This document discusses InfiniGuard, a data protection solution from Infinidat. It highlights challenges with current backup solutions including slow restore times. InfiniGuard addresses this by leveraging InfiniBox storage technology to achieve restore objectives. It provides fast, scalable backup and restore performance. InfiniGuard also discusses threats from server-side encryption attacks and how its immutable snapshots and isolated backup environment help provide cyber resilience against such threats.
