Gravic Publishes Article on Following the 3-2-1-1 Rule
to Protect Mission-Critical Data

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. The piece addresses the growing need for robust, layered data protection strategies as ransomware and malware evolve into existential threats for enterprises.

Cybercrime Magazine projects global damages from cybercrime will climb from $9.5 trillion USD in 2024 to $10.5 trillion in 2025, underscoring the urgent need for enterprises to safeguard mission-critical systems. The article highlights the 3-2-1-1 best practice:

• 3 copies of your data
• on 2 different media
• with 1 air-gapped copy
• and 1 immutable (or offsite) copy

This strategy ensures organizations can quickly recover from ransomware attacks or other cyber incidents.The article also explores emerging regulations, such as the European Union’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), which are driving enterprises to adopt modern digital resilience strategies. Similar initiatives are being introduced worldwide, signaling that robust data protection is no longer optional, but a necessity for compliance and continuity.Want to learn more about how HPE Shadowbase solutions support these requirements?

Gravic Highlights Shadowbase Innovations and Community Connections at HPE NonStop TBC 2025

This year’s NonStop Technology & Business Conference (TBC 2025) was a fantastic experience, filled with innovations, community, and great enegry. We were excited to showcase new HPE Shadowbase advancements, highlight real-world customer success stories, and connect with so many of you throughout the week.

Monday
Our team settled in and prepared our booth for the week ahead, complete with our Shadowbase lightbox display. It was great to reconnect with colleagues and get ready for the sessions to come.

Tuesday
The day began with inspiring keynotes: Kristi Elizondo (Connect Worldwide CEO), Mark Pollans (HPE), Casey Taylor (HPE), and Neil Davis (HPE) each shared updates on where the NonStop platform is heading.

Later, Kenneth Scudder (Gravic) presented Ensuring High Availability and Digital Resilience in a Ransomware World, detailing how HPE Shadowbase protects mission-critical data against modern threats. Another highlight was New to NonStop: Join Us! hosted by Paden Holenstein (Gravic) and Vedant Shrivastava (Idelji), which provided mentorship and resources for newcomers to the NonStop community.

One of our proudest moments came when we inducted FIS into the Shadowbase Hall of Fame for “30 Years of Sustained Excellence with Shadowbase Software.”

Wednesday
Amy Sochipun Vajropala (CEO, DataOne Asia, Thailand) presented Resilience Redefined, sharing how Thailand’s banking sector leverages Shadowbase and BASE24-eps to deliver nonstop reliability in digital payments.

Later, Paden Holenstein presented Unleash the Power of Your Trapped Data, showing how organizations can harness the cloud, integrate AI, and unlock innovation across the enterprise.

That evening, the NonStop Rodeo brought plenty of fun, boots, hats, and mechanical bulls included!

Thursday
The conference wrapped with two sessions. Swati Singh (HPE) and Paden Holenstein co-presented Business Continuity Without Compromise, which emphasized new strategies for uninterrupted access and ransomware recovery. Finally, Keith Moore (HPE) and Paul Holenstein (Gravic) delivered Data Consistency You Can Count On: Why TMF Matters, closing out the Shadowbase sessions on a strong note.
