IBM has announced the general availability of three new IBM Z software offerings that strengthen security operations, simplify certificate management, and improve database administration through AI-assisted automation. The releases reflect IBM’s continued focus on supporting mission-critical workloads running on IBM Z and LinuxONE environments as enterprises address increasingly complex security, compliance, and operational requirements.  

CloudCasa by Catalogic has introduced CloudCasa Disaster Recovery (CloudCasa DR) for Kubernetes, powered by HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000. The new offering extends CloudCasa’s Kubernetes data protection portfolio with orchestrated disaster recovery capabilities designed for Kubernetes applications and KubeVirt virtual machines deployed across HPE and hybrid cloud environments. The announcement builds on CloudCasa’s existing support

Everpure has announced the availability of Everpure Data Stream, a new platform component based on the NVIDIA AI Data Platform reference design. It brings AI processing closer to enterprise data while addressing common challenges related to data preparation, governance, and scalability. The release expands the company’s broader strategy of delivering AI-ready data infrastructure for enterprise

HPE has built a coordinated cyber resilience architecture around the Alletra Storage MP B10000. It extends the platform’s native security capabilities through an integrated stack that includes virtualization with Morpheus and VM Essentials, continuous data protection with Zerto, long-term backup retention with StoreOnce, and observability via vendor-agnostic security information and event management (SIEM) integration.

Object First reported 118% year-over-year bookings growth in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting an increased enterprise focus on immutable backup storage as a core defense against ransomware and other destructive cyber events. The company continues to position immutable storage as a foundational element of modern data protection strategies, particularly for organizations standardizing on Veeam.

Backup and recovery infrastructure has always been the part of the data center that gets the most attention when something goes wrong, but that pattern has shifted. Ransomware has made backup the last line of defense rather than an insurance policy, and the operational expectations have shifted accordingly. Recovery times that were acceptable five years

Infrastructure for cyber resilience occupies a position in the enterprise stack that primary storage does not. When a system fails, data becomes corrupted, or ransomware locks an organization out of its environment, recovery ultimately depends on the backup platform. That reality has sustained strong demand for purpose-built backup appliances even as cloud-based alternatives have expanded.

At VeeamON 2026 in New York City, Veeam Software announced Veeam Intelligent ResOps, a new resilience capability designed to unify data context with recovery operations. The offering targets environments where AI-driven activity and automation are accelerating change across enterprise data, requiring more precise visibility and response than traditional backup workflows provide. Intelligent ResOps is the
