How to Create an Infrastructure-less Backup Strategy

Designing architectures to backup primary storage as well as provide rapid recoveries is a challenging task that most IT professionals need to face. It is even more challenging in the face of a rapidly growing data set, increasing demand for shorter recovery times and new threats like ransomware. The cost for IT to design, implement, maintain and upgrade these infrastructures can consume a big part of the IT budget. Additionally, the time required for each of these steps is something that most IT teams simply don’t have. As a result, many organizations are looking for ways to move to an infrastructure-less architecture where most of the physical hardware is in the cloud as well as the software intelligence. The goal is to move data protection from a very unpredictable CAPEX cost to a normalized OPEX cost. There are an increasing number of cloud solutions that claim an infrastructure-less solution but many of these solutions force the organization to give up many of the capabilities they’ve come to count on or force them into long-term cloud relationships. Attendees to the webinar will learn the challenges of maintaining an on-premises infrastructure, why current cloud solutions fall short and what IT really needs from an infrastructure-less solution.
