Gravic Highlights the Importance of the 3-2-1-1 Rule and the Growing Excitement Surrounding TBC

Gravic Highlights the Importance of the 3-2-1-1 Rule and the Growing Excitement Surrounding TBC   

Gravic recently published the article: Follow the 3-2-1-1 Rule to Protect Your Mission-Critical Data from Ransomware in the July-August issue of The Connection. Within the article, the importance of implementing the 3-2-1-1 rule to protect your mission-critical data is denoted. With Malware and Ransomware growing into existential threats, the 3-2-1-1 best rule has evolved as a best practice to help companies achieve comprehensive, multi-layered data protection.

Data and cyber security experts alike recommend saving at least:

• 3 copies of your data,
• On 2 different storage media,
• 1 copy being air-gapped,
• And 1 copy being immutable (or offsite)

As governments and regulators react to increasing cyber threats and the rising dependence on digital infrastructure, policies pertaining to digital resilience are taking shape globally.  A leading example of this regulation is the European Union’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) which took effect in January of 2025, unifying and enforcing strict digital resilience standards for the EU financial section and related 3^rd-party Information Communication Technology (ICT) providers to ensure organizations can recover from cyber-attacks and other ICT disruptions. DORA may be one of the first regulations of its kind, but many countries and regions are proposing and creating similar laws.

TBC is Right Around the Corner and Gravic Can’t Wait

Coming up on September 15-18, Gravic is looking ahead at the HPE Nonstop Technology & Business Conference 2025!

Come join us at our many sessions for the inside scoop on:

1. Shadowbase Training Class
   1. This session explores strategies to enhance system reliability and integration by using HPE Shadowbase. Participants will learn to eliminate both unplanned and planned downtime, validate data integrity, and integrate applications across platforms using tools like ETL TOOLKIT and Kafka. Through practical sessions and demonstrations, the course equips participants with the skills to help ensure business continuity.
2. New to Nonstop: Join us!
   1. New to Nonstop is a community initiative that supports the growth and development of those new to Nonstop, across our whole ecosystem including partners and customers. The user group will focus on empowering the next generation of talent to give them easy access to resources, mentorship and community they need to thrive in a career in Nonstop.
3. Don’t Pay the Ransom! Protect and Recover Your Business-Critical Data
   1. Malware and ransomware threats are growing rapidly, as a result, data reliability and recovery are urgent business concerns. Governments worldwide are enacting Digital Resilience-related regulations, such as the EU’s DORA, with which companies must comply or face severe penalties.
   2. Join us to learn about the following topics:
      1. HPE Digital Resilience Framework and the solution building blocks that help protect and recover mission critical HPE Nonstop server data.
      2. New Business Continuity architectures and high availability capabilities specifically designed to address cybersecurity threats.
      3. Advanced HPE Shadowbase functionality that supports the emerging Digital Resilience requirements for immutable storage, air-gapped isolation, data validation, data quarantining, and database roll-forward and rollback.
      4. An architectural demo of an air-gapped, rapid recovery Nonstop system.

4. HPE Shadowbase: Ensuring High Availability and Digital Resilience in a Ransomware World
   1. In today’s mission-critical environments, achieving true high availability demands robust data replication, seamless data integration, and rigorous data validation. These pillars ensure that businesses can maintain continuous operations and data integrity, even in the face of unexpected disruptions. As the global threat of ransomware escalates, organizations must not only protect their data but also prepare for rapid recovery to minimize downtime and loss. This session will explore the latest advancements in ransomware data recovery and digital resilience, highlighting innovative solutions tailored for HPE Nonstop systems. Attendees will gain insights into building a resilient infrastructure that safeguards business continuity against evolving cyber threats.
5. Data Persistence Overview: from ACID to BASE and Back Again – Why TMF Matters.
   1. This potential session discusses the multitude of software perspectives on how to store data into a file system. Over the decades of computing since the mid-20th century, operating systems, software techniques, libraries, and research have evolved to support speed, consistency, and an open perspective for all data at rest and retrieval. The importance of transactional integrity is essential for most Nonstop use cases. This perspective and others will be contrasted and mapped into alternatives that provide very broad set of options to support persistence in modern application design. Real world use cases and examples will be shared for broader consideration after the session.

Don’t forget to stop by our booth, D5, as well.  We look forward to seeing you in the Woodlands!
