VAST Data for Enterprise Backup & Recovery

Legacy Backup and Recovery isn’t Built for the Ransomware era

Enable Immediate Recovery from Large-Scale Ransomware Attacks with an All-Flash Backup Target at Archive Economics

VAST’s Universal Storage is an all-flash file and object storage platform designed to scale to multi-petabytes and even exabytes providing tier-1 performance at a price point equivalent to what customers pay for archive storage.

VAST eliminates the scale and performance limitations of purpose-built backup appliances (PBBAs) to enable fast backups and immediate recovery from large-scale ransomware attacks.

Legacy PBBAs focus on meeting backup windows while implementing data reduction technologies that impose a severe restore penalty compared to backup speed. The VAST Data Platform enables organizations to restore 50x faster than legacy PBBAs.

All Flash at HDD Economics

VAST’s global data reduction makes it possible to build storage that’s more affordable than HDD-based PPBA’s. VAST has invented breakthrough data reduction algorithms that result in a pattern matching mechanism that’s 8,000 to 4 million times more granular than classic dedupe.

On average VAST delivers 3:1 additional data reduction AFTER deduplication and compression approaches have been performed by backup software such as Commvault, Veritas, Veeam, Rubrik and Cohesity.

Safeguard Data from Ransomware

VAST supports advanced data protection features like object lock and ransomware-proof snapshots which protect critical backup copies from being altered or destroyed, even by inside threats.

VAST is an exabyte-scale, All-NVMe flash storage platform. Replace multiple legacy HDD based PBBA’s which have scaling limitations with a single tier of flash storage large enough for all of your data, and affordable enough that HDDs are no longer relevant.

 

Organizations spend far too much energy and money moving data throughout a storage hierarchy that is rapidly growing in complexity. It’s time to eradicate HDDs from your backup environment and start scaling data management performance beyond legacy limits.

PDF - Universal Storage for Enterprise Backup & Recovery

VAST Data has invented a new type of storage architecture, Disaggregated Shared Everything (DASE) that is a radical departure from the Shared Nothing architecture.

DASE exploits technologies such as NVMe over fabrics, Storage Class Memory (SCM) and low-cost QLC flash resulting in an exabyte-scale file and object storage platform that delivers game-changing levels of storage efficiency, performance and system resilience.

With VAST Data, customers now get extreme backup and restore performance, the ability to run dev-test on all data in real-time, performance for data classification and e-discovery… all while saving on the cost of acquisition.

Video - All Data Reduction Is Not Created Equal

As data reduction became more commonplace, some storage and backup administrators are viewing compression and deduplication as checkbox features, ignoring the many approaches to data reduction and their diverse degrees of reduction.

 

In this video VAST’s CMO and Co-Founder, Jeff Denworth, explains how VAST’s approach to data reduction compares to Dell’s PowerProtectDD solution.
