Off-site migration of backup data can help companies prevent incidents where the original workload resides in a damaged location, such as key sites being damaged by natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and fires. When the original internal site is destroyed, the data at the remote disaster recovery location is still safe.
The enterprise-level disaster recovery cloud can be used to migrate and recover data in different places, and can replace traditional disaster recovery and recovery methods.
It is a thing of the past to use tape drives to back up corporate data and transfer them to off-site storage via tape. Reasons include:
• The cost of transferring large amounts of data via the Internet is already very low. The cost of transferring data through the use of corporate Internet exports during leisure is basically equal to zero.
• Enterprise broadband speeds continue to increase, especially when using individual operators' single lines, and the bandwidth is frequently 1000Mbps, 10Gbps, which makes the transfer of GB-level data between the Internet, enterprise intranets (intranets built by production centers and disaster recovery centers) and the cloud every day. It is feasible.
• The cost of storing massive amounts of data in the disaster recovery cloud has dropped significantly, thanks to the rapid development of technology and the increase in disk capacity.
• Enterprises can control independently and expand or shrink cloud storage capacity according to actual storage needs.
• Enterprise-level disaster recovery cloud supports a hybrid cloud approach. By saving data copies on-site and in the cloud in the production computer room, you can generally restore the most recent copy on-site, and the RPO is getting lower and lower, similar to UCACHE enterprise-level disaster recovery cloud RPO is almost equal to 0.
• Save the backup data in the enterprise-level disaster recovery cloud. Based on the characteristics of the cloud, the risk of data loss is very low, and the system can be stored for a long time. For enterprises, the data within one year has been saved to meet the requirements.
Today, enterprises do not need to send operation and maintenance colleagues to transfer backup hard drives, mobile hard drives and tapes from the production room to a secure off-site facility that specializes in storing backup media. Simply connect the Internet to transfer backup data to the enterprise disaster recovery cloud for permanent save.
to sum up
Compared with traditional off-site disaster recovery methods, enterprise-level disaster recovery cloud has multiple advantages, less expense and backup team personnel expenditure, and can take advantage of the increasingly cheap and unlimited storage capacity and excellent flexibility of the cloud environment.
As enterprise disaster recovery cloud providers become more skilled at replicating complex internal environments and software vendors develop more powerful DRaaS support technologies, enterprise-level disaster recovery clouds have become a more practical option for enterprises than traditional disaster recovery methods.
UCACHE Disaster Recovery Center implemented the "UCACHE Disaster Recovery Cloud Free Popularization Plan" for small enterprise-level disaster recovery clouds. The implementation of this plan will help tens of thousands of startups and small businesses to be used free of charge, helping small and startups Enterprises reduce operational costs and meet compliance requirements in the early stage!
