Cybersecurity Challenge: Your Mission - Analyze, Report & Defend! 🫡
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month and as professionals we know that recognizing a threat is only the first step - knowing how to triage, investigate and mitigate it is what builds true cyber resilience. To kick off this special month, we’re challenging our community to put their incident response instincts to the test! 🔍 The Challenge: Threat Analysis & Response Take a look at the attached simulated phishing email. It’s loaded with initial indicators of compromise and social engineering tactics. Your Mission: Identify at least 5 distinct red flags hiding in this email. Go Beyond Awareness: Pick at least one red flag and explain how you or your organization would: Investigate: What logs, headers, or telemetry would you pull to verify the threat scope? Respond & Defend: What immediate remediation or control updates (e.g., mail gateway rules, SIEM detections, endpoint controls) would you implement to prevent impact? ✏️ How to Participate Examine the email screenshot above. Reply in the comments with your 5 identified red flags + your investigation/defense strategy. Check back on October 23rd when we share the answers! 🎁 Prizes & Bonus Entries 🎟️ Every detailed submission enters you into a raffle for a prize! 🚀 Want an extra entry? Share your response or this challenge on LinkedIn, tag/link back to the Community and paste the link in your comment reply! 🛡️ Why "Beyond Awareness" Matters Threat actors constantly adapt their tactics, techniques and procedures. Moving beyond passive identification into active triage and defensive engineering ensures that every member of our community acts as a sensor and defender. Drop your submission in the comments below! 👇 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: The Answer Key & Winner Announcement!

Pure Report Podcast: Driving Value and Growth Through Sustainable Data Infrastructure
New episode of the Pure Report is live! 🎧 I sat down with Kathy Mulvany, Senior Director and Global Head of Sustainability and Social Impact, to dig into Everpure's new Global Impact Report and why sustainability has become an engineering and operating discipline, not just a reporting exercise. A few highlights: How remanufactured DirectFlash Modules are avoiding thousands of metric tons of carbon emissions Real customer outcomes, from AI data centers to state agencies shrinking their data center footprint Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, and why supplier partnerships matter Impact accounting: framing sustainability around business value, risk and long-term growth ▶️ Watch the full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3jFYipBmPw 🌱 Learn more: https://www.everpuredata.com/company/sustainability.html How is your organization measuring the footprint of its infrastructure?

Old Tech Tuesday
Welcome back! For this week, lets talk experiences. Key memories are typically associated with multiple senses. One great example is the resurgence of the clickety-clackety mechanical keyboards. What's sound, touch, or other sensory experience that unlocks a key memory? Mine is the sound of a dot matrix printer, where I had to print projects like hello_world.java from the sun microsystems computers in the basement computer lab.
First Preset and Counting
A bit routine, but this preset creates a volume to be used as a VMware datastore with a set regular size of 16GB. It also ensures "VMware Datastore" is in the volume name to quickly ascertain what the volume's use case is. Lastly, snapshots are taken every 6 hours and retained for 5-days. Create Regular Size 16GB Volume for a VMware Datastore w/6h5d Snapshots‘Tis the Season: Share Your Spookiest "Data Horror Stories"! 👻
We kicked this month off with some Cybersecurity Awareness month fun, now let’s shift gears towards something a little more spooky to celebrate the Halloween season. As Data enthusiasts and professionals, we all have our dreaded Data Horror Story that sticks in the back of our minds. Will you have the scariest tale? 🕸️ We want to hear YOUR spooky stories! What is the most horrifying, hair-raising or downright just plain funny data mishap you’ve ever experienced? How did you escape that nightmare (or fix the query)? Whether it was a mysterious dashboard metric that unexpectedly plummeted to zero at 4:59 PM on a Friday or entering a server room that just gave you the chills - drop your best Data Horror Story in the comments below!ActiveCluster for File Veeam Backup
Hello everyone :-) we recently got a Flasharray with the new "ActiveCluster for File" feature, which is pretty nice. We are trying to switch to Veeam. We are using VMware. I therfore created a Linux based Veeam Backup & Replication Server as well as linux based proxies in our vCenter. Backing up VMs via the hot-add transport mode works without any issues. The issue that we are facing is, how do we backup the NFS shares created from the "ActiveCluster for File"? Because Veeam sees the VMDKs from the VMs in the vCenter but doesen't see the NFS mounts from Everpure in the guest OS of the VM. My questions and thoughts are: Is it possible to create an physical Linux based on Veeam proxy and connected it to the Everpure FlashArray? According to this link, Everpure doesn't support the storage snapshot Integration feature https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/storage_system_requirements.html?ver=13 This is the Plugin I wanted to use with the physical proxy which is connected to the FlashArray https://www.veeam.com/kb4129 I can add the NFS Share into Veeam and create backjobs but how does it technically work? It uses the VBR Server as an proxy.. But is that the right way? How can I create Veeam backup jobs for NFS mounts (which are mounted on VMs in the vCenter, which Veeam doesn't see) provided by ActiveCluster for File ? How does a Veeam file share backup work technically and how should the recommended backup design be in this scenario? Thank you!
