Challenge: Continuing Threat to Data
Data is the most valuable asset of an enterprise. IT managers face the challenge of protecting IT from loss and malicious attacks. Legacy architectures and solutions often leave data vulnerable. Perimeter defenses are constantly challenged by increasingly sophisticated attacks. Every enterprise therefore needs a reliable data protection solution that meets stringent RPO/RTO objectives and protects data from loss or malicious ransomware attacks.
The backup target plays an integral role. Public cloud targets can limit bandwidth, resulting in lengthy restore times. A ransomware attack could render that data useless, potentially shutting down operations, whether the backup target is in the cloud or on-prem. The need for a new approach to data protection has never been greater.
Solution: Rapid, Reliable, and Resilient Recovery with Veeam and Cloudian
The new Veeam Data Platform is the simple, flexible, and reliable solution to help customers evolve the way they manage data and to ensure it is available across any application and cloud infrastructure. As part of the Veeam Data Platform, Veeam Backup and Replication v12 further advances enterprise-grade data protection with support for direct-to-object storage, allowing customers to secure their most important assets directly onto Cloudian HyperStore – a fast, on-premises disk-based storage with built-in ransomware protection.
Together, Veeam and Cloudian form a robust and highly secure data protection solution which provides end-to-end protection capabilities for greater cyber security protection and operational efficiencies to fully protect and recover faster. At 70% less cost than public cloud or traditional enterprise storage, Veeam and Cloudian together offer an innovative solution for better backup storage.
Cloudian provides greater backup performance than public cloud at 70% less cost. Object Lock feature ensures data immutability for reliable recovery.
High Speed Backup and Recovery at Reduced Cost
Veeam Data Platform provides the capability to back up data directly to Cloudian HyperStore object storage over your local high-speed network, saving significant time and money by eliminating the need for a primary backup tier. The solution lets you back up and restore large data sets in a fraction of the time required for public cloud storage, leading to enhanced Recovery Point Objectives (RPO). To enhance Recovery Time Objectives (RTO), the solution supports recovery directly from HyperStore.
End-to-End Data Immutability for Ransomware Protection
To protect data from ransomware attacks, Cloudian HyperStore and Veeam Data Platform support Object Lock for end-to-end, airtight data immutability all the way up to the operating system root level. This permits backup data copies to be made tamperproof for a set period of time, which prevents hacker encryption or deletion and ensures a clean data copy for reliable recovery. The resulting security is comparable to offline storage.
Fully Integrated Monitoring with Smart Object Storage API
Cloudian offers comprehensive monitoring and analytics with HyperIQ observability and analytics platform for access to system health and network performance cluster wide. With the latest version, Cloudian HyperStore supports Veeam’s new Smart Object Storage API (SOS API), allowing Veeam v12 and onwards users to access HyperStore usage metrics from within the Veeam console to manage and plan their capacity utilization more easily.
“Object Lock” protects data from ransomware by making it unchangeable for a specified period, thus preventing encryption by malware.
Industry-Leading Security
The Veeam-Cloudian solution provides extensive security features that make it possible to deploy and operate cost-effective data protection workflows while keeping customers data extremely secure. These features include data encryption and transparent key management, AES-256 server-side encryption for data stored at rest, SSL for data in transit (HTTPS), role-based access controls with specified levels of access, audit trail logging, Object Lock for data immutability, and more.
Cloud-Like Storage
Cloudian features a fully-native S3 API and a modular architecture designed to deliver a cloud-like management experience, whether deployed in your data center, at a service provider, or at the edge. Cloudian gives you capacity on demand, making it ideal for semistructured or unstructured data. To expand, simply add nodes, either at one site or across multiple sites. Manage it all within a single namespace, from a single management console, and search metadata across all your sites with a single query. Cloudian’s hybrid cloud capabilities even let you create and manage a data copy within AWS S3, if desired.
Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Ready
Cloudian is an on-prem storage system that can also integrate directly with public cloud storage services for offsite DR, capacity expansion, or data analysis in the cloud.
For disaster recovery purposes, Cloudian’s data management functionality lets you create a remote data copy.
Employ policy-based tools to replicate or tier data to AWS, GCP, Azure, or to another Cloudian HyperStore cluster. With policy-based management, your offsite copy will be automatically kept up to date.
Multi-Tenancy
Increase efficiency by allowing multiple users to share a single backup and storage infrastructure, without compromising security. Both Veeam and Cloudian support multi-tenancy, ensuring that multiple clients may be supported within a single system while maintaining full data security. Integrated billing simplifies management, and QoS controls help you deliver consistent service levels.
Multi-tenancy support lets you create multiple backup workflows within a single infrastructure without compromising security.
