In today’s data-driven landscape, data resilience is a necessity. IBM’s Data Resiliency Service, a core component of IBM Storage Defender, is purpose-built to ensure your data stays secure, available, and recoverable under any circumstance. Through a unified platform that delivers full visibility into your storage environment, organizations can evaluate their resiliency posture, track governance metrics, and meet compliance standards across their entire data estate.
What makes IBM’s approach stand out is its AI-enabled early threat detection. This intelligent monitoring covers hardware, filesystems, and backup systems, helping identify risks before they escalate into major incidents. The platform also validates recovery points from both storage and backup sources, allowing users to pinpoint trusted copies for restoration—a critical advantage when dealing with threats like ransomware or data corruption.
To help businesses experience these capabilities first-hand, IBM offers a 60-day free trial of the Data Resiliency Service. During the trial, users can:
- Set a resiliency standard to ensure compliance across their data infrastructure
- Leverage advanced early threat detection for swift, safe recovery
- Validate recovery points from diverse sources for trusted restorations
- Access in-channel support for setup, configuration, and optimization
This full-featured trial supports an end-to-end deployment, giving users the chance to see the platform’s impact on their data protection strategy. This trial is especially valuable for existing FlashSystem clients and VMware environments—offering a low-friction way to test advanced cyber resiliency features in familiar infrastructure. The trial also includes the latest features in from the IBM Storage Defender release that help FlashSystem clients with the Storage System Dashboard, and Backup recovery with the Backup System Dashboard and integration for IBM Storage Defender Data Protect and IBM Storage Protect for Virtual Environments.
With today’s cyber risks growing more complex, IBM’s Data Resiliency Service delivers a forward-thinking, scalable solution to help you stay secure and compliant. You can book your 60-day trial here and dive deeper into the service through IBM’s official documentation.
