Each VMware vSphere edition has its own price, but VMware also provides a free version of ESXi.

Leveraging backup-as-a-service (BaaS) for Microsoft 365

Summary Microsoft 365 is the operational backbone for email, collaboration, and business data, but it does not provide true backup — only availability and short-term retention. Once retention windows expire, deleted or compromised data may be unrecoverable, creating significant risk for organizations. Backup-as-a-service (BaaS) for Microsoft 365 closes this protection gap by delivering independent, point-in-time backups, granular recovery, and long-term retention.

Top Git Hosting Services for 2025

Choosing different IT services is like choosing a car. Apparently, all cars have four wheels, an engine, and they can be driven. But in the end, differences are much bigger, and the final choice depends on many factors. Of course, we always take into account the price, but not only.

Ultimate Guide to Vulnerability Assessment: What, Why & How (2026 Edition)

If you’re an IT MSP, vulnerability assessment has grown from a river to a flood over the last couple of years. In 2020, there were 18,000 recorded common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). By 2024, that number had more than doubled, eclipsing 40,000. And 2025 is showing no signs of reversing the trend. The rise of vulnerabilities means that manual vulnerability assessment is no longer possible.

Keeping Backup Equipment Secure While Strengthening Digital Defenses

During power outages, cyber-attack incidents, and hardware failure, backup devices allow for many systems to be operational without interruption. To ensure that a backup device operates effectively, it must be maintained in a secure location and in good condition. When backup devices are lost, exposed to environmental conditions, or unorganized, the chance of a backup device working when it is most needed is diminished significantly, which increases the risk of an organization losing access to a required digital resource.

OT resilience demands rapid recovery: Rethinking traditional backup

Industrial organizations face a stark reality: Downtime is costly, disruptive and cannot be entirely prevented. Whether it’s a cyberattack, hardware failure or simple data corruption, operational technology (OT) environments must be ready to recover quickly. In a recent podcast, Stephen Nichols, Country Manager for Canada at Acronis, shared his perspective on why rapid recovery is now a fundamental pillar of industrial resilience and how modern backup strategies are evolving to meet the challenge.
