It’s time for another Around the Storage Block Chalk Talk. I’m your host and chalk
board writer the IT Oddfather Calvin Zito. In this Chalk Talk, we'll look at new HPE
GreenLake for data protection solutions and I'll give you an update on recently acquired Zerto.
Data is the lifeblood of your organization and you know that explosive growth from edge to cloud is
a challenge. As more data is generated across edge to cloud and ransomware attacks are a new reality,
IT needs to modernize data protection. The customer ask: how can I secure data against
ransomware attacks, recover from disruptions and simplify backup and recovery operations?
Modernizing data protection is essential to every business. Let's look at three numbers:
51%, 84% and 50%. What do these mean? • 51% view enhancing data security and
protection as the number one priority. • 84% of organizations faced ransomware
threats in the last 12 months • And 50% of organizations
have suffered an unrecoverable data loss. In our big storage announcement in spring 2021,
as part of our Unified DataOps vision, we introduced the Data Services Cloud Console.
It starts with AI driven global intelligence with HPE InfoSight. There's our cloud-native
data infrastructure with HPE Alletra. Cloud infrastructure services
is part of the Data Services Cloud Console. But today's announcement is looking at the
cloud data services and specifically backup and recovery, disaster recovery, and data migration.
Let's dive in and look at next generation data protection services with HPE GreenLake.
This is about providing data protection services end-to-end through HPE GreenLake that offers cloud
consumption and experiences across the spectrum from disaster recovery, backup,
as well as archive. Every facet of data protection is offered as a service through HPE GreenLake.
We are also announcing HPE Backup and Recovery Service. It is backup as a service designed
for hybrid cloud providing cloud experience wherever your data lives. This service is
engineered as a cloud native service delivered through the Data Services Cloud Console.
It's initially available to protect VMware workloads deployed on HPE Alletra.
More applications workloads and platforms will be supported in the future releases.
This service is designed with a hybrid cloud architecture in mind, delivering
instant restores via local snapshots, rapid recovery on-premises and the cost-effectiveness
of cloud for long-term retention all through a single cloud native console.
Let's look at the key benefits of data protection as a service:
• Delivers on SLAs: meet all the customer RTO and RPO requirements with flexibility to deliver
snapshots for instant restores, rapid recovery on-prem, or cloud backups for long-term retention.
• Effortless management: it provides unified management edge to cloud
through a single cloud native console. • It's secure by design: VMs are
encrypted to neutralize threats from ransomware • And it's cost efficient: pay as you consume,
eliminate upfront CapEx expenses and reduce backup storage capacity with efficient
deduplication and compression technologies. I’m excited that we now have Zerto in the
portfolio. Zerto expands HPE's data management and disaster recovery capabilities, giving our
customers the ability to protect their data and recover in minutes from ransomware attacks.
An industry leader in cloud data management and protection,
Zerto immediately positions HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform
in the high growth data protection market with a proven solution and further propels
HPE's storage business into cloud native software-defined data services business.
Let's look a bit more at Zerto and our cloud data management and protection. Zerto's replication
engine is best in class for DR, continuous backup, long-term retention, data mobility, test and dev,
and security and compliance. And their continuous data protection is legendary. What really makes
the magic happen is orchestration and automation that's built into the platform. And analytics is
built in. All of this is available across a wide variety of platforms and clouds.
The key benefits with Zerto are • Flexibility with no
vendor lock-in and data portability, • Software only - no appliances or hardware
• Simplicity - one experience across solutions • Scalability - with a scale-out
architecture built for enterprise • Mobility to migrate VMs and apps with ease
• Orchestration to automate workflows So let me summarize our announcement
of data protection as a service and Zerto: • Secure against ransomware with fastest recovery.
• Recover from any disruption with industry-leading RPO and RTO with
the right blend of DR and backup • Protect effortlessly with policy
driven automation and unified management. To learn more about all of our data protection
