Applying AI and Machine Learning to improve system recoveries and replications

With the constant rise in cybercrime, having the ability to recover systems, or failover to a clean replica, is vital to minimise the impact of downtime and hopefully mitigate the need to pay any ransom demands.

Windows 2003 versus the asteroid

When support for an IT product is withdrawn, the formal announcement is greeted by many with a cursory glance; the rumour mill let them know months, or even years, ago and they have already executed Plan B.
