Infrascale’s Cloud Backup Accelerator offers disruptive cloud-centric approach to backup
Infrascale launched Wednesday a new hybrid cloud backup and recovery offering which brings down capital expenditure costs by almost 70 percent, while overcoming Internet bandwidth bottlenecks of traditional cloud backup and the shortcomings of appliance-based backup to deliver a specialized cloud gateway for backup. Instead of buying a large backup appliance, which typically is provisioned for extra storage to accommodate future growth, users can now purchase a lean backup system with more cloud storage.

Can the Cloud Consolidate the Backup of Endpoints, Laptops and Servers?
Every few years the backup consolidation project shows up on IT’s whiteboard. The objective of this exercise seems noble enough; consolidate point solutions so that the data protection process can be simplified, while at the same time increasing protection quality and lowering costs. But most backup consolidation efforts unravel within a few years. The Achilles heel of backup consolidation is change, and many small to medium sized enterprises (SME) have given up hope of ever creating a single consolidated data protection solution.

What is Hybrid Cloud Backup?
One of the key challenges to any data protection strategy is deciding where to store data and how to get that data off-site. Initially in most environments, all backups were stored on tape. Those tapes were then packaged up and shipped to an off-site location. Then disk-based backup appliances came to market and, leveraging deduplication, were able to replicate data directly to a remote location. Each of these had challenges and the cloud is being viewed as a way to overcome those challenges. But the cloud also has problems, especially in terms of recovery. As a result, a mix or hybrid approach is now being offered as the nirvana of data protection.
