Most businesses rely on data to make critical decisions. And the sentiment is that accessible, accurate data is only becoming more important, with 90% of businesses saying data has become increasingly significant to their business overall.
As organizations continue to rely on data for decision-making, it’s even more important to confront challenges to data integrity—from the surge in cyber threats to the unpredictability of physical disasters—with next-gen tools. A storage solution that can safeguard your data and ensure its unwavering availability, even in the face of these unexpected challenges, should be at the top of every organization’s wish list.
In response to these issues, Telnyx has moved to create a resilient storage solution that can keep your data safe, offering a blend of advanced security features and easy accessibility. But you don’t have to take our word for it. Let’s take a look at what makes storage solutions resilient and how Telnyx has bolstered our solution to better protect your business data.
Resilient storage refers to the ability of a storage system to provide continuous access to data, even in the face of hardware failures, software glitches, or other unforeseen challenges. Resilient storage is more than backing up your data—although that’s still an important safety measure. When storage solutions build in resilient features, they look to ensure your data remains accessible and intact no matter what.
When a storage solution includes the features below, you can be sure that resiliency is top of mind for its developers.
Data redundancy
The solution stores multiple copies of data in different locations to ensure if one copy is compromised, others remain accessible.
Automatic failover
In the event of a system failure, the storage solution will automatically transfer operations to another system without any noticeable disruption to the end user.
Scalability
As your organization’s data needs grow, resilient storage systems can easily expand without compromising performance or reliability.

Many of these features are made possible or strengthened by leveraging the cloud for your storage needs.
The cloud has emerged as a powerful ally in the quest for resilient storage. Its distributed nature means data isn't tied to a single physical location, which reduces the risk of data loss due to localized events like natural disasters or targeted cyberattacks.
There are several other reasons businesses have looked to the cloud over on-premise storage to keep their data safe:
Flexibility
You can easily scale cloud storage up or down based on your needs to ensure you only pay for what you use. And since you don’t have to invest in the hardware necessary for on-premise storage, you’re less limited by your machines’ capabilities. Instead, you can choose any provider whose solution meets your needs.
Collaboration
With data stored in the cloud, teams can collaborate in real time, regardless of their geographical location. Choosing a low-latency storage option will help you further increase your collaboration capabilities, with fewer delays and lower wait times for uploading and file-sharing than solutions with higher latency.
Continuous upgrades
Cloud providers regularly update their infrastructure to ensure users can always access the latest and most secure storage solutions. Offloading maintenance operations to cloud providers means your IT team can focus on higher-priority tasks instead of constantly checking your on-premise storage solution for bugs and patching issues.
As businesses lean more heavily on real-time data to make critical decisions, data safety and accessibility have become even more important. Resilient storage, especially when combined with the power of the cloud, offers a promising solution to the challenges of modern data storage.
At Telnyx, we take our reputation as a leading cloud connectivity solutions provider seriously. To ensure your organization has continuous access to the data you need, we’ve taken a state-of-the-art approach to resilient storage. Our cloud-based storage solution combines the best of traditional storage methods with the flexibility and scalability of the cloud.
Telnyx encrypts your data to ensure it remains secure both in transit and at rest. By leveraging the cloud, we can help businesses reduce the overhead costs of maintaining physical storage infrastructure. Telnyx Cloud Storage is more affordable than other cloud storage options, starting from just $0.006/GiB/month—with no egress fees. Finally, data stored in Telnyx's cloud can be accessed globally, ensuring your business remains operational even in the face of local challenges.
What is resilient storage? Resilient storage keeps data available and correct during failures by combining redundancy, fault isolation, and fast recovery workflows. It spans on-premises, virtualized, containerized, and hybrid cloud environments with consistent policies and observability.
What is resiliency in storage? Resiliency in storage is the degree to which a system tolerates disk, node, or network failures without losing data or access. Techniques include mirroring or RAID, parity or erasure coding, synchronous or asynchronous replication, and automated rebuilds with checksums.
What is RHEL resilient storage? RHEL Resilient Storage provides clustered Linux servers with coordinated, concurrent access to shared storage using fencing, quorum, and cluster-aware file systems. It enables high availability for applications that need fast failover without risking split-brain data corruption.
What is a resilient system? A resilient system continues operating when components fail, adapts to changing conditions, and recovers quickly from incidents. It relies on redundancy, fault tolerance, observability, and practiced recovery runbooks to minimize downtime and data loss.
How do you design a resilient storage architecture? Define RPO, RTO, failure domains, and data classes early, since content types and size constraints in workloads like the messaging types you handle influence whether to use block, file, or object storage. Then layer multi-zone replication, snapshots, immutable backups, versioning, and automated failover to meet those objectives.
How does resilient storage handle large media and unstructured data? Use object storage with erasure coding, lifecycle policies, and CDN fronting, because images and video have variable size and access patterns similar to MMS messaging. Pair metadata indexes with content-addressable storage and checksums to ensure durability and fast retrieval.
How do you test storage resilience? Run failure drills that simulate disk loss, node outages, network partitions, and whole-site failover while verifying data integrity and recovery time. Include burst tests that mirror fan-out distribution patterns like group or broadcast messaging to validate throughput, backpressure, and rebuild speed under load.
