GEC NEWS WIRENew AltaVault solutions and services help customers unlock cloud economics, while preserving existing investments in their backup strategy
To meet the instant recovery and minimal data loss demands, NetApp has introduced NetApp AltaVault, previously SteelStore, cloud-integrated storage solutions and services, which will provide customers with the ability to quickly backup data to any cloud at up to 90 percent less cost than on-premises solutions.
“A hybrid cloud backup strategy incorporating NetApp AltaVault solutions delivers compelling economics, speed and security so organizations can meet their backup and recovery service levels,” said Phil Brotherton, vice president, Cloud Solutions Group, NetApp.
Jason Buffington, senior analyst for data protection at ESG says, “Customers of all sizes that are looking to easily add cloud-storage to their existing (or new) data protection topology would be well served to look at cloud-gateways that are specifically designed for data protection scenarios – like NetApp’s AltaVault.”
The new AltaVault solution, which includes physical, virtual (VMware ESX and Microsoft Hyper-V), and cloud-based (AWS and Azure) appliances, addresses the customers challenges while integrating with existing backup software to preserve prior investments.
AltaVault cloud-based appliances are currently available for purchase on the AWS marketplace, cloud-based appliances are planned to be available for purchase on the Azure marketplace later in CY2015.
