Backup as a Service (BaaS/SaaS) architecture
(Web) GUI designed to manage an enterprise service
Service cluster (load balancing + high availability)
Multi-tenant / Multi-client (Roles/Permissions)
Client repositories consolidation but segmentation (security)
Offline data center site restore to LAN Shared Folder, FTP, SSH, CD/DVD
Burn, USB disk/stick (When client s link is down or any other cases)
Full Backup Cycle Management (Backup programing, Restore, Validation,
Verification, Recycle, Reporting)
Client state (error) monitoring
Quota management (email warning configuration)
WAN bandwidth/transmission optimization
Repository encryption (Ciphers key per client)
Virtualized backup servers (is a plus)
Repository deduplication/compression (is a plus)
SNMP backup server healthness monitoring (is a plus)
Licensing scheme based on disk repository size or client numbers.
Over licensing support is needed: due to average time to buy more
licenses while accepting new clients
Unstructured data (compacted database dumps, compressed files, source files, office files)
backup (0.5 – 1 TB daily per client) depending on link type and bandwidth
VMWare/vCenter/Hyper-V/System-Center snaphost generation and backup
GUI designed to assist and help client s backup operators
Neither client side backup appliance nor dedicated backup server (All-in-one 100% software
solution is the expectation)
Active backup agents for unstructured data (Windows/Linux Operating Systems)
Full Backup Cycle Management (Backup Programming, Restore, Validation, Recycle, Reporting)
following roles/permissions assigned by the provider
Backup download and client side GRANULAR restoration
Quota revision (email warning configuration)
Encryption before data transmission
Deduplication/Compression before data transmission (on site processing).
WAN bandwidth optimization and intermittency tolerance (Last byte restart)
Content filter by file type (is a plus)
Virus scanning (is a plus)
Complete and simple recovery procedure from backup client/agent crash
