Backup-as-a-Service: immutable data protection, secured to PROTECTED

AUCloud Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) provides cost-effective immutable backup and ransomware protection of operational data at the OFFICIAL and PROTECTED security levels 

The need for data protection is driven by differing organisational requirements – legal requirement to retain documents for a period of time, cybersecurity strategies, or simply business continuity best practice to guard against accidental data loss or deletion.

Similarly, there are several data protection solutions that have traditionally been used – tape backups, on-site server redundancy, even manual data dumps to USB! These solutions all share common issues – inability to scale, lack of control, capital expenditure cost and manageability challenges.

Cloud backups are the natural evolution for these data protection solutions as they solve the core issues of cost, complexity and scalability. However, cloud backups are increasingly becoming targets for encryption during a ransomware attack, and Australian Data Sovereignty requirements mean many solutions are not applicable for government agencies and critical national industry organisations.

Introducing AUCloud Backup-as-a-Service

AUCloud BaaS allows customers to backup AUCloud hosted VMs and provides a highly secure external backup target for your on-premise VMs and data. With AUCloud BaaS you can restore complete VMs or individual files and folders from VMs. 

Depending on your disaster recovery and business continuity requirements, you should also consider the AUCloud Disaster Recovery service. You can realise significant cost savings when using both.

Data security is in our DNA. 

Flexible, secure, immutable cloud data protection

SECURED TO PROTECTED

AUCloud is engineered to PROTECTED, IRAP certified, a Certified Strategic Cloud Provider and secured with industry leading cyber security monitoring.

SCALABLE CLOUD

Manage backup, retention and restoration holistically through AUCloud’s feature-rich, user-friendly portal, which gives visibility of which VMs are protected and enables the definition of detailed backup policies.

RANSOMWARE PROTECTION

Object Lock protected data that prevents backups from being encrypted and held to ransom.

AUCloud Backup Recovery Point Objective (RPO) can be as low as minutes while Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is dependent on how quicky your administrator can recover and reinstate the VMs.

COST CERTAINTY

No hidden or additional costs such as data ingress and egress fees.

Why is AUCloud BaaS the solution for you?

RANSOMWARE PROTECTION

Underpinned by Cloudian Object Lock ransomware protection, objects are stored using a write-once-read-many (WORM) model, preventing backup data modification or deletion during a user-defined retention period. Immutable data backup protects you from encryption by ransomware attacks and provides assurance that your operational data can be restored in the event of an attack. Your business continuity is assured with no fuss.

USER FRIENDLY

Seamless integration with vCloud Director enables you to provision data stores and VMs through the same interface – saving time and money. And using our feature rich, user-friendly portal you can manage backup, retention and restoration holistically and define detailed backup policies.

FLEXIBILITY TO MATCH YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS AND BUDGET

Individual file tracking, the ability to restore in bulk or individually and flexibility to store recent backup files on high performance storage and move longer term backups to lower cost object storage ensures you manage your workloads to meet your needs and budget.

CAAF ASSESSED WITH MULTIPLE AUTHORITIES TO OPERATE
