AWS has been the most experienced, reliable and compliant public cloud, as shown by their >40% market share and exponential growth since its inception in 2006. It's also well known that companies both large and small depend on 24/7 access to their data and a crucial need for a backup solution that can be accessed quickly and reliably. No matter what your vertical is - financial, healthcare, mobile, IT, transport, media -the risk of even seconds of downtime is too just large to gamble with. Organizations need to be prepared for potential data breaches, ransomware, errors, bugs and weather-related disasters. The consequences can be dire and can be anything from shutting down entire global transport systems to a ransomware attack costing millions of dollars and chaos..

For joint Datadog/N2WS and Splunk/N2WS customers, integration is now officially available, providing acustomizable and visual collection of all the data they chooseto see is now accessible without even logging into N2WS. Market response has been overwhelmingly positive as joint customers share their stories for saving time, greater transparency and simplifying their processes. https: //www.datadoghq.com/
Many DLM enhancements were made in 2020 including the ability to storeindependent volumes to any Amazon S3 tier. Worker instances created in the archiving process have been optimized ensuringfaster transfer of EBS snapshots to S3. Finally with N2WS ZeroEBS™ feature customers can choose to activate a AWS backup and copy their snapshots directly to S3. With these enhancements, customers not only save up to 90% in storage costs, they can also increase frequency of transfer for backups.
Users can now automate their required disaster recovery drills every week/month and ensure that all associated parameters are correct. This is a huge time save and added security measure.
File Level Recovery is one of N2WS most beloved capabilities, hailed by many customers as their biggest time save. Users can now recover asingle file from their S3 repository, taking even more advantage of colder/cheaper storage tiers.
With NEW EBS usage monitor, users can eliminate guesswork (previously a huge risk for wasted spend or a potential crash) and immediately modify their volumes. New support for AWS FSx adds even more services for all under one console management.
