Backup Tape Vaulting & Rotation Services
The largest enterprises and those organizations that create HUGE volumes of data understand that the most cost-effective method of backing up is via tape. YES – via tape!
Many believe that backing up to The Cloud is the way to go, and in some cases that is correct. Cloud storage may seem and initially be cost effective. But there are hidden “Gotchas” too. Some examples:
- Assumption that cloud apps are ‘backed-up’. Not necessarily.
- Cloud apps that ARE backed up are typically ‘de minimus’. For instance: 24 hour RPO, and only 30 day retention.
- Restore SLA’s may be measured in days or weeks.
- Restoring data from the cloud can be extremely expensive.
- Assumption that clouds never experience outages.
- Assuming clouds are invulnerable to malware attacks.
Here are some facts about Tape And Cloud:
- The Cloud is actually driving increased use of tape for backups.
- The largest enterprises & Big Data Creators are using a ‘Tape AND Cloud Strategy’ to protect data & save cost.
- As data ages, its’ value and importance of RTO is reduced. Hence, storing it on and recovering it from tape becomes both operationally sound and extremely cost effective.
- The sheer capacity growth and continuous re-design have made 8th Generation LTO Tape Technology unbeatable in terms of cost-effectiveness, performance, speed and long-term protection.
- Many Cloud hyper-scalers use tape ‘behind the curtain’; some have thousands of tape libraries. They’ve discovered economic & reliability benefits of tape – the same ones enjoyed by large enterprises, Big Data creators and IT organizations.
