Application scenarios

ECS file database backup
VMware virtual machine agentless cloud migration
Cloud backup and archiving of local data center
ECS cross region disaster recovery
OSS/NAS proxy free backup
Scenario description and summary
Alibaba Cloud ECS customers need to protect key data on ECS to recover data and business in time in case of data accidents
Scenario needs and pain points
Alibaba Cloud has millions of ECS customers, many of whom need to perform fine-grained backup and recovery of files or databases in addition to snapshots. The self built script backup method cannot guarantee the availability. Using third-party backup software also requires additional ECS resources. Operation and maintenance are troublesome. A cloud native backup product is needed to solve this problem
Solutions and advantages
Cloud Backup supports files on AliCloud ECS, self built databases MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and SAP HANA backups. Full, incremental, log, and real-time backup capabilities are provided for ECS self built databases. Support any point in time data recovery
Scheme effect and value
ECS file and self built database backup: file and tablespace level fine-grained backup and recovery to protect customer ECS data
SAP HANA backup: the first public cloud backup service certified by SAP in Asia, fully automatic and high performance
Recommended combination
Scenario description and summary
In the hybrid cloud scenario, the tool that enables customers to smoothly and efficiently migrate VMware virtual machines to the cloud is a very important part of the cloud for local applications
Scenario needs and pain points
Public cloud manufacturers generally lack targeted migration tools for VMware platforms
Traditional tools generally have the following three disadvantages: intrusive (agent installation required), non incremental (downtime required during migration), and low efficiency (low scanning and transmission efficiency)
Virtual machine migration is a super large project, which is easy to affect the stability of the production environment
Solutions and advantages
It is applicable to the scenarios where batch virtual machines are migrated to the cloud, key systems are migrated to the cloud, and incremental capabilities are required due to the long migration window, making it easier for customers to cloud their local VM virtual machines daily
With block level incremental capability to ensure the consistency of the whole machine
Source side re deletion and compression, saving bandwidth and high migration efficiency
The migration effect can be verified at any time without affecting the local production environment
Scheme effect and value
It is applicable to the scenarios where batch virtual machines are migrated to the cloud, key systems are migrated to the cloud, and incremental capabilities are required due to the long migration window, making it easier and more convenient for customers to cloud their local VM virtual machines
Recommended combination
Scenario description and summary
The key data of the customer's local data center, including office documents, design drafts, audio and video, medical images, and important applications, need additional protection. It is required to recover quickly in case of data loss or damage to ensure business continuity. At the same time, because of the safety requirements of industry rules, massive historical data need to be retained for decades or even longer.
Scenario needs and pain points
High cost: budget for computer room, hardware and software, and special team operation and maintenance
Slow online: online for months or years
Difficult to manage: it is difficult to retrieve archived data, and the retrieval efficiency is extremely low
Complicated operation and maintenance: local backup archiving software and hardware management and control are separated, and the operation and maintenance personnel need to pay attention to the system status at any time. In case of errors, it is troublesome to locate, time-consuming and laborious
Inelastic expansion: unable to expand in time when local space is insufficient, and software and hardware need to be purchased for deployment
Solutions and advantages
Through the cloud backup function provided by Cloud Backup, a simple interface is used to configure data protection policies, which can automatically back up customers' local data to the cloud. AES-256 data encryption and source side re deletion compression at the source side ensure the safe and efficient backup of data to the cloud. The local NAS system can use the file intelligent analysis capability of Cloud Backup to conduct hot data backup and cold data strategic archiving after fully understanding the data characteristics and optimization effects; Support global retrieval of PB level archive library, and archive files can be found in seconds.
Scheme effect and value
Cloud Backup is used for local data backup, archiving to cloud, provincial TCO, sky level online, and public cloud's natural scalability, automatic alarm for task failure, and data management services for various data in the customer's self built machine room.
Recommended combination
Scenario description and summary
Alibaba Cloud ECS customers need to ensure the continuity of business on ECS. In case of any failure in the production region or availability zone, business can be quickly recovered in other places to achieve disaster recovery in other places
Scenario needs and pain points
Compared with data level backup, disaster recovery is a more complex project. Customers often encounter problems such as high cost, failure to drill or system recovery failure. How to ensure the timeliness and correctness of disaster recovery data is a problem that cannot be solved by self built scripts or general tools
Solutions and advantages
Applications deployed on ECS on Alibaba Cloud use the CDP technology of Cloud Backup to achieve real-time replication across zones or regions, and achieve high-performance application level disaster recovery with second level RPO and minute level RTO. It has more disaster tolerance scheduling capability, and can prefabricate the one click recovery process of multi node complex applications on the cloud. It is really a disaster tolerance scheme that can be verified at ordinary times and can be recovered during disaster tolerance
Scheme effect and value
Realize cross region or zone disaster recovery of ECS, with simple interface and one click drill to ensure business continuity of ECS customers to the greatest extent
Recommended combination
Scenario description and summary
AliCloud OSS or NAS users need to protect key data on OSS buckets or NAS file systems
Scenario needs and pain points
Customers need a fully automated, efficient and easy-to-use professional backup tool to protect AliCloud OSS and NAS, which can quickly and accurately restore data in the event of data deletion or operation and maintenance errors
Solutions and advantages
The proxy free OSS/NAS backup function of Cloud Backup enables no backup proxy ECS. The cloud backup service cluster completes the backup, directly selects the OSS buckets and NAS file systems to be backed up on the cloud backup console, and centrally configures policies for unified management
Scheme effect and value
Customers can use Cloud Backup as a tool to protect OSS/NAS storage data. The interface is simple and easy to use. The source side can be re deleted and compressed, and the cost can be saved by permanent increment
Recommended combination
