Cove’s approach to cyber resilience and ransomware readiness
includes several levels of innovation, from isolating backup
storage by default, offering automated recovery testing, and
storing immutable copies in the N-able private cloud, to now
expanding customers’ options for disaster recovery.
Standby Image is Cove’s virtualized backup and disaster recovery
(BDR) capability. It works by automatically creating, storing, and
maintaining an up-to-date copy of protected data and system state
in a bootable virtual machine format with each backup. These images
can be stored in Hyper-V, Microsoft Azure, and now also in VMware
ESXi. Standby Image provides the business continuity capabilities
of image and appliance-based BDR products without the
administrative and cost burdens typically associated with those
tools.
In today’s IT environment, not all disaster recovery scenarios
are the same. Cyberattacks call for a different approach than
traditional natural and physical disaster recovery. Cove is a
highly effective tool in the fight against both types of disaster,
but its architecture is especially well-suited for ransomware
resilience. In the event of an attack, both the Cove application
and primary backup storage are off the local network, out of the
reach of malware that may be there. With Cove, business operations
can be quickly restarted in a recovery location, while the proper
steps are taken to contain the ransomware. This is important for
two reasons—it allows normal business operations to continue while
primary systems are down while also allowing businesses to
“preserve the crime scene” for forensic and cyber-insurance
purposes.
“Cove’s architecture and approach is especially strong for cyber
resilience; we go beyond traditional backup products that were
built for the world of physical and natural disasters. While
appliance-based backup solutions have been widely adopted in the
past, they are an unnecessary expense and can be vulnerable to
network-wide attacks,” said Stefan Voss, Vice President of Product
Management at N-able. “With this latest update, Cove users can
create a bootable virtual machine (VM) after every backup in their
choice of multiple recovery environments, now including ESXi. Cove
helps our partners be ready for faster recovery in any type of
emergency, without incurring unnecessary expenses.”
