Data loss: one of the biggest challenges for the IT sector
One of the biggest catastrophes that can befall decentralized SMEs is the loss of their critical data. This can be due to a software or hardware failure , a cyberattack , or human error. Whether the data is stored locally or in the public cloud, it's a real possibility.
Therefore, it is essential to design a disaster recovery plan that ensures data integrity in the event of an unforeseen incident. In this article, we will discuss an application that will help you be prepared.
What do you offer?
The data backup and recovery tool , presented at the past AWS re:Invent 2019 , has been designed for the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) service, belonging to the Amazon Web Services platform.
It is available in both free and paid versions on the AWS Marketplace online software store.
What are its benefits?
This is a versatile and powerful application . On the one hand, it allows you to configure backup creation according to your needs. Backups containing data essential to your company's operations can be archived in a primary backup to minimize your Recovery Time Objective (RTO).
Other backups can be stored as secondary backups. The data will be saved on the Amazon S3 or Amazon S3 Glacier service . You can also choose from different restore types: by volume, instance, and file level.
This program also allows you to control the costs associated with your backup and recovery operations. The Cloud Backup Cost Estimator tool, a handy consumption policy simulator, lets you choose the option that best suits your budget and needs.
Thanks to its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication, an application created by the same developer, the possibilities for managing backups go beyond the public cloud, and include workstations, physical servers and virtual machines.
Furthermore, this solution integrates seamlessly with VMware vCloud, an enterprise software that facilitates the management of major public clouds (including the AWS platform) under the hybrid cloud and multi-cloud scheme.
Protecting your critical data will ensure business continuity, maintain your brand's positive image, and give you a competitive edge. Let AWS help you achieve this.
