Many enterprises want to leverage the cost savings, geo-redundancy, and operational simplicity of Microsoft Azure for backup. But extremely large backup files, single-point-of-failure systems, and complexity have prevented widespread adoption for most enterprises.
Now, with Seagate’s EVault Offsite Replication Service for Microsoft Azure, organizations can easily extend their large, dispersed, onsite backup environment to Microsoft Azure. The combination of Microsoft Azure and offsite replication service creates a hybrid solution that enables you to leverage LAN speeds to meet your recovery time objectives, while also providing complete cloud-based data protection.
Both hardware and software deployment options allow customers to:
- Deploy in their own Microsoft Azure Instance (if desired);
- Recover from the local backup or directly from Microsoft Azure;
- Remove a single point of failure with automatic failover to the cloud, if local systems become unavailable ;
- Control data retention length and policy.
Since this is delivered as a service, the design, optimization, and security of both the local backup and cloud backups are taken care of—and you have the only encryption key!
- End-to-end data security (On the target server, during transit, and at rest);
- Advanced deduplication and compression;
- Bandwidth optimization;
- On-going solution monitoring and alerting of storage and services, plus solution maintenance.
With Seagate’s EVault Offsite Replication Service for Microsoft Azure, enterprise IT shops can further automate and simplify their complex backup environment without additional complexity or high costs.
