Enterprises often rely on their data retention systems to ensure business continuity, customer contracts, compliance, and e-Discovery. Storage optimization is an ongoing process of evaluating your data storage and choosing a cost-effective storage option that meets business needs.
While AWS offers the capability to backup EBS snapshots or AMIs, these bring inherent limitations:
Absence of air-gap environment for data backups, with snapshots managed within the same region as the source. Consequently, any additional copies in another account or region incur setup and storage overheads.
Lack of dedupe capabilities for EBS snapshots, which are incremental but with no snapshot data dedupe.
Options for long-term retention and value-adds such as ransomware protection are significantly limited.
Our Airgap Data Protection solution offers a robust, SaaS-based solution designed to enhance data security and simplify management. With automated backup policies for AWS Workloads, data backups are decoupled from your AWS Organization and securely stored in our secure Cloud, ensuring resilience even in the event of a primary account breach.
Key Benefits
Airgap Cloud storage brings some key advantages:
Cost benefits: Eliminate the need for maintaining multiple backup copies thus considerably reducing costs to maintain. No egress fees for customers while copying data to cross-regions.
Ransomware Recovery: Maintain an offline, physically isolated copy of the backed-up data to protect against ransomware attacks.
Security: Significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access, tampering, or corruption of the backup data by maintaining a physical or logical airgap between the backup copies and the primary data. This enhances data security and integrity, ensuring that reliable copies are available for recovery when needed.
Agentless: No need to maintain or own an agent in the customers' environment, which saves costs for maintaining their environment. 100% SaaS solution.
Automated backups: Scheduled and automated backups of AWS RDS databases, ensuring data consistency and minimizing the risk of data loss.
Lower TCO: Global deduplication to minimize data redundancy and optimize storage utilization.
Scalability: Cloud-native solution that is designed for large enterprise environments.
