Dell APEX Backup Services Cloud -Native Support

Dell F.A.C.T.S (Fun, Accurate, Content, Trustworthy, Sharing)

Good morning, and Happy Halloween! For this week's Dell F.A.C.T.S., we will focus on a few Dell Data Protection Solutions that will help protect your data from evil ghosts and goblins (bad actors).

Dell’s APEX Backup Services (ABS) is releasing Backup Services for Azure VMs. This is an agentless solution for Azure that provides organizations with secure, air-gapped backups of Azure VM data, protecting against cyber threats at a lower cost without complex management.

Business challenges - ?????

• Microsoft’s Azure Backup service is costly and complex
• Azure Backup offers no air-gap/ransomware protection
• Managing, protecting, and securing data across on-premises and cloud environments is complex
• Don’t want to use separate BaaS for every cloud
• Organizations are increasing their footprint in Azure

Benefits

• Save up to 50% on storage costs by eliminating the need for Azure Backup storage redundancy, no egress costs, and global deduplication.
• Protect your Azure VM backup data in a secure, air-gapped environment outside your Azure tenant, safeguarding it from unauthorized access.
• Simply recover your Azure VMs and their associated disk storage to your Azure subscription and region of choice.
• Discover Azure VMs with multiple Azure subscriptions, allowing quick and secure onboarding.

A recent comment after a customer demo. “This is exactly what we have been looking for!”

Now, let's focus on Cloud-native for AWS workloads. Below is a link to five minute I put together that, at a high level, will provide an overview of our backup capabilities for AWS.

Have a great day, and Happy Halloween from my family.
