In this episode, Chris discusses the latest announcements from Infinidat with CMO Eric Herzog, including a cloud version of the Infinidat platform and new cyber detection capabilities. Infinidat has released a version of the InfuzeOS that runs on the public cloud, marketed as InfuzeOS Cloud Edition. The software is a fully functional version of the same software running on all Infinidat systems, although at launch the implementation will operate as a single node. Customers can use the solution to replicate data into the public cloud and access it for a wide range of use cases, including DR, test/development work and capacity bursting.

Also announced is a new InfiniSafe feature called Cyber Detection. As the issue of ransomware continues to affect companies, faster and earlier recovery techniques are required. Cyber Detection enables Infinidat customers to detect potential malware in immutable snapshots using AI-based scanning techniques that provide feedback on the likelihood data contains ransomware software.

InfuzeOS is available today, while Cyber Detection will be released in 2H2023. For more information see https://www.infinidat.com/.
