Data immutability keeps growing in popularity as an ally to ensure data security, regulatory compliance and data recovery. As cyber threats keep on the rise, data security and disaster recovery planning has become indispensable for business continuity; and immutable data gain relevance on this matter. What is data immutability? As defined in the Cambridge Dictionary,
Many pioneers of computer science did not probably imagine how far computer programming would arrive. However, it is to a large extent thanks to their contributions that computer programming and automation has gone a long way over the past centuries. Here is a list of some of the pioneers of computer science from the 18th
Supercomputing is a type of high-performance computing that uses computers with high computational capabilities (supercomputers) to process complex calculations and large volumes of data. Supercomputers are made up of more than one CPU, interconnects, I/O systems, memory and processor cores. Performance and parallel processing Supercomputing performance is measured in floating-point operations per second: FLOPS. The
A man in the middle attack is a security attack during which an attacker enters a communication between two parties undetected, redirecting data to pass through a node he controls. It is a type of session hijacking. Let’s deep into what a man in the middle attack is as well as into how to prevent
Let’s assess the benefits of private cloud in 3 different sectors. Many companies can benefit from private cloud features and advantages, regardless of their size and industry. In this post, we have collected 3 customer success stories that have chosen the private cloud as their infrastructure solution. Private cloud for B2B software Gesio® is an
The world’s most powerful supercomputers use Linux. A supercomputer is a device whose computing capabilities are by far higher than those of common computers. The most powerful supercomputer nowadays exceeds 1,190 Petaflops (PFlops). This is a performance no personal device can achieve. Besides, it is worth mentioning that Linux has dominated the list of the
Both backup and data retention are types of data preservation, but they do so for different purposes. While backup retention focuses on storing data for recovery in case of data corruption, system failures or other contingencies, data retention focuses on preserving data during a specific period of time in order to meet particular business or
