Data protection as a service
CLOUDBRIK enables tiering for data storage.
At CLOUDBRIK, data is stored encrypted in a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). Airgap, media breaks, and WORM functionality protect data from ransomware attacks. The file system is based on erasure coding. Enterprise search mechanisms ensure fast file retrieval.
Depending on the application, the data is stored in one of three available storage levels:
CLOUDBRIK T1 for backup and disaster recovery
CLOUDBRIK T2 for long-term archiving
CLOUDBRIK T3 as an interface to the cloud
All CLOUDBRIKS are part of Cristie Managed Services. Cristie Care Packs offer a high degree of flexibility and are available in three SLA variants: Basic, Advanced, and Premium. All SLAs can be optionally extended with the "Plus" package for 7/24 support. From proactive monitoring and reporting to troubleshooting across the entire environment, the Care Packs also include configuration adjustments and support with administrative issues.
Cristie CLOUDBRIK can be deployed anywhere: in your own data center, at branch offices, or in multi-cloud environments. Using Cristie CLOUDBRIK significantly reduces total cost of ownership (TCO), radically simplifies administration, and protects mission-critical data, including against ransomware attacks.
Stage 1: BACKUP & RESTORE
The TIER 1 CLOUDBRIK
is the backup and recovery engine with all the necessary features to protect business-critical data. Installation takes place on-site in the central data center or at a branch or remote location.
Level 2: ARCHIVE STORAGE
The Tier 2 Brik is designed to reduce the costs of long-term storage (archiving). Erasure coding and a native S3 interface ensure maximum security and reliability. CLOUDBRIK Tier 2 already includes free tiering for CLOUDBRIK T3 (optional public cloud tiering) and can be combined with any S3-compatible application, local storage, or custom volumes.
Level 3: CLOUD SERVICES
The third tier is cloud storage, for example, for increased data intelligence and for securing Office 365 or other cloud-native applications and services delivered as SaaS. CLOUBRIK T3 can optionally transfer data to any other cloud provider (S3).
Each CLOUDBRIK is hyperconverged. Based on HCI technology, the appliances consist of four servers and are equipped with fast SSDs, high-performance HDDs for backup storage, and Cristie's Backup & Recovery software. For operation at remote locations, we recommend using the smaller version, CLOUDBRIK AIR.
