As businesses increasingly rely on the cloud to manage their data, they face more pressing concerns regarding data security and integrity. These concerns become even more complex in multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments, where companies distribute data across multiple platforms. But there is a solution: immutable data storage. Immutable storage preserves data in its original state, thus preventing tampering.

"…the Impending Political Exothermicism and Endothermicism

Turning and turning in the widening gyre   

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere   

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst   

Are full of passionate intensity."

  • William Butler Yeats.

 

“Whilst Apostles of Amoda Ogunlere of Iragbiji in Osun State busy themselves advancing the gospel of Tinubu Crow, Agberocrazy and Omonileism, humiliating, maiming and killing those they have labelled “enemies” and “aliens”, especially Nigerian citizens of Ndigbo extraction and beating war drums, all former Heads of State and Presidents of Nigeria (General Yakubu Gowon, General Olusegun Obasanjo, General Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida, General Abdulsalami Abubakar,  Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, and the incumbent at whom this SOS of mine is primarily directed, must take this SOS of mine as a wakeup call as the nation once again, is just a few yards away from Roads 1962  and 1966.”
