Veritas Technologies declares Veritas NetBackup Recovery Vault, simple, fully-managed storage as a service data repository for Veritas NetBackup. Recovery Vault, which will be generally available later this year, will provide mission-critical ransomware resiliency.

As a purpose-built, air-gapped storage tier for backups while also lowering the cost and complexity of using cloud storage from a variety of leading providers for long-term retention and reliable backup data recovery.

“Backup data represents the last line of defense against Ransomware,” said Doug Matthews, vice president of product management at Veritas.

He added,  “Organizations need a simple, secure and cost-effective way to adopt cloud storage for long term data retention. It is absolutely imperative for enterprises to have the cloud repository Recovery Vault will provide, backed by the market leading solution they trust for their recovery needs—NetBackup.”

“Traditional approaches to cloud data protection aren’t keeping pace with IT complexity, the evolving threat landscape or economic expectations,” said Christophe Bertrand, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group.

“Recovery Vault is designed to help enterprises be confident that their data is secured in the cloud from ransomware and other risks, plan for disaster recovery and meet compliance and governance requirements—all within the NetBackup platform to help improve operational efficiencies and costs.”

Simplified cloud storage with freedom of choice

Using a self-managed public cloud service provider to provision cloud-based storage necessitates a series of time-consuming activities that can lead to security and compliance issues.

By providing a secure, familiar, and uniform interface—NetBackup—to both manage backup and recovery and simply create cloud-based storage with the freedom to choose from major cloud storage providers, Recovery Vault will simplify this process and reduce risks.

Customers may now automate cloud storage provisioning across different providers on an application-by-application basis, all under a single subscription.

Lowered total cost of ownership

Data growthis exceeding forecasts and costs associated with data backup to the cloud can be difficult to predict. Recovery Vault helps control cloud storage costs by:

  • Reducing unexpected data transaction costs.
  • Helping transition from expensive tape to lower cost cloud storage for long term retention.
  • Streamlining operations with automation and consolidated data protection storage management.
  • Leveraging subscription-basedmodelsoptimized for enterprises.
  • Reducing the amount of data sent, stored and retrieved from the cloud

Increased ransomware resiliency

Because Recovery Vault facilitates separate, air-gapped cloud-based storage, it reduces the risk that ransomware and other threats to data integrity affecting primary data stores could compromise backups.

Recovery Vault cloud storage also benefits from NetBackup’s leading protection capabilities, including:

  • Immutable cloud storage and data encryption in transit and at rest to ensure compliance and protect data.
  • Artificial intelligence and machine learning based anomaly detection to identify unexpected changes to backups before an event occurs.
  • NetBackup Intelligent Cloud Policy Engine, which abstracts cloud data protection complexity by automatically detecting and protecting new workloads across all major clouds.
