Enabling Public Cloud Storage

Rapid data growth and strict SLAs are fast reducing the appeal of tape or local disk based data protection solutions. Instead organisations are turning to the cloud to consolidate and reduce the cost of storage.

Whilst private cloud still requires extensive storage management and cost, public cloud storage offers a lower cost per terabyte, is easier to manage, significantly more reliable for backup, archiving and disaster recovery and as a pay-as-you-go service, allows organisations to only pay for the storage they need at any given time.

Until now, there has not been a cost-effective, efficient, and secure way to interface with and use the public cloud. Riverbed Whitewater provides organisations with fast, drop-in access to public cloud storage with local-like performance while requiring no change to your existing backup infrastructure.

The Whitewater appliance has built-in support for cloud storage provider APIs, Riverbed’s industry-leading WAN optimisation and deduplication, and dual-layer encryption for data in motion and at rest. Customers testing Whitewater have experienced backup windows that are 35-40 percent shorter when completing full backups, compared to existing disk backup infrastructure.
