More and more enterprises adopt multi-cloud architecture, data management and protection in multi-cloud environment is undoubtedly the future development trend, through a set of architecture to simplify the past relatively complex backup and archiving work is the inevitable direction. Shanyan's latest backup and storage all-in-one machine caters to the needs of enterprises and realizes unified backup, centralized management and multiple utilization of data, which not only prepares data, but also makes good use of data, and helps enterprises cope with the challenge of mass backup and storage.

1. The demands of enterprises are changing, and secondary storage has become the new favorite of CIO.

Once upon a time, "backup software + tape library" was the standard for data backup. Backing up data in time and restoring access as needed is the main demand of enterprises for backup scheme. However, in the current surge in the scale of data in various industries, how to safely back up a large amount of data, how to achieve unified management of backup data, and how to give full play to the potential value of backup data has become a new issue of concern to CIO. The second storage is the product that is born to better meet the demand of "backup + storage".

According to a survey conducted by an authoritative organization, the new demands of enterprises for data backup at this stage are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Centralized management of backup data

In the past, there were multiple copies of the data, which were used for testing, analysis, disaster preparedness and so on. This will lead to a waste of space, and easy to form islands; and inconvenient management, there is a risk of data leakage. How to centralize management, simplify operation and maintenance and improve security is the primary problem to be solved in the second storage.

Backup data from "save" to "use"

The emergence of cloud computing, big data and intelligent applications not only brings huge amounts of data, but also provides tools for data analysis and utilization. Originally, enterprises only care about whether the backup data can be well stored and recovered when needed; now, enterprises are also concerned about whether the backup data can be used, mining data value with the help of new technology, and promoting business development in depth.

Better performance and cost

The amount of core business data is small, and the amount of non-core business data is often large, especially for data analysis applications, which need a large amount of storage space. The storage and backup of these data need to take into account capacity, performance and cost. This is an important index to measure the quality of the second storage.

As a rising star in the backup field, secondary storage is characterized by natural adaptation to a cloudy environment, centralized management of backup and archived data, and online access while supporting multiple requirements such as data analysis, development and testing, and disaster recovery backup.

2. The traditional solution for backing up data from "saving" to "using" is stretched.

In the field of backup and archiving, the most common is the traditional centralized backup scheme, that is, through the backup software + tape library. However, with the explosive growth and unpredictability of backup data, the traditional backup scheme is not the best choice for enterprises.

Limited backup capacity: traditional backup solutions are limited by architecture, and a single set of configuration can only provide 100 TB backup space, so it is difficult to meet the needs of massive data backup above PB level in multi-cloud environment.

Backup cost is high: in a traditional backup scheme, enterprises not only have to pay the backup software license fee (generally charged according to backup capacity), backup hardware cost (including server / disk / tape equipment, etc.), but also bear the high annual maintenance costs, the overall cost is increasing year by year.

Complex management and deployment: most enterprises lack of professional staffing, daily software updates, system adjustments and backup media management and maintenance, in the massive data scenarios have a large workload.

Lack of value utilization: under the traditional backup mode, the data can not be accessed flexibly, and it is more difficult to analyze and utilize the data. Data backup only consumes the storage cost of the enterprise, but can not create additional economic value.

Doubts about traditional backup schemes are not groundless. According to the Gartner report, most enterprises are dissatisfied with the current backup infrastructure, and it is expected that by 2022, 40% of organizations will replace the backup facilities they deployed in early 2018, and 19% of enterprises have already adopted SDS (Software defined Storage) for backup and archiving of data.

It is not difficult to see that traditional backup has great limitations. The new backup scheme based on SDS has become a new choice for CIO because of its flexible structure, convenient management and cost advantages.

3. Shanyan backup and storage all-in-one machine: let the backup data "dead wood in the spring"

As a deep ploughing practitioner of SDS, Shanyan launched a new backup and storage all-in-one machine, which provides enterprises with products and services integrating backup and archiving, unified management and value utilization, relying on four major features, to help enterprises cope with the backup and storage challenges of the massive data era.

Massive backup, scale-out

Based on the distributed architecture, each data node has the ability to concurrently undertake backup functions, to solve the problem of low cost performance of traditional backup, through horizontal expansion, to achieve real-time growth of backup performance and capacity.

Pre-integrated software, open choice

Open architecture SDS pre-integrated a variety of backup software to choose from, according to the demand to flexibly match the backup scheme, give play to the advantages of different backup software in different scenarios, users do not need to install separately, high deployment efficiency, fast business launch.

Multi-protocol access to support rich applications

Shanyan backup and storage all-in-one machine provides file, block and object services, so that the second storage has a more comprehensive access to support development and testing, disaster recovery drills, data analysis and other diverse requirements.

Automatic management of whole life cycle

According to the lifecycle management strategy, the data in the second storage can be automatically archived to public cloud or Blu-ray storage to achieve high-capacity, low-cost, long-term preservation of data.

Tushanyan backup storage all-in-one machine

For enterprises, the value of Shanyan backup storage all-in-one machine is not only to "prepare" the data, but also to "use" the data. Centralized management of backup data, reducing manual dependence through visual operation and maintenance, can ensure data security and reduce the risk of leakage; a set of products can not only meet the storage requirements of PB to EB, but also achieve in-depth use of backup data with the help of development platform; the backup and storage of SDS architecture is integrated, hardware resources are expanded as needed, and the overall cost can be saved by more than 30%.

Shanyan backup storage all-in-one machine, so that backup data can also be "dead wood every spring", is an excellent choice for enterprise data "storage + backup".
