Backup is a pain point for almost every IT organization. But headaches multiply when you are managing it across multiple locations, users, and applications. Likewise, disaster recovery capabilities are increasingly required for offices and locations across the globe, but traditional methods of DR are expensive, resource intensive and difficult to scale across multiple sites.
How do you know it’s time to say goodbye to traditional methods of backup and DR? Answer yes to any of these questions and your organization is a good candidate for a new approach:
A global file system takes file snapshots every few minutes, or at whatever interval your business requires. Every iteration stored as an immutable WORM file. Hybrid cloud deployment means onsite appliances instantly pass files into the cloud, encrypted, de-duped and compressed, while caching the most frequently accessed files for fast local access. With this architecture every version of every file is instantly and permanently stored in the cloud and restorable within seconds.
Operating globally today means relying on a network of operations to compete and deliver services. Strategic disaster recovery planning needs to provide recovery services for multiple sites and allow continuous file access for the rest of the organization, even during the disaster event. Likewise, a DR solution should be able to be deployed quickly and simply, with the result that site users can access their data within minutes of the outage occurring.
Nasuni cloud file services deployed across multiple sites eliminate the need for traditional backup infrastructure and can be configured in a hybrid cloud deployment for a 15-minute disaster recovery at any site. Its global file system provides continuous versioning of files, effectively automating your backup and supporting rapid disaster recovery. The result is both increased data protection across more sites and data assets, and cost reductions from eliminating traditional backup and DR hardware and software licenses. It is not uncommon for users of a global file system from Nasuni to reduce costs by 70% - savings which can be redeployed to more critical IT initiatives.
