Cloud computing is revolutionizing the IT industry and is bringing many new benefits Free up Capital BudgetsMove CAPEX to OPEXPredictable and Consistent Expenses - No hidden costs: - Private Cloud (buying a second box) Additional costs of location, admin, power/cooling, upgrades, tech refreshes,Only pay for what you need todayScalable, Flexible SolutionsSimplify OperationsNo hardware or software to maintainCapEx – spend it on BU, not someone more strategic I know upfront what it’s going to cost me bc it’s based on capacity.Additional costs of location, admin, power/cooling, upgrades, tech refreshes, The hidden costs of doing it yourself
There is a lot of hype around the cloud right now, how can you determine where to start with the cloud?
It turns our data protection is a great place to start with cloud computing and allows companies of all sizes to implement data protection best practices. Data protection best practice calls for a second copy of your data on site and a third copy offsite. Allows for tertiary copy Cloud backup aligns with best practice by providing the third Copy in the Cloud. In addition to this, some companies also require the off site copy be managed by a 3rd party. Again, Cloud makes this possible Enables DP Best PracticesEffective Resource Maximization Backup up is admin/task heavyReallocate staff and resources to more mission critical projectsMinimal RiskBackup is a Secondary ProcessMinimal RiskBackup is a secondary process
Is it a Business-Class or Consumer-Class Solution?Does it fit into your standard acquisition process today – roles/responsibilities/authority – or can anyone with a company credit card buy cloudEhat happens when you do have a problem? Is there a call desk 7x24x265 with PEOPLE THAT ANSWER THE PHONE? What protection does it address?Do they protect just files and memories or do they protect files, applications, Oss, preferences, etc..Do they protect Windows onlyCan it protect both physical and virtual data? What is the integration process?Can you use your existing backup application or Is it a rip and replace model?How does it leverage your existing infrastructure. Does it support all backup applications including OST support How scalable is it? What is included:How do they charge? Most charge for capacity AND I/O transactions AND BandwidthHow do they optimize the data for maximum efficiency? Do they De-Dupe?Do you they require a Cloud Gateway?Who can you trustsome cloud companies, here today, gone tomorrowcompany size, history, future and area of expertise
Goal of this slide: Provide high level overview of the unique benefits of Q-Cloud which will be covered in more detail to follow.Cloud benefits recap (discussed earlier)Free up Capital BudgetsMove CAPEX to OPEXPredictable and Consistent ExpensesNo hidden costsOnly pay for what you need todayScalable, flexibleSimplify OperationsNo hardware or software to maintainIn addition to all the benefits of the cloud, Quantum’s Q-Cloud offers the additional benefits of: Business Class Protection at Consumer Cloud Pricing Industry Leading Cost Efficiency – starting at just 1 cent a gb/month Simple Integration with your existing infrastructure Peace of Mind that others don’t offer with both hardware and software solutions
We will follow up with an email in the next couple of days with this slide deck. Please visit Quantum.com or call us if you have any questions.
