Deployment considerations
The optimum deployment for CloudCache depends on the size and amount of activity that you expect your Druva setup to handle. In most cases, we recommend that you analyze your organization’s needs to determine the aspects described in this section. For assistance with setting up CloudCache, contact the Support.
Licensing considerations
CloudCache license comes bundled with the Enterprise and Elite editions.
📝 Note
CloudCache is not available for the Business edition.
Location considerations
We recommend installing CloudCache within the perimeter of each remote office location. A local installation of CloudCache ensures that Hybrid Workloads agents can connect to CloudCache through Local Area Network (LAN). This ensures faster backups and restores to and from CloudCache. In a production environment, we recommend that you configure one CloudCache for each remote office location.
Sizing and setup considerations
To ensure that CloudCache can handle multiple backup and restore requests, you must set an optimum size for CloudCache. You must also plan for the number of CloudCache instances that you require at your remote office locations.
The size of CloudCache and the number of CloudCache installations that you require depend on the factors, such as:
The number of servers that you want to back up.
The type of data backed up.
Size of the backup data (including incremental backups).
To know more about deployment considerations, contact Support.
Resources considerations
The prerequisites for CloudCache depend on factors, such as the size of backup data and the number of backup sets that are mapped to the CloudCache. To know the exact prerequisites for your setup, contact Support.
📝 Note
In general, we recommend that in a production environment, you install CloudCache on a dedicated server.
Workload considerations
Currently, two versions of CloudCache are available – CloudCache R1 and CloudCache R3.
For more information, see About CloudCache.
Backup set mapping considerations
You can map one, multiple, or all the backup sets to a single instance of a CloudCache. You can also choose a one-to-one mapping of the backup sets and the CloudCache.
The mapping approach that you choose depends on your organization's policies. We recommend that you ensure that your CloudCache has sufficient storage to address the requirements of the assigned backup sets.
