Firefly Unveils Cloud Resilience Platform to Guard Against Outages - 📅 - Firefly AI is targeting one of cloud computing's most persistent weak spots: the gap between backing up data and being able to bring critical systems back online when a cloud platform fails. The company has introduced a new Cloud Resilience Posture Management, or CRPM, solution that it says makes resilience measurable, automated, and continuous.
Rather than asking only whether data is backed up somewhere, CRPM evaluates whether the infrastructure, configurations, and dependencies needed to run that data can be rebuilt fast enough to meet business expectations during an outage.
The launch follows high-profile incidents in which both AWS and Microsoft Azure suffered major disruptions, [...]

How to Judge Data Center Redundancy When Choosing Colocation - 📅 - As enterprises shift more mission-critical workloads into colocation and hybrid architectures, redundancy has evolved from a facility-design consideration into a core element of business continuity strategy. The widespread intolerance for service interruptions has compressed the maximum tolerable period of disruption for many organizations, creating an environment where even seconds of downtime can affect revenue, compliance, and customer trust.Redundancy, at its simplest, is the duplication of critical infrastructure components - power, cooling, and network systems - to ensure that operations continue seamlessly if any one part fails. Yet the simplicity of the definition belies the [...]
