Datrium Recognized on 2017 Emerging Vendors List

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- #Datrium, the leading provider of #OpenConvergedInfrastructure for hybrid clouds, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named the company to its 2017 Emerging Vendors list in the Storage category. This list recognizes recently founded, up-and-coming technology suppliers that are shaping the future of the IT channel through unique technological innovations. In addition to celebrating these standout companies, the Emerging Vendors list serves as a valuable resource for solution providers looking to expand their portfolios with cutting-edge technology. This year, for the first time, the list is divided into seven categories: Cloud, Data Center, Security, Big Data, Networking/VoIP, Internet of Things and Storage. Datrium delivers a new breed of tier 1 converged infrastructure with consumer-grade simplicity by combining compute, primary and secondary storage, and cloud backup into a single platform.  Datrium DVX extends beyond hyperconverged infrastructure to address both mission critical, low latency workloads as well as backup and cloud data management for hybrid clouds. Last week at AWS re:Invent, the company unveiled Datrium Cloud DVX, a cloud-native instance of Datrium DVX that runs on AWS, providing backup and recovery services for on-premise Datrium DVX systems. Beyond as-a-service simplicity, the new offering delivers breakthrough global cloud deduplication and forever incremental backups to minimize the cost of capacity and network bandwidth.  Granular, dedupe-aware recovery also provides accelerated Recovery-Time-Objectives (RTO) versus other AWS S3-based offerings. "This impressive group of technology supplier startups is already disrupting the status quo, aggressively creating and innovating to meet the ever-changing demands of the IT market," said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. "CRN's 2017 Emerging Vendors represent the next generation of IT change agents, producing a wide range of leading-edge products that solution providers should keep an eye on in the coming year and beyond." "This year, our goal was to ship the world's simplest tier 1, petabyte-scale infrastructure converging VM and container-based servers, primary and secondary storage as well as integrated cloud backup," said Brian Biles, Datrium CEO and co-Founder. "That we achieved this is undeniable and corroborated by Q3 sales that were four times those of our Q1 sales. Contributing to this success was the record addition of new capabilities in 2017 that make DVX virtually config-free on-prem and in the cloud. We are honored to be included on CRN's 2017 Emerging Vendors List and gratified with this acknowledgement of the pivotal role Datrium is playing in defining the next generation of convergence."

Datrium Announces Cloud DVX for Amazon Web Services

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- #Datrium, the leading provider of #OpenConvergedInfrastructure for #hybridclouds, today announced @Datrium #Cloud #DVX, a cloud-native instance of Datrium DVX that offers recovery services for VMs running in DVX on-premises. Cloud DVX includes global cloud deduplication and provides the simplest and most efficient approach to VM and vDisk level backup and recovery available within a converged or hyperconverged infrastructure system offering.  Adoption of the public cloud for offsite backup and recovery has been a challenge because the size of backup data, the need for regular full backups, and the lack of adequate data reduction limits the economic and practical viability of doing so.   According to Gartner1, "Deduplication is the key to reducing cloud storage costs, but most backup software's cloud connectors do not support deduplication, and other choices are limited to a few cloud gateways and emerging integrated backup appliances with native cloud gateway function." The report goes on to state, "Deduplication backup target appliances don't support cloud storage as another tier without running a virtual edition in the cloud, which would incur additional cloud compute costs and more-expensive associated storage." Cloud DVX is a port of the DVX software to Amazon Web Services (AWS), and is a natural architectural fit. The first service available on Cloud DVX is a SaaS-based utility that runs on AWS, providing VM and vDisk backup and recovery for on-premise Datrium DVX systems.  Beyond as-a-service simplicity, the new service offering delivers breakthrough global cloud deduplication and forever incremental backups to minimize the cost of capacity and network bandwidth.  Granular, dedupe-aware recovery also provides accelerated Recovery-Time-Objectives (RTO) versus other AWS S3-based offerings. Simple Service Sidesteps AWS Learning Curve Datrium Cloud DVX eliminates the need to learn and setup AWS, deal with EC2 service outages, and manually handle software upgrades. The recovery service provides a simple one-click setup with AWS, then provides backup instance storage and recovery as a SaaS-based offering. As a part of the service, Datrium manages service availability. The service also includes automated software upgrades as well as proactive support related to AWS resources. Because Datrium Cloud DVX provides direct-to-host restore, the management (and cost) of an additional on-premises backup or cloud gateway device is eliminated, further simplifying public cloud backup and recovery. Cloud Economics Depend on Global Cloud Deduplication and Forever-Incrementals Cloud DVX provides global cloud deduplication for AWS S3 across multiple protection groups, multiple on-premises DVX systems, and even across multiple sites. In addition, because Cloud DVX supports forever-incremental backups, no additional full backups are required after initial seeding. The differential, dedupe-aware snapshot backup service means that customers maintain full data efficiency both on-the-wire and at-rest. In addition, because this service supports end-to-end encryption, there is no need to add a separate VPN and related AWS charges. This massive focus on data and network efficiency means that AWS resources are 65% lower2 and 91% lower versus the S3-based products from hyperconverged and hyperconverged backup vendors, respectively. "As a financial services company, we need to retain data for up to 25-30 years for parts of our business and have been reliant upon tape to do so," said Daryl Dressler, Infrastructure Engineer for Intuition LLC. "In the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, we needed to recover from tape held at Iron Mountain. However tape deliveries are best effort and with all the flooding that had occurred, the delivery trucks were unable to reach our data center for days. With the dedupe-aware efficiency of Datrium Cloud Backup for AWS, we can cost-effectively deploy it as a tape replacement and significantly reduce recovery time in these situations." Fast RTO Depends on Dedupe-Aware Data Retrieval and Direct-to-Host Restore The combination of dedupe on-the-wire with granular recovery of an individual vDisk, significantly improves recovery time. As an example, recovering a 100GB vDisk in the cloud may require retrieval of just a few gigabytes of data and just seconds, thanks to duplicate data in the local DVX. Because of the global on-premises and cloud deduplication capabilities of DVX, Cloud DVX provides an RTO more than 2X faster than Nutanix Cloud Connect.  In addition, RTO benefits from direct-to-host restore.  With independent backup products, data must first be restored to the backup system, fully rehydrated, and incremental backups replayed, before it is copied to the primary system. Because DVX combines Tier 1 application consolidation with built-in data protection offering direct-to-host restore, Cloud DVX delivers 2X faster RTO compared to HCI Backup vendors. "I was looking for a cost-effective approach to offsite data protection for our research data," said Jeff Cunningham, Director of Information Systems at the Agricultural and Resource Economics (AREC) department at the University of Maryland. "Datrium Cloud Backup was so simple to use, but I was interested in profiling the restore speed over our network. When I performed recovery testing, I was blown away – it was virtually instantaneous because Datrium took advantage of the fact that most of the VM data being recovered was already on my local system." "Cloud should be the new Iron Mountain, but it's not. Most cloud backup approaches are still complex, expensive and slow," said Brian Biles, CEO and Founder of Datrium.  "Datrium's Cloud DVX recovery service is the first approach that really addresses these issues.." Pricing and Availability U.S. list pricing for the Datrium Cloud DVX recovery service is $6,000 per 5 TB per year, and is available within 60 days. 1Gartner: Is Cloud Storage the New Tape? Pushan Rinnen, Refreshed: 6 January 2017 | Published: 21 March 2016 2Based on daily snapshots of 40 terabytes of data with a 2% per day change rate over a 1 year period.  AWS resources for Datrium were calculated to be $15.5K versus $44.5K and $179K for S3-based HCI and HCI Backup, respectively.
