Infinidat does crazy  live demos

​

Some people think it’s “crazy” to do a live demo of a solution, especially on a webinar that is being live streamed with the whole world watching.  It’s like walking on a tightrope.  It takes courage and commitment to the offerings.  The solution in the spotlight, such as a cyber security capability embedded in software-defined storage to help enterprises fight off cyberattacks more effectively, is put to the test.

But as Eric Herzog, Chief Marketing Officer, Infinidat explains, when a company can validate the claim of a technological wonder it gives customers and partners greater confidence and assurance that a company exceeds the threshold for leading-edge innovation.

“When enterprises say, “Show Me,” Infinidat steps up to the challenge in a live demonstration.  We are more than able to deliver on our promises, such as guaranteed recovery of data in one minute or less on our InfiniBox® G4 and InfiniBox™ SSA G4 solutions amid a cyberattack. Yes, it’s real. On our InfiniGuard® purpose-built-backup appliance, we guarantee cyber recovery in 20 minutes or less.”

“These guarantees are significant because it’s not a question “if” your enterprise will be hit by a cyberattack, it’s a matter of “when” and “how often.”  Infinidat has delivered ransomware protection and malware protection capabilities that are uniquely integrated into the storage infrastructure and across your data centre and works extremely well in a hybrid multi-cloud environment.”

“What better way to show our own confidence in Infinidat’s innovation than to put it to the test when everyone is watching?  Other storage vendors, including the monolithic companies, may not risk demonstrating their products in a “crazy” live demo.  But then again, they don’t have what Infinidat has.  In February of this year, we did a live demo of recovering 200 terabytes (TB) of data – 175,000 files on an InfiniBox in 3 seconds.  I am not kidding.  In another live demo, Infinidat recovered a 20 petabyte (PB) backup repository in under 13 minutes with an InfiniGuard.”

“Using our InfiniSafe® software for cyber resilience, we are able to recover immutable snapshots of the data.  We also guarantee immutability of the data, as well as its recovery time.  InfiniSafe is designed to help you ameliorate cyberattacks.  And we work with all the major backup vendors − Veeam, Commvault, IBM Protect, and Veritas, and many others.”

“In late 2023, we did a live demo and recovered a 20PB Veeam backup repository in 11 minutes and 55 seconds on an InfiniGuard.  In early 2024, we did a live demo and recovered a 20PB Commvault backup repository in 13 minutes.”

“In a livestreamed webinar, we did a live demo of recovering 50,000 1040 P video files – several hundred TB – on an InfiniBox in only 4 seconds.”

“Crazy, right?... but in a good way.  When enterprise IT buyers see the ability to safely and securely recover uncompromised data during a ransomware or malware attack, an epiphany happens.  You can see the results for yourself − in the raw.  You don’t just have to believe in slideware.  You can see it unfold with your own eyes, so there are no surprises. That’s why we are the “Show Me” company, and more enterprises choose Infinidat after seeing a demo than not.”

“You witness exactly what happens, no matter the risk.  Realistically, a live demo could go very wrong for any vendor.  It’s like walking a tightrope between two skyscrapers in New York City, without a net underneath.  But our doing it says something about the quality of the cyber resilience capabilities we give to enterprises to do the same things themselves in the face of cyberattacks.”

“Our incredible InfiniSafe capabilities ensure immutable snapshots and enable logical air gapping that separates the management plane and the data plane.  Then it allows you to create a fenced forensic environment to make sure you are recovering a known clean copy of data – and do it at near-instantaneous recovery speed: one minute or less on the InfiniBox hybrid or the InfiniBox SSA all-flash arrays, and 20 minutes or less on the InfiniGuard.”

“Don’t just take our word on it. Go ahead and come to us shouting from the rooftop “Show Me.”  We’ll do a custom live demo for you.  We invite you to take The Infinidat Cyber Recovery Challenge.  If you give us the opportunity to show you what we can deliver for cyber resilience, you won’t have to walk the tightrope yourself – and you’ll sleep better at night.”

“At Infinidat, we do a live demo in the middle of a cyber security webinar every single quarter.  I want to personally invite you to attend the next one.  In the meantime, while you wait for my next “crazy” live demo, check out some of our past demos here.
