It’s time for another Around the IT Block Chalk Talk. I’m your host and chalk board writer the
IT Oddfather Calvin Zito. In this Chalk Talk, we'll look the HPE Backup and Recovery Service.
Data is the lifeblood of your business, and you know that explosive growth from edge to
cloud is a challenge. IT needs to modernize data protection. The customer ask: how can I secure
data against cyber attacks, unify management and automate backup and recovery operations?
Data protection hasn’t kept up with the times. • Ineffective protection means you are vulnerable
to increased cyberattacks such as ransomware. • Fragmented solutions - like multiple point
solutions for data resiliency make it difficult to meet the
recovery time and recovery point objectives. • Too much time spent managing infrastructure
and policies on–prem or in the hybrid cloud environment.
Let's look at next generation data protection services with the HPE Backup and Recovery Service.
It is backup as a service designed for hybrid cloud providing cloud experience
wherever your data lives. It's initially available to protect VMware workloads
deployed on HPE Alletra and now all HPE and non-HPE storage. This service is designed
with a hybrid cloud architecture in mind, to be effortless, efficient, and secure.
Let’s look closer at simplifying with HPE Backup and Recovery Service.
There are two data protection paths – the first is what we originally offered with the service,
using HPE Alletra and HPE Nimble Storage with snapshot integration.
The service also includes any storage using the VMware Storage APIs for data protection.
This means the service now supports virtual machines using any storage,
HPE or non-HPE. The service will intelligently decide the most efficient way to protect
the selected VMware virtual machines. And the service is being expanded to protect
Amazon EBS Volumes and EC2 instances. It expands the HPE Backup and Recovery Service experience.
Customers can consistently protect data across on-prem or in the cloud with global policies,
eliminating data silos, delivered on a secure platform with built in protection for ransomware.
And if I return briefly to this view and I’ll add AWS protection to the
overall picture with Rapid Recovery using Amazon Machine Image or EBS snapshots.
It’s one service to protect data on-premises or in the cloud. And this is expected to
be available in September 2022. HPE Backup and Recovery Service
is simplifying hybrid cloud data protection. • Manage from anywhere with streamlined setup
and unified management edge to cloud. • Automated protection that lets you set
up global protection policies in a few clicks. • Enhanced security that is built in to protect
from cyberattacks and ransomware.
• And recovery from disruptions and meet enterprise recovery point and recovery time objectives.
It’s an efficient consumption-based service. • Consumption based bills based on simple
metrics so it’s transparent. • Shift from up front costs
to a predictable pay per use model. • Scale on-demand without the need
for buffer capacity – or scale down.
Backup data can be up 40%–60% of total data storage and increasing storage efficiency delivers big benefits.
HPE Backup and Recovery Service is up to 5 times more storage efficient than other software and services.
So, you’ll get reduced backup storage costs, reduced network bandwidth costs,
and backups finish faster. And it’s secure by design:
• All data, at rest and in flight is encrypted. • Immutable data copies that
cannot be changed by anyone. • Destructive operations require
escalation and approval via dual-authorization. • Physical disconnection between production data
and backup copy gives you an air-gap. • And multiple-level security for access,
authentication, authorization and communications built into HPE GreenLake.
Lastly, let's look at the key benefits and I’ll tell you how to get a 90 day free evaluation:
• Effortless management: it provides unified management edge to cloud through
a single cloud native console. • And it's cost efficient:
pay as you consume, eliminate upfront CapEx costs and reduce backup storage capacity.
• It's secure by design: VMs are encrypted, with data immutability, and ransomware protection.
• Delivers on SLAs to meet all the customer RTO and RPO requirements.
