KANATA, ON – May 23, 2017 — /BackupReview.info/ — HubStor Inc. today announced new cloud backup and recovery capabilities designed to streamline enterprise backup and disaster recovery strategies for the cloud era.
Organizations store vast amounts of unstructured data which they seldom delete. The result is a storage footprint with 80% to 90% of the data being inactive or rarely accessed. Traditional backup systems will make a copy of whatever is on the source system, and in a recovery scenario, the recovery time objective (RTO) lengthens because the backup restores the full copy containing mostly stale data onto the source system.
The problem intensifies as companies look to use the cloud for backup and as an offsite data protection strategy. Not only does the customer pay for all the data transfer and storage activity to fetch the large backups containing mostly old data, but they also incur a significant hit on their network connection to download it.
Current cloud backup best practices will mitigate having to restore from the cloud by recommending that you keep your most recent backups on-premises. As a result, backup to the cloud is primarily used for non-critical data, and traditional backup is used for critical data that requires a short recovery time objective. However, this is expensive and time-consuming to configure and maintain.
HubStor’s patent-pending cloud recovery innovation sidesteps the physical limits as to how much data can be moved in a given amount of time over a network connection, thus making cloud backup a viable standard approach.
HubStor is an archive system or secondary storage tier in the cloud that, like a backup, captures a point-in-time snapshot of the source system on an automated schedule. In essence, HubStor maintains a synthetic full backup in the cloud with deduplication, compression, and encryption.
Unlike traditional backup, HubStor also includes the ability to virtualize or ghost targeted subsets of the data in the data source through policies. This results in converting the stale data into small pointer files which seamlessly perform a recall when a user or application opens them.
In a data loss recovery scenario, whether data has already been ghosted or not, HubStor now offers the flexibility to leverage data ghosting to recover a portion of the dataset from the archive/secondary storage tier as full originals while everything else virtualizes in the source as seamless pointers.
This innovation by HubStor provides the following game-changing advantages:
In the cloud backup, there is a minimum of three synchronous copies of the data, and clients can upgrade to have three additional copies in a secondary cloud datacenter.
For organizations concerned with malicious or accidental activity against their cloud storage account, HubStor can also create a backup copy of the data in a shadow cloud storage account.
HubStor’s advantages as an ongoing synthetic full backup of file share data also include the following:
“Our new cloud recovery features position HubStor as a leading alternative to traditional backup,” said Greg Campbell, CTO, HubStor. “When you compare the cost, value, and effort between HubStor and classic backup and recovery methods, what HubStor now offers is truly game-changing.”
The new HubStor cloud recovery features are available now. Existing HubStor clients gain access to the functionality by just downloading the latest version of the HubStor Export Utility following an update of their HubStor tenant.
