Let’s face it: The amount of data is massively exploding in every IT organization. Protecting it is as complex, expensive, and inefficient as ever. While data protection may never surface as a “cool solution,” we all know that once a data breach occurs or a ransomware threat emerges, news travels fast and the reputation of your business is at stake. That makes data protection a very important solution!

At the same, hybrid cloud architecture deployments are on the rise. When it comes to protecting data, cloud-based data protection, particularly backup as a service (BaaS), is ideal for these environments.

The dream of any IT organization is to unify the data protection experience wherever the data resides

The good news is that HPE GreenLake for Backup and Recovery is a cloud-based data protection solution that promises to do exactly that: protect data simply, securely, and efficiently. It provides a flexible, pay-as-you-go experience or fixed commitment subscriptions while backing up on-premises VMware VMs, Microsoft SQL Server*, as well as cloud-native Amazon EBS volumes, EC2 instances and RDS*.

This cloud-native service eliminates complexity and frees you from the day-to-day hassles of backup infrastructure. There are no media servers, catalog servers, gateways servers, proxy servers, backup targets, or cloud storge accounts to separately manage.

On-premises backups with HPE GreenLake for Backup and Recovery

 For on-premises backups, HPE GreenLake for Backup and Recovery offers service-defined backup targets called on-premises protection stores that are created by the service and hosted on either Protection Store Gateway (PSG) or HPE StoreOnce System. The table below summarizes the differences between the two:

Remember: You can use PSG and HPE StoreOnce together. There’s no restriction by service that if a PSG is already used, you can’t use an HPE StoreOnce for creating another on-premises protection store and vice-versa.

Key takeaways

For many, the HPE GreenLake for Backup and Recovery on-premises protection store hosted on the PSG which consumes resources from the user’s VMware vCenter environment, is an effective and simple solution. But for others, HPE StoreOnce is a better choice to store on-premises recovery points because:

• A large capacity of on-premises backup is needed.
• The recovery points from a single primary storage system need to be stored on a separate system for protection against storage system failures.
• It’s desirable to meet the backup storage performance requirements with lower cost media in an all-flash environment.
• Available capacity in an existing HPE StoreOnce system can be used for backups.

All you need to do is register a physical HPE StoreOnce appliance within the service and use it as an alternative on-premises backup target to a service-defined on-premises protection store. It’s that easy.
