Why Move Backup and Disaster
Recovery To The Cloud
Traditionally, businesses have cobbled together multiple software
solutions to address disaster recovery (DR), backup and archival as part
of a larger data protection practice. Today, the public cloud’s reliability,
security, and scalability offers the transformational potential to move
disparate workloads to a single cloud platform for greater efficiency
and agility.
Review these 20 real-world business reasons to move backup, archival
and disaster recovery (DR) to a single, native cloud platform.
Backup and Restore
1. Automatically protect data without the need for expensive on-site hardware and
administrative overhead.
2. The OpEX model (versus CapEX) enables enterprises to pay only for what is used, improving
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
3. Reliable, durable, fast and cost-effective data recovery enabled by an enterprise-grade multi-
region public cloud infrastructure.
4. Your data can be is fully encrypted in transit and at rest with no vendor access to your data.
Disaster Recovery (DR)
5. Eliminate the need to replicate your production system in full at a secondary compay managed
data center. DR is available on demand in the cloud.
6. Replicated virtual machines can be pushed to any global location, making spin-up in the event
of disaster efficient.
7. With virtual machines replicated off-site, system downtime (and its resulting impact on
productivity) can be reduced to minutes.
8. Cloud-based systems enable enterprises to store replicated virtual machines to multiple
different storage regions for even greater protection and redundancy.
CHECKLIST
By 2018, more than 60% of
enterprises will have at least
half of their infrastructure
on cloud-based platforms.

Archival
9. More efficient storage combined with a best of breed deduplication technology allows for data
to be cost effectively retained long term.
10. Streamlining the archival process lowers cost and eliminates reliance on tape, which is an error-
prone and manual process.
11. Because the data is stored in the cloud, it’s at the ready for data mining, legal and
compliance needs.
Test and Development
12. Test/Dev replicated systems can be instantly spun-up as needed, on demand, with no dedicated
hardware or software for greater flexibility and speed.
13. By leveraging a copy of a virtual machine in the cloud, tests and validation can be run against
a copy of the production data with no interference to critical production environments.
14. A single replicated virtual machine can be centrally managed and replicated as much as
needed, even across geographies so test/dev can be easily managed around the clock.
15. No need for separate Test/Dev systems as you can repurpose available virtual machines.
Data Analytics
16. Analyze backed up data to understand risks and challenges around dormant data, storage
growth and data classification.
17. A cloud storage model can increase visibility into existing data which can then be better
leveraged for additional business value.
Converged Architecture
18. It’s a single data source – not multiple data sources – so you save on resources spent moving
data across systems, and eliminate redundancies.
19. Organizations can turn on/off services on-demand by leveraging an existing public cloud
account such as AWS or Azure.
20. Converge multiple workloads together in a ‘single pane of glass’ while gaining the
assurance that your data, stored on the public cloud infrastructure, adheres to global data
privacy regulations.
Gain 20 business benefits when you choose a unified solution for moving backup and DR to the cloud as part of a larger
cloud migration strategy.
