About TurboTier for Enterprise Workloads

Learn about TurboTier (formerly CloudCache) for Enterprise Workloads

TurboTier (formerly CloudCache) is a dedicated server designed to locally store up to 90 days of backup data from Enterprise Workloads agents, and then periodically synchronize this data to Cloud.

It is deployed within remote office locations to ensure local connections, which accelerates backups and restores of local data. Administrators can schedule synchronization operations to Cloud during off-peak hours, optimizing WAN bandwidth usage.

📝 Notes

  • If a retention period greater than 30 days is selected, it will increase your storage consumption.

  • ​Even when configured in a local LAN environment, Enterprise Workloads agents require a WAN connection to Cloud during backup to TurboTier. This connection is used to synchronize metadata with Cloud while backing up data to TurboTier.

TurboTier Highlights

  • Local Storage: Stores up to 30 days of backup data locally.

  • Periodic Synchronization: Data is synchronized to Cloud periodically.

  • Deployment: Installed at remote office locations for local connectivity.

  • Scheduling: Synchronization can be scheduled during off-peak hours.

Why use TurboTier

Consider deploying TurboTier if:

  • You have limited WAN bandwidth at remote offices, which may delay the first backup due to the large volume of data.

  • You are backing up servers at existing and new remote offices for the first time.

  • You need to reduce downtime for mission-critical restores.

Benefits of TurboTier

  • Optimized WAN Bandwidth: Schedule synchronization during off-peak hours to optimize WAN bandwidth usage.

  • Reduced Backup Time: Backup large data volumes via LAN, significantly reducing backup time.

  • Faster Restores: Data on TurboTier can be restored during the predefined retention period, reducing WAN bandwidth demand.
