Halloween, one of the festivals from the west, is celebrated every year on the 31st of october. Unlike other festivals, Halloween’s unique tradition makes it stand out. Its origin dates back to the ancient celtic festival around two thousand years ago. It marked the beginning of dark cold winters and the celebrants believed the dead returned to earth to destroy the harvest.
Woah! Spooky right? Well, the times have changed and so have the fears. The real horror for any IT admin today will rather be the data loss. Businesses demand continuous running of their data centers for which continuous data protection is required. If not any other day then at least this Halloween, set up a reliable backup and disaster recovery environment for your business.
Let’s talk a little more about Halloween. The harvests grown in the summer were preserved for the winters, the time when cultivation is not usually possible. To prevent the harvest from getting damaged or destroyed, the ancient people lit bonfires and dressed themselves as evil spirits to ward off the ghosts. Times, be in then or now, the best approach to safeguard is a proper protection plan. Works anytime!
Apart from this, ancient people gathered and spent time trying to tell each other their fortune. Once after the celebration is over, they relit the hearth fire which they believed will protect them from the dark and cold winters. The traditions have gradually changed over years and today it is more of a fun celebration rather than any kind of a belief. Activities like trick-or-treat, pranks with witchcraft, dressing up in costumes and gathering to party have now become a common practice of celebrating Halloween.
