The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.

Lol @jpwarren "If you want DRAM, best wait until after the bubble pops, or buy servers on eBay from enterprises that cancel failed GenAI projects."

@smitmartijn very cool! Your moment in the spotlight well deserved, my friend

[Joep Piscaer @jpiscaer]

@smitmartijn you saw?

On the topic of Clumio, Commvault's event-driven backups of object storage buckets, they're announcing Backtrack, an object-level granular restore feature using calendar-based recovery points. Read more at https://t.co/Mrp2Odw5Nx

#CommvaultShift wouldn't be complete without cloud-native data protection. https://t.co/XTXfzUJYEl

[Joep Piscaer @jpiscaer]

Commvault leveraging the technology they acquired through clumio and appranix, giving them deep control over data protection across cloud, on-prem and edge, and are giving customers a single platform for ease of use.

[Joep Piscaer @jpiscaer]

I hope they thought about the attack surface here, though. While a nice gimmick, it does give away lots of access to a backup server, potentially leading to all kinds of security compromises. That wouldn't be great PR for a cyber resilience company.

[Joep Piscaer @jpiscaer]

Ever wanted to talk to your backup system? With #commvault, you can. They've released a MCP server, allowing users to interact with it through natural language to configure, manage and execute backup tasks. Read more at https://t.co/HdnFvIFf99

Finally, recovery of identities can be validated continuously trough isolated testing in Cleanroom Recovery, so that a known-good clean state can be recovered. Read more at https://t.co/N3qhwpxZ1n

On to Identity Resilience at #commvaultshift. Identity, and specifically Active Directory, are key attack vectors -- being able to detect anomalies and reverse those changes in real-time are key to keeping an organization's identity source secure.

[Joep Piscaer @jpiscaer]

Through visualization of attack timelines, admins can pinpoint who changed what, when, and how. This helps in determining contributing factors, fix the root cause, and make sure it doesn't happen again.

[Joep Piscaer @jpiscaer]

this is now an automated process to restore data to a trusted, clean state, with minimal data loss and reducing reinfection risk. This eliminates the traditional trade-off between data loss (rolling back far enough to be safe) vs. reinfection risk (rolling back infected data).

[Joep Piscaer @jpiscaer]

On the topic of recovery.. #commvaultshift https://t.co/sCWcW9rRrp

[Joep Piscaer @jpiscaer]

This is actually pretty cool -- using the metadata and data Commvault has access to create a picture of known-good states, picking and choosing restorable data from before infection or attack. This used to be an incredible labor-intensive, error-prone process. Now...

[Joep Piscaer @jpiscaer]

@Commvault 3. Identity Resilience: identity is key in any environment, especially with the rise of AI agents that do the work for us. These features help enterprises detect, audit, and reverse hard-to-detect threats in identity systems like Active Directory.

[Joep Piscaer @jpiscaer]

First up at #CommvaultSHIFT, is the announcement of Cloud Unity. https://t.co/a7RuOCQfSm

[Joep Piscaer @jpiscaer]

@Commvault 2. Cyber Recovery: a backup isn't a backup if it's not recoverable. Commvault has an extensive suite of recovery capabilities, including Clean Room, Synthetic Recovery and more.
