A Guide to Easier Recovery with Trusted Immutability
April 13th, 2023
10:00 AM MST
According to a recent report by IDC, 94% of surveyed organizations reported unplanned downtime, while a further 60% experienced unrecoverable data in the past 12 months. Almost half of those that could not recover their backups cited corrupted data due to a cyber-attack as the reason.
That is why creating immutable backups should no longer be just an option, but a must. With malicious actors increasingly targeting backups from both inside and outside your organization’s network, creating an untouchable version of your data becomes vital for business continuity.
Having immutable copies of your backups ensures data integrity by providing an additional barrier of protection against both cyberattacks and intentional or accidental deletion from within.
Join us on April 13th at 10 AM MST for a webinar on enterprise-grade cloud backup solutions offering industry-leading data immutability options. William Bell, Executive Vice President of Products at phoenixNAP, and Jim Lowry, Sr. System Engineer at Veeam, will walk you through Veeam’s new V12 Backup and Recovery platform and show you how to use it to ensure your critical data is quicky and easily recovered no matter what.
Key topics discussed:
Key challenges in protecting all of your data
Critical steps to minimizing data-related business disruptions
The important role of immutable backups
New immutability features from Veeam V12 Backup and Recovery

How to Scale Dedicated Compute and Performance Storage in Minutes
March 16th, 2023
11:00 AM MST
Today’s businesses are data-driven. Modern organizations leverage technologies such as big data analytics, AI, or ML to effectively extract actionable insights out of their growing datasets and use them to fuel their decision-making processes.
As their stack of data-intensive applications outgrows their infrastructure, IT professionals commonly face a choice. They are forced to either invest in costly hardware upgrades or settle for suboptimal performance, unpredictable costs, and security vulnerabilities of public cloud storage.
To help businesses of all sizes gain easy access to the latest compute, storage, and network technologies, phoenixNAP built an API-driven dedicated server platform called Bare Metal Cloud. This turnkey solution lets you automatically deploy and manage physical servers across global locations and achieve cloud-like agility without the hypervisor overhead.
To further extend the storage capabilities of this versatile solution, we joined forces with VAST Data and integrated their flash-powered Universal Storage Platform into Bare Metal Cloud.
Join us on March 16 at 11 AM MST as we discuss reliable and cost-effective approaches to overcoming compute and storage limitations at scale. Learn how to spin up dedicated servers in minutes via API, CLI, or WebUI and near-instantly add terabytes of low-cost network storage to your deployments.
Speakers:
• William Bell, EVP of Products at phoenixNAP
• Rob Girard, Principal Technical Marketing Engineer at VAST Data
Topics:
• Infrastructure challenges of data-driven organizations
• The trade-offs of public cloud storage
• Consuming dedicated IT resources with cloud flexibility
• DEMO: How to scale dedicated compute and performance storage in minutes
How to Solve Database Performance, Scalability, and Reliability Challenges
March 9th, 2023
10:00 AM MST
Databases power anything from traditional transaction and data warehouse environments to modern SaaS and cloud-native platforms. As dataset size increases and performance becomes more important, data-intensive workloads demand more compute and storage to meet critical service levels. Deploying more hardware can help but this approach doesn’t scale and can become cost-prohibitive. It is also difficult to manage and leads to new bottlenecks.
Enabling and optimizing database performance, scale and reliability while balancing costs requires a new approach that takes advantage of the latest technology innovations.
Pliops Extreme Data Processor (XDP) does just that. This data services PCIe card seamlessly manages the data flow between the database applications and local SSDs, freeing the CPU from computationally intensive storage tasks. In return, it delivers 3x-15x improved performance for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Aerospike, and other mainstream databases with integrated RAID 5 protection and greater scalability.
To make this technology easily consumable, phoenixNAP has built an opex-modeled infrastructure solution that gives you access to Pliops XDP on API-driven dedicated servers deployed in minutes.
Join us on Thursday, March 09, as we discuss leveraging database acceleration and optimization as a service. Experts from Pliops and phoenixNAP will show you how to cost-effectively accelerate database performance and achieve enterprise-grade data protection without the need for extra hardware.
You will learn how to:
- Overcome performance challenges and enable SQL and NoSQL database acceleration
- Scale up database workloads without adding extra server storage, memory, and processing
- Obtain full RAID 5-style data protection without sacrificing storage capacity
- Deploy Pliops XDP on workload-optimized Bare Metal Cloud servers

Securing Cloud Environments Through Micro-segmentation
February 22nd, 2023
10:00 AM MST
Modern IT architectures have evolved into a web of diverse network connections and environments. Security teams are managing a multitude of clouds, data centers, endpoints, virtual machines, OT and IT, containers, mainframes, serverless workloads, and the list keeps going.
Communication between these systems and apps is continually creating new attack vectors and growing the attack surface area. With a data breach in the US costing on average $9.44 million in 2022[i], organizations need to ensure all their assets are protected. Adopting technologies such as micro-segmentation not only enable and support today’s hyper-connected environments, but also provides an additional layer of security against cyber-attacks.
As a key technique for enabling zero-trust policies, micro-segmentation subdivides the network to allow for implementation of granular security parameters. This helps to identify whether communication paths are valid and secure, while preventing malware from spreading laterally across applications, networks, and servers.
Join us for a live discussion about the most widely used micro-segmentation technology, VMware NSX, and its crucial role within the multi-layered Data Security Cloud platform from phoenixNAP.
You will also learn more about:
-
Major cloud security challenges in 2023
-
Multi-layered security best practices
-
Zero-trust security benefits and requirements
-
Technical aspects of VMware NSX micro-segmentation
-
phoenixNAP’s Data Security Cloud with VMware NSX

The Age of RaaS: How to Stay Ahead
February 2nd, 2023
11:00 AM MST
As Ransomware threat data from 2022 is beginning to surface, we are getting a clearer picture of what we can expect in the following year.
Ransomware attacks continue to grow in volume and size, especially as new ransomware variants proliferate. This is partly attributed to the success of the Ransomware-as-a-Service model (RaaS), which enables malicious actors to deploy already developed malware tools on a subscription basis and quickly execute large-scale attacks.
Join us on February 2 at 11 a.m. MST for a live discussion on the necessary protection against ransomware throughout the peak of RaaS.
Our speakers William Bell, EVP of Products at phoenixNAP, and Michael Deemer, Inside Systems Engineer at Veeam, will cover the following key topics:
- Understanding modern RaaS and its proliferation
- The impact of RaaS on your security plans for 2023
- The importance of DRaaS in mitigating ransomware
- DRaaS technical features and benefits
