Advantages of Backup as a service

Fast and reliable storage

AWS Object storage is used for storing your critical data. Cloudberry agent is used to push the data to object storage.

Data transfer at just the speed

The data is compressed and backup to reduce backup time, file size and storage cost. After the initial backup of a data set, incremental backup is taken to save the time and storage.

AWS Snowball

is used for initial backup in the case of high data volume to be moved from On-premise to AWS.

Secure data

Data is encrypted at source with AES 256 bit and transmitted over the network. Identity and Access Management (IAM) service is used for four-way authentication. The methods include:

  • User name & password
  • Access / secret key
  • Link based access

B. Disaster Recovery

Disaster Recovery has never been easier and surer. Use NCMME ‘On the Cloud’ DR as a Service. Near zero RTO and RPO. No investments in identical hardware. Easy to implement solution. Always available DR.

The Cloud has drastically changed how IT functions in several domains. Disaster Recovery on the Cloud has evolved to become a quick and reliable implementation. Traditional DR calls for heavy investments in identical hardware, administration and maintenance of remote hot or cold sites with its attendant infrastructure, administrative and people costs.

Introducing NCMME Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
