Traditional Backups• Time: Long/slow recovery time• Money: Capital intensive with ongoing upgrades• Effort: Complex to manage• Quality: Low durability, error prone

Traditional Backups• Backup Software
– Edge to core topologies– Dedicated people
• Tape Silos / Tap Libraries• Tape Drives (LTO-X / DLT / etc)• Virtual Tape Libraries (VTLs)• Tape out / Vaulting• Unified Backup Solutions• Deduplication• Compression• Encryption

Backup Has Changed Over The Years
• Legacy backup software sent data to tape– Slow backup, slower recovery– Limited data reduction– Trucks needed DR off-site copy
• Disk backup enabled innovations– Fast backup, faster restores– Support for Dedupe, CBT– Multiple on-line DR options– Random access to files

Backup is Still Changing
• Explosion of unstructured data, especially digital content• Need for long-term retention• Need for fast, continual file access
© 2015 SoftNAS LLC 14
Backup Systems Are Not
• Backup appliances need to evolve to support new backup data requirements
• Companies are slow to implement these changes• If it isn’t broke…
Storing Backups in the Cloud
© 2015 SoftNAS LLC 16
Why Store Backups in the Cloud?• Availability
– Platform independent– Everywhere– Backups
• Collaborate– Sharing made easy
• Scalability• Intelligent Systems
© 2015 SoftNAS LLC 17
Public Cloud vs Tape
• More and more organizations moving to the public cloud• Lower costs• Quickly find and recover data
© 2015 SoftNAS LLC 18
How To Fix Backup Storage?
• Greater throughput– Faster backups while deduplicating– Faster recovery of large files
• Incremental capacity scaling– Makes growth easy, scalable
• Better resiliency– HA design
