Rapid Storage Connect: 4-Wk Imp

Backup software continues to have deeper integrations with cloud storage. Due to lower TCO, consumption-based pay-as-you-go billing, and scalability, cloud storage is a fast-growing and increasingly viable option for backup storage and long term retention. With Rapid Storage Connect, we'll connect on-premise backup software to Azure for the purposes of data backup and retention. Our solution supports Cohesity, Commvault, Rubrik, Veeam, Veritas and many more.

Specific Goals and Objections

• Review current state of on-prem backup software
• Review pricing of cloud services, focusing on the monthly cost for storage
• Design a strategy to back up to the cloud and retain backups in the cloud
• Configure backup to connect to cloud repository
• Review backup policies & procedures
• Perform a test backup and restore
• Perform an additional 2 hours of knowledge transfer

Benefits

• Lower operational costs by tiering to more scalable cloud storage
• Free up your data center by offloading archive data
• Encrypt data in flight and at rest to reduce security risks
• Automate enforcement of policies for long-term archiving
• Control costs by aligning SLAs with your data management policies
• Keep pace with rapid data growth requirements
