I am looking for input for two upcoming articles for the data storage section of Computer Weekly.Article 1: How has backup changed, post the pandemic?
In this article we will look at how the changes in working patterns during the pandemic, including home working, have changed backup requirements, practices, and technology.
Areas we will look at include:
- Backing up remote and employee-owned devices
- Backing up SaaS applications and cloud instances
- The impact on maintenance of IT, especially data centres
- How remote / home working impacts restore and recovery processes
This is not an exhaustive list, and I am open to other suggestions, as well as examples.
The deadline for leads or information is 1700hrs, Friday 14th May.
Article 2: Storage metrics explained
What are the main storage metrics used in the industry? What do they mean, and how do we use them? This explainer piece will set out the most important terminology. We are also interested in new and emerging metrics, maybe those driven by new types of storage technology.
The deadline for leads or information is 1700hrs, Tuesday 18th May.
