Elsewhere this month we’ve something of a storage theme going on, with articles that cover best practice for backups and how to keep your data lakes from turning into data swamps, and a case study that details a collaboration between NTT Global Data Centers and Toshiba on a storage system that has been continuously running for four years without maintenance or unexpected downtime. We also have reviews of an invaluable Tone and Probe kit for installers and engineers and a simple solution to a major problem that plagues businesses and organisations of all sizes, namely email security.
