Hello Leo Your data requirements are bigger than our current systems, so I am not sure our set of solutions scale to your requirements, but I found that the Barracuda systems offer a fairly competitive and effective onsite business continuity shadow copy as well as offsite cloud backup capabilities.
The backup agents are granular so you can impose different policies to critical/non critical data, the restore agent also offers Thin restore (FTP SFTP etc) or heavier protocols (CIFS NFS) for local network restore. You can also control the rate of transmission, so you can modulate your bandwidth according to requirements. Doron Ben Avraham - IT Manager New Museum Of Contemporary Art TEL : 212.219.1222 x 233 FAX: 212.432.6822 newmuseum.org Greetings to all, SFMOMA is planning a $500m building and endowment expansion during the next four to five years. This expansion will involve, among other things, a significant construction project as well as temporary administrative offices and off site art storage facilities. In the context of this expansion, we are proposing a private cloud solution in Sacramento (Raging Wire) for backup/disaster recovery and business continuity. Currently SFMOMA has about 20TB of data (combination of file system, virtual machines, databases, etc.) which is growing exponentially. I was wondering if any of you are using cloud based services for backup? If so, which service providers are you using? If you do use a cloud based service for backup, how does the service work with your disaster recovery and business continuity strategy (RTO, RPO)? Additionally, what is the pricing model for the services you use and what kind of bandwidth does it require? I realize this is a fairly broad inquiry, but any information you can pass on would be extremely useful for our planning. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
