SnapMirror Cloud Backup on S3
Organizations are increasingly seeking to replace traditional tape backups and streamline their backup and recovery operations while ensuring data reliability and scalability and reducing total cost of ownership.
Cleondris ONE, leveraging NetApp SnapMirror cloud technology, provides a comprehensive solution that simplifies these operations while enabling seamless integration with object storage (S3) environments.
Cleondris ONE enables direct data backup from NetApp ONTAP systems to object storage (S3) using NetApp SnapMirror Cloud technology. This approach ensures high reliability, scalability, and significant cost savings compared to legacy tape backup systems. Whether the S3 bucket resides in the public cloud or an on-premises solution such as NetApp StorageGRID, Cleondris ONE ensures efficient, scalable backups and rapid recovery options.
How it Works
Cleondris ONE leverages NetApp SnapMirror cloud technology to enable direct backup of data from NetApp ONTAP systems to object storage. Cleondris' deep integration with ONTAP APIs allows organizations to back up data from ONTAP directly to object storage using the native NetApp Mover, whether in an S3 bucket in the public cloud or on-premises S3 such as NetApp StorageGRID. Cleondris also provides a scalable file catalog for efficiently searching for files and directories in S3 and restoring them from S3 back into ONTAP.
Cleondris uses SnapDiff v3 APIs to control the backup and restore flow and collect metadata that allows users to search for files and directories in the backup data. Cleondris software sits outside the actual data path. It uses SnapDiff v3 APIs to collect metadata for backup content in multiple versions and store it in its own database to facilitate later retrieval of backup data from the cloud.
Key Features
- SnapMirror Cloud Support: Backup data directly from NetApp ONTAP systems to object storage (S3) using SnapMirror Cloud technology. This replaces the need for traditional tape backups and ensures more efficient backup and recovery with high reliability and scalability.
- File Catalog: A highly scalable file catalog supports billions of files, allowing organizations to efficiently search for and restore files and directories from S3 to ONTAP. This feature allows for quick recovery of specific files, reducing downtime and operational disruption, and is crucial for restoring particular files or directories without losing track of them.
- Incremental Forever Backup & Recovery: Cleondris offers an incremental, forever-backup solution using SnapMirror Cloud, ensuring that backups can be performed continuously without requiring backup windows. This solution enables the management of exploding data growth and backup while controlling costs to meet ever-tightening budgets.
- Optimized Data Path: The solution is located outside the data path. Critical operations such as deduplication, compression, and encryption are directly managed between the ONTAP system and the S3 container.
- Seamless Metadata Management: Cleondris ONE leverages SnapDiff v3 APIs to collect and store metadata from multiple backup versions in a separate database. This ensures that backup data is easily searchable and retrievable, facilitating quick recovery without interrupting core operations.
Cleondris software enables organizations to streamline their backup and recovery operations and leverage unlimited object storage for backups and long-term archives. Cleondris provides technical support to its customers and is the first NetApp partner in the world to successfully test and implement SnapMirror Cloud functionality across its customer base.
