Hybrid cloud backup

Hybrid cloud backup

10 years  data backup was simple to copy files to a disk or backup to tape and always well or so we thought today we have much more dating research predicts that there will be 40 zettabytes of data on the planet by 2020 and as businesses learn to better analyze and use the data it becomes much more valuable. 

This increase in data has yielded more ways in which to back it up but beware not all backup is created equal here's a quick look at today's backup options and how they can affect your business with file-based backups specific files or folders are saved as needed file-based backups allow you to restore individual files full restore zar possible but because restoration software handles only one file at a time the process is time-consuming do you have time to wait for image-based backup to take a picture of entire machines with image based backup you can restore individual files do bare metal restore 'he's verify images boot up virtual machines and even run remote offices because the image-based backup contains a more complete data picture full restores are much faster and more reliable than they are with a file-based solution agentless backups do not require any software to be installed on the machine you want to protect the backup process can be more efficient however by installing a piece of software known as a backup agent.

 The backup agent can monitor sector-level changes on the machines drive this lets the backup process know exactly what sectors to pull resulting in a low load on the protected machine during back up our agent has one more advantage that it has to backup engines if one engine fails the other kicks in automatically greatly improving the chances of capturing a healthy backup what good's a backup of its flawed local backup solutions save data to an on-site device and while a local-only backup can be quick and easy relying solely on local can be dangerous if your office is flooded, for example, there goes your only backup direct to cloud backup solutions send data to a secure off-site location transferring data to and from the cloud is dependent on bandwidth speed so it can be slower than local backups, however, having your back up in the cloud can be your salvation in a disaster, a hybrid cloud solution combines the best of both worlds local and cloud a hybrid cloud system is less dependent on bandwidth speed than a cloud the only solution it can schedule transfers without the risk of having no backup data with a hybrid cloud solution, you can be up and running from a local backup in seconds and you can also count on an off-site backup should the need arise we hope this  clarifies some of your questions on the types of backup the fastest most complete most guaranteed backup and recovery solution adopts an image-based approach employees dual backup agents and provides a hybrid cloud backup model by combining the benefits of both local and cloud-based storage let's talk soon to help you find a solution that will meet all of your needs you

Hybrid Cloud Benefits

Hybrid Cloud Benefits

The true hybrid cloud benefts would be a customer's choice it's the choice to deploy workloads in the best location for that particular workloads security needs performance needs and scalability needs that means developers can build applications on transient infrastructure that they use just when they need it and then at deploy time infrastructure and operations teams can decide the best location whether it's within the datacenter in the public cloud or a combination of both to deploy the application to take advantage  not only of scalability and elasticity in those different cloud environments but different levels of security and control but along with more options a true hybrid cloud solution should also reduce complexity it shouldn't add more friction to the decision points of whereto run applications were to build applications and then where to manage those applications, in turn, you can apply the security and control that you have your private environment to the public cloud so hybrid cloud is really a way for enterprise IT  groups to lay down those guardrails for developers that are using the public cloud and say these are the situations where public cloud makes sense and this is the type of data that we can allow moving to the public cloud I think what enterprises need from a hybrid cloud solution is a way to get to yes on cloud faster a way to not put the brakes on cloud use but to enable developers to build faster rollout new applications by giving them access to public cloud resources where it makes sense and then within the same management environment moving workloads back into a private cloud environment within the data center when that makes more sense what we tell enterprises when they're looking at hybrid cloud solutions are building a hybrid cloud strategy is your hybrid today if you have a shared virtualized environment where different business units are sharing access to virtualized servers storage network components you have the makings of a private cloud if anyone in the organization has deployed a web application to a hosting provider or is doing development in the public cloud today then you have the baseline or if you have some private and some public you have the makings of hybrid the goal of a hybrid cloud solution should be to let your the folks that manage your internal resources learn from what works in the public cloud and vice versa an ideal hybrid cloud strategy should make infrastructure that you own as easy to consume as infrastructure from the public cloud and by the same token it should make infrastructure from the public cloud as easy to manage and control as infrastructure you own hybrid cloud shouldn't add more management complexity it should simplify IT operationsyou
