Cloud Adopters Are Ahead of The Game

Important triggers for cloud continuity

• No second site or offsite plan, whatsoever

• Significant pain with managing a secondary site

• Significant pain with managing storage

• Using traditional strategies – tape or rotating disk

Wrong choices can be costly!

30% of cloud spending is wasted.

What Cloud to use?

Public / Hyperscale Clouds

Managed Service Providers

Vendor Cloud

© 2017 Unitrends 7

Protect your ideas/business

Align continuity with criticality

Protect Everything You HaveWhich workloads matter the most?

© 2017 Unitrends 8

Focus on individual backup tasks, not business requirements

Leave IT blind about recovery compliance

No confidence in achieving or communicating SLAs

Act only as a cost (insurance policy) rather than a value driver:

Increase productivity

Reduced infrastructure costs

Proactive analytics

Challenge: Most solutions are not business focused

Benefits To YouSimple, affordable (if done right)

Self-managed

Highly dynamic


Benefits To You (with Caution)Offsite compliance

Infinite retention

Pay for what you use


What about a Managed Service Provider?

• Typically a white glove service

• Focus on specific applications

• Aggressive recovery objectives

• Test and prove recovery SLAs

• You will pay more!


Benefits To YouExperts at specific application continuity

Will agree to aggressive recovery SLAs


Should I use a vendor cloud?

• Compliance and DRaaS solutions

• Focus on specific OS platforms

• Fully manage cloud infrastructure

• Can they test and prove recovery SLAs?

• Often moderately priced


Benefits To YouOne vendor for backup and cloud continuity

Experts at recovery from their software

Pay for what you protect


5 Critical Success Factors



1. Understand your needs

2. Select the right cloud storage strategy

3. Avoid unnecessary compute costs

4. Plan for a way back

5. Keep on-premises in mind



Use cases

Recovery SLAs

Budget




Object (ie. Azure Blob)

• Lowest cost

• Most dynamic

• Slowest performing (for most applications)

Block (VM Hard Disk)

• Highest performing (even SSDs)

• Less flexible / dynamic

• Highest cost (also requires compute)





• Significant cost impact

• Up to 70+% of total solution

• Sometimes necessary:

• Enterprise functionality (WAN acceleration, global dedupe, etc.)

• Short, predictable RTOs




Data center

VM Storage




Datacenter

Application consistency

VM best practices

Local instant recovery

Centralized management


How Can Unitrends Help


Boomerang for Cloud Disaster Recovery

Datacenter

• On command, run as Azure or AWS VM• Spin up in Azure or AWS and resume operations• Issue resolved, one-click failback to enterprise

Organize VMs into groups

Manage DR process

Install Unitrends Boomerang virtual appliance

Cloud Storage VM Storage

3 • Replicate and store backups in low-cost Azure or AWS storage

4 Disaster! Outage in Data Center


Purpose-Built for Public Cloud

• Replicates VMware VMs to low-cost cloud storage

• Remodels VMs and networks to native cloud formats

• Uses NO cloud compute for replication

• Automates all steps to deploy/failover

• Automates all steps to bring back


“Pilot Light” – The Impact of Compute Cost

• One (1) A4 General Purpose VM = $0.592 per Hour

100 $23,940 $5,186 $5,760 $34,886 15%


Boomerang requires NO compute for replication!


Key Competitive Differentiators

• Most value on the market

• 1/10th cost of equivalent DR solutions

• “Pilot Light“ capabilities

• Easy to use

• Intuitive and simple to install and setup

• Ease of operations: 1-click deploy, 1-click restore

• Minimize affect on operations

• Agentless -- no change to VMs

• Automates failback of full machines


Pricing: Fully implemented DR for under

$33/month*

*assumes 1 VM @ 500GB


When Boomerang Might Not Be Ideal

• Customer requires VMs with VMDKs >1TB

• Customer must use operating systems that are not supported in Azure or AWS

• Customer requires a solution that works with VMs that cannot take snapshots• iSCSI pass through disks

• Physical RDM disks

• Independent persistent disks

• Customer requires consistent, predictable recovery SLAs


Unitrends Cloud May Help Instead

Solve Boomerang/Azure/AWS limitations

• Backup-based

• Cloud storage seeding for large data sets

• DRaaS for VMware, Hyper-V, and Physical Windows

• 1-HR SLA

• Recovery Assurance –Automated DR Testing & Compliance Reporting


Data loss can occur with Office 365

• Office 365 data lives in the Microsoft cloud, not on a company’s own server

• Deleted email is gone after 14-30 days—totally unrecoverable

• Deleted SharePoint & OneDrive files are gone after 186 days

• Most lost data is due to user error

• Users can choose to permanently delete files & email


Unitrends Cloud Backup for Office 365

It’s a Backup Service; not a product

Long term retention; never deletes data

Easy; automatically discovers new users

No installation required; Unitrends on-boards

customers

Self-service recovery and search

Stays current; takes up to 6 snapshots per day
