About Cloud Scale Technology
Cloud Scale Technology redefines data management for the next decade. Its service elasticity and modern web-scale technologies enables the NetBackup to operate cloud-natively within a cloud yet deliver a consistent experience across multiple clouds to improve cloud return on investment (ROI), service resiliency, and security while reducing operational complexity and costs.
The solution facilitates an orchestrated deployment of the following components on Kubernetes clusters:
NetBackup: You can deploy NetBackup on the Kubernetes clusters of AWS or Azure for scaling the capacity of the NetBackup host to server large number of requests concurrently running on the NetBackup primary server at its peak performance capacity.
MSDP Scaleout: In addition to the NetBackup components namely primary and media servers, the deduplication engine (1 to 16) replicas may also be deployed.
NetBackup Snapshot Manager: You can deploy NetBackup Snapshot Manager with autoscaling capabilities for data movement.
Cloud Scale Technology is a new generation of the proven NetBackup architecture. This technology is designed to operate cloud-natively and use technologies such as containers and microservices along with web-scale IT techniques such as service elasticity and hyper-automation. Some of the benefits of this technology are:
A containerized, Kubernetes-based deployment model that can be used to create a new cloud-native NetBackup environment or complement an existing one that spans the data center and the cloud.
A microservices-based architecture that provides the portability to work within multiple clouds and resiliency for service availability.
Elastic services which autonomously grow and shrink as needed to optimize cloud resource usage and costs.
API-driven microservices that enable cross-domain workflow automation.
Simplified deployment directly from public cloud marketplaces and native tools.
