

CloudCasa completes the disaster recovery cycle by failing a file server application back from Site B (HPE Alletra MP B10000) to its original primary on Site A (HPE Alletra 9060), both running Red Hat OpenShift. In this demo, we create a reverse DR plan, scale down the workload for a clean shutdown, and let CloudCasa orchestrate the two-phase failback: an HPE recover/restore operation that reverses replication at the storage layer, followed by progressive Kubernetes resource restoration, before the file server comes back online on Site A with its data intact.

CloudCasa DR for HPE Alletra with Red Hat OpenShift - PART 1: Failover

CloudCasa orchestrates disaster recovery failover for stateful workloads across two HPE Alletra arrays running Red Hat OpenShift. In this demo, we fail over a file server application from Site A (HPE Alletra 9060) to Site B (HPE Alletra MP B10000), with CloudCasa installing its agent via a single kubectl apply, discovering both clusters and storage systems, mapping the pre-configured HPE replication relationship, and triggering consistency group failover so the workload comes back up on Site B with all data intact.
