- 28. © 2017 Unitrends28 “Pilot Light” – The Impact of Compute Cost • One (1) A4 General Purpose VM = $0.592 per Hour # of VMs DR Budget Items (annual) Cloud Storage (annual) Total DR Budget (annual) Compute % (of Total DR Budget) Boomerang EC2 Compute 5 $1,197 $5,186 $288 $6,671 78% 10 $2,394 $5,186 $576 $8,156 64% 25 $5,985 $5,186 $1,440 $12,611 41% 50 $11,970 $5,186 $2,880 $20,036 26% 100 $23,940 $5,186 $5,760 $34,886 15%
- 29. © 2017 Unitrends29 Boomerang requires NO compute for replication!
- 30. © 2017 Unitrends30 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
- 31. © 2017 Unitrends31 Pricing: Fully implemented DR for under $33/month* *assumes 1 VM @ 500GB
- 32. © 2017 Unitrends32 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
- 33. © 2017 Unitrends33 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
- 34. © 2017 Unitrends34 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
- 35. © 2017 Unitrends35 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

Editor's Notes
- #2 Thanks I appreciate you joining today Hope not to take too much of your time And if we’re lucky, I’ll have helped you learned some interesting things for organization’s backup and continuity needs
- #3 Key message: Technology is constantly changing – from physical to virtual to cloud and in a million other ways And it creates growth that far outpaces the people that implement and manage it The gray line that’s flat…that’s you
- #4 Key message: Ransomware is just one example (CBT) of how this rapid change brings significant risk to an organization It’s affecting more than half of enterprises And more than 60% of businesses have been down more than a day from it
- #5 Key message: This is where I think cloud adopters are really ahead of the game. Leveraging cloud helps to alleviate these pain points BUT ONLY IF DONE IN THE RIGHT WAY
- #6 The biggest monster of all Not just about ransomware Can put us out of business, or at least out of a job
- #7 What is not mentioned is private cloud!
- #10 When it comes to Backup and Continuity there are 5 key use cases we’ll talk about today These are ways we see the most people using Azure today in our space
- #11 Key messages: Let’s start with these two
- #12 Key message: Operations are pretty similar… Just slight differences
- #15 Run through the examples Be caution of bandwidth and recovery needs Not always a huge fan of online backup at any type of scale, but it provides a great target for SaaS backup (cloud-to-cloud)
- #17 Run through the examples Be caution of bandwidth and recovery needs Not always a huge fan of online backup at any type of scale, but it provides a great target for SaaS backup (cloud-to-cloud)
- #21 These have an impact on the other success factors and decisions.
- #22 The storage strategy used can be important to cost. The solution you use can force one or the other.
- #23 Usually a bad thing to use compute, but there are some good reasons.
- #24 Regardless of your use case, make sure you can get the data back For backups, recovery should be flexible and granular to ensure fastest recovery back on-premises For full machines and DR, you always want to be sure getting machines back is not an afterthought. Build this into your core decision-making strategy Additionally, this story might actually be related to inter-cloud use cases, specifically when talking about protecting Azure VMs So it’s not about coming backup, but having a secondary cloud location so there’s redundancy
- #25 Regardless of your use case, make sure you can get the data back For backups, recovery should be flexible and granular to ensure fastest recovery back on-premises For full machines and DR, you always want to be sure getting machines back is not an afterthought. Build this into your core decision-making strategy
- #27 Azure Example Organize VMs store backups in low cost Blob storage Declare disaster & spin-up as Azure VMs using VM storage Resume operations in the cloud Failback to enterprise when ready
- #28 Key message: Summary of what it does and what it means to be purpose built for cloud DR and migration
- #29 Key message: This is how important it is to avoid compute costs at all times for basic replication. Our competitors don’t do this
- #31 Key differentiation: Purpose built for low-cost, insanely simple DRaaS and migration. Review points Operational efficiencies Intuitive GUI Auto discover, group and display VMs Agent-free; takes a snapshot of VMs without shutting down servers Optimize frequency, timing of backups Secure via military-grade encryption Minimize downtime and impact Industry’s fastest time download to replication (< 1 hr.) Rapid recovery with fast rehydration of up to date backups
- #32 Key message: We talked about how important meeting a budget was… The pricing here is very aggressive to ensure that not just those with large IT budgets can help their organizations stay afloat when downtime strikes
- #33 Key message: Important to be honest
- #34 Key message: Purpose-built, enterprise cloud solutions can help in those cases
- #36 Key message: The details of how it works. Value of 6 snapshots vs MS protection?? Rapid set-up—nothing to install Automatic, hands-off backup In your control—Self-service recovery Business continuity—recovery in just seconds Continuity—Lost email restored in just a few clicks Business protection—Unlimited retention Secure—encryption Priced simply—per user per month
- #38 Key messages: How we’re helping folks solve these problems with Azure Primary focus on DR We’ll leave the last two as teasers for a future discussion
