Many communications service providers (CSPs) are evolving, or have already evolved, to hybrid and multi-cloud environments to gain IT flexibility and agility.

Key features

• Modern, integrated user interface

• Self-service, multi-tenant and policy-driven backup

• Agentless backup and restore

• File-level restore (FLR) — no need to restore the whole instance or data set

• Scalable solution with industry-leading deduplication

• Non-disruptive, incremental backup

• Role-based access control (RBAC)

• REST API management

• Multiple stream support for concurrent backup or restore

This shift, however, brings new challenges in terms of data protection and retention. Costly and disruptive events or cyberattacks that cause downtime and data loss are on the rise. In fact, downtime and data loss was at a high of 82% in 2019, up from 76% in 2018. their data protection strategy, especially in light of their ongoing cloud strategy.
