CHALLENGES

Challenges with NAS Backup Alternatives

Traditional NAS backup methods with scale-out appliances and NDMP enforce vendor lock-in, lower performance, and higher TCO.

scale

NDMP: Backup Performance at Scale

Backup window is too long due to periodic full backup requirements, increasing RPO SLA failure rates.
recovery

NDMP: Index and Recovery Performance

Slow indexing creates bottlenecks on the infrastructure; without indexing and granular restores, recovery time is lengthy.
higher-cost

Scale-Out Backup Appliances: Higher TCO

Being locked in with storage provided by scale-out backup appliances results in higher TCO.

Our Unique Approach

A Modern, Vendor-Agnostic Approach to NAS

Our non-NDMP design is the foundation of our vendor-agnostic approach to NAS
