This document discusses considerations for a cloud backup solution. It notes that traditional on-premise backup solutions can be costly due to data growth requiring constant hardware upgrades. A cloud backup service offers utilities pricing that can save up to 40% over traditional approaches by paying for only what is used. It also eliminates capacity planning issues and vendor lock-in. The document recommends starting with a pilot project and analyzing data policies to ensure a smooth transition to cloud backup.

Data Protection Modernization - Restore, Reuse, ReinventPaula Koziol
We all have to backup data – but it’s often expensive and difficult, and the data we protect generally sits there doing absolutely nothing (unless you really need it). As IT environments change IBM believes that there needs to be a way to unlock value from your backup data. VM Admins, developers, application owners would love to be able to easily access their own backup data for a number of re-use purposes such as testing, development, reporting or analytics.
IBM Spectrum Protect Plus can simplify the backup process whilst making data readily available for the people who really need it - addressing traditional backup needs such as compliance alongside modern data re-use and self service capabilities.
The more you use your data, the more valuable it is.

Virtual SAN vs Good Old SANs: Can't they just get along?DataCore Software
Dark forces in the IT industry like to polarize popular opinion; most recently they argue for keeping all the storage in the servers using Virtual SANs, leaving nothing external. These sudden mood swings, while attracting a young cult following, lose sight of lessons learned over the past 20 years.
Truth is, a blend of internal storage close to the apps with good old fashioned external secondary storage out on the network makes a heck of a lot of sense.
In this presentation, Senior Analyst Jim Bagley from SSG-NOW, shows the not so black-and-white considerations driving customers to tap into the internal storage resources of clustered servers. Also, it provides some practical guidance on how to incorporate existing storage arrays and even public cloud capacity into your Virtual SAN rollout

NEC Backup as a Service reduces administrative tasks, helping it departments...InteractiveNEC
Cloud solutions continue to grow not only in adoption but also in importance in customer IT strategies. In typical risk-averse practices, cloud solutions were initially used near the fringes of IT environments, delivering test and development functions far outside most of the core mission-critical workloads sustaining internal and external business operations. Likewise, customers in regulated industries such as healthcare or government were initially wary of the security and performance of services delivered from third-party data centers. These dynamics are changing rapidly, however, as both the customer and vendor behavior around cloud have matured considerably. Cloud providers have expanded their data center locations, added almost every flavor of regulatory compliance, and enhanced security capabilities. These developments have dramatically lowered the traditional barriers to cloud adoption, allowing customers in almost any industry to have at least the possibility of deploying most of their workloads through cloud delivery methods.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

How to control costs
With average annual data growth running at around 40%, the traditional approach to backup
means more capital expenditure on servers, VTLs, tape libraries and software. Escalating
procurement of tapes, maintenance and support contracts all add to a bigger management
headache.
Research shows that the vast majority of firms admit they
do not know what backup costs.
What you should be looking to achieve is shifting IT focus
back on to the project that make a difference, store your
data on appropriate tiers, and pay for what you use not
what you forecast.
Take advantage of utility pricing to save up to 40% over traditional approaches.
5. 5
Dealing with capacity issues
Getting your forecast for requirements up to 3 years in advance is often more luck than
judgement. Too much and you have overpaid, too little and your storage array or VTL
fills up or you run out of tapes.
Often it leads to quick fixes, you may have to
tactically expire data early just to create space and
it turns into an ongoing headache. Chances are
you will be going back to buy more capacity at
some point.
Why should capacity be your issue? Why not pay for what you use regardless of
whether your data grows or shrinks.
6. 6
Breaking vendor stranglehold
Vendors are very keen to keep you in a re-fresh stranglehold, why wouldn’t they?
They have been making hay for decades thanks to the lack of
alternatives.
The cycle of refresh, end of life decisions means more Capital
Investment, another round of support contracts and is
estimated refresh projects take up to 20% of IT teams
time.
New technology or change means new skills and training,
maybe new employees. Then what to do about the legacy?
Can you honestly say your vendor has your interests in delivering a service at heart?
7. 7
What happens when the call comes?
Backup’s primary function is providing the ability to recover
from a disaster, and it is neither quick nor straightforward: in
fact, it’s sufficiently challenging that many organisations
simply bury their heads in the sand and don’t test DR.
An SLA is your insurance policy. When you do get a recovery
request you can be safe in the knowledge that this will be
dealt with.
8. 8
Strategy and a future roadmap
Cloud is where the market is going but many organisations believe it is just for start-
ups with little on-premise infrastructure. Many are also unsure if a cloud solution will
work for them and if it did where we would even start.
The approach is a key step and making sure that the right solution is put in place not
just for the present but for the future.
10. 10
A cloud backup service is not just the storage but includes software and hardware on a
pay per use basis and wrapped with a robust SLA.
Increase performance AND save money - Cloud backup is typically 10-40% cheaper than
the TCO of running in house (more on that later) as well as offering improved service
levels through high backup success rates and negligible long-term failures.
One less management overhead - One of the key benefits. You no longer need to worry
about managing the backup operation, reporting, data growth, capacity, kit refresh or
having enough tapes as the entire function becomes the supplier’s responsibility.
Speed of restore - Onsite appliances are the crucial piece of the cloud backup jigsaw,
providing restores as fast as your network can deliver them for anything up to a months
backups.
It’s where the market is going - More and more companies are realising that the
adoption of cloud allows them to concentrate on their core business by handing over
their IT needs to suppliers. It also enables you to move other services into the cloud
Disaster Recovery is the most obvious example, but there are others for which backup is
a stepping stone.
12. 12
Work out the business case so you can sell the idea internally
What are the financial implications on moving to the cloud? Consider in particular the
expiry of licences and equipment write-downs – you may need to get some budget for
the latter.
Start with a pilot
The beauty of backup is that you can run two processes in parallel. Test cloud backup on
at least part of your environment before taking the plunge.
Analyse your data and make sure your policies are appropriate
Storing data unnecessarily means incurring cost you can do without, and this applies in
the cloud just as it does with proprietary solutions.
Work out what you are going to do with your legacy data
Retaining your legacy data is an important consideration, but so is minimising costs.
Realise those cost savings!
Once cloud backup is live, get after the savings by decommissioning backup servers and
tape libraries and freeing up datacentre space. Terminate hardware and software
maintenance and tape storage agreements. Redeploy staff.
