Broadcom has just announced the General Availability (GA) of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0, the platform for the modern private cloud. And also has just announced the General Availability (GA) of VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) 9.0.

Currently, vSphere 9.0 features are only available as part of VMware vSphere Foundation 9.0 and VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0. There is not yet an independent VMware vSphere 9.0 version.

Note that the new products are already in GA… seems that for version 9.0 Broadcom is not using the VMware vSphere 8.0 IA/GA release model. Maybe they will choose again to create minor version, like 9.1…

Using Commvault to improve the minimum viability

Logo Commvault Reading Time: 6 minutes

Minimum viability, sometimes referred to as a “minimum viable company”, means having a keen understanding of just the most critical assets and what it takes to restore them to be operational after a cyberattack or incident.

The rise of cyberattacks is forcing organizations to rethink their recovery strategies. While detecting threats remains critical, a more significant challenge has emerged: making sure protected data is clean and available to bring a company back online.  And that’s the scope of minimum viabilitity.

Developing a plan for minimum viability starts well before an attack and has basically three main phases: first an accurate and aligned view of the core processes and dependent systems, then understanding the cost of downtime for those core resources, and finally making clear and actionable plan to restore critical systems, data, and processes.

Commvault Cloud Rewindis the result of Appranix acquisition in April, 16: Appranix is a cloud cyber resilience company and Commvault made this acquisition to help enterprises get up and running even faster after an outage or cyberattack. 

Cloud Rewind acts as an AWS time machine. This cloud-native offering lets organizations “rewind” to the last clean copy of their data, recover that data, and automate the cloud application rebuild process so that businesses can get back to normal in minutes versus hours, days, weeks, or months.

Today, when organisations are attacked, restoring the data is only half the battle. The truly laborious task is actually restoring the distributed cloud applications, which are used to run and power that data.

What is minimum viability?

Minimum viability refers to the set of essential resources and capabilities (combination of critical applications, assets, processes, and people) an organization needs to maintain critical operations and fulfill its core mission after a disruption like a cyberattack or disaster.

It’s about identifying what’s absolutely necessary to get back up and running quickly and efficiently, rather than trying to restore everything at once.

The rise of cyberattacks is forcing organizations to rethink their recovery strategies. While detecting threats remains critical, a more significant challenge has emerged: making sure protected data is clean and available to bring a company back online.
