Efficient Backup Strategies
NetApp's BlueXP backup and recovery service simplifies the implementation of various backup strategies, including the 3-2-1 backup approach. By offering a single control plane, users can manage a full spectrum of backup variations seamlessly without the need for multiple resource managers or specialized personnel. This integrated data protection service caters specifically to NetApp ONTAP® based data, ensuring a simple, secure, and cost-effective backup solution.
Reliable Backup Processes
BlueXP provides reliable and direct backup functionalities, allowing users to align effortlessly with the 3-2-1 backup strategy by utilizing local snapshots, replications, and remote backup copies. The service stores backup data in the object storage of choice, be it in the cloud or on-premises to NetApp StorageGRID® or ONTAP S3 system. This ensures that data can be easily restored to the original source or to a different ONTAP datastore, guaranteeing data integrity and availability.
Enhanced Backup Performance
With BlueXP, users can experience faster and more efficient backup processes, especially for PB-scale data. The service ensures that backup is 100-times faster, eliminating the risk of missing backup windows. By leveraging incremental forever backup methodology, BlueXP optimizes resource usage by only creating a full data set once without the need for re-baselining, allowing for block-level updates that copy only changed 4KB data blocks, thereby enhancing backup speed and efficiency.
Secure Data Protection
Security is paramount in data backup, and BlueXP prioritizes the protection of mission-critical data. The service offers end-to-end protection with AES 256-bit encryption at rest, TLS/HTTPS encryption in flight, and customer-managed key (CMK) support to safeguard backups. Additionally, the backed-up data is stored in an immutable and indelible WORM state, enhancing data resilience against ransomware attacks. Users can also air gap their backups through multi-region, multicloud, and cross-account operability to prevent data corruption.
Cost-Effective Backup Solutions
BlueXP is optimized for cost-efficiency, enabling users to reduce their backup total cost of ownership (TCO) significantly. By leveraging native ONTAP efficiencies and maintaining a smaller footprint, the service saves on hardware, storage, and operational effort. Additionally, users can benefit from cloud archival tiers for the cheapest and easiest long-term archiving. With BlueXP, users can calculate their potential savings compared to traditional backup vendors, making it a cost-effective choice for backup and recovery needs.
Comprehensive Backup Management
NetApp's BlueXP offers a centralized console equipped with intuitive wizards and dashboards, facilitating the implementation and management of backup strategies. Users can select volumes, define backup policies and architecture, and easily search and restore backups on a granular level using an indexed catalog that includes all backup copies. Furthermore, the service enables users to audit their data estate and backup status through comprehensive reports and dashboards, providing visibility and control over backup operations.
