Kansas Patent of the Month – February 2021
Modern computing networks make data protection a complex and expensive endeavor. With data growth ever expanding, and the inclusion of cloud-based computer networks puzzle even the greatest data professionals. Even greater complexities are met with trying to keep up with changing and expanding technology, ensuring protection meets regulations and user demands. Cobalt Iron, Inc. is working on finding a way to optimize data protection automatically.
Their method involves automating operations associated with data protection. These operations could include data collection activities, responses to ransomware, and reconfigurations based on advancements in best practices. The system would utilize an analytics engine to execute director applications which optimize the data protection infrastructure. Their method would provide automated, analytics-based optimizations of back up and data protection operations. The system also operates in complex multi-domain or multi-cloud environments, working to debug and improve inefficiencies found in the system. The use of automated optimization of data protection would reduce the costs required to maintain and correct protection while ensuring data is as protected as possible.
