Immutable Data Protection, Backup, and Recovery
The threat of ransomware and the need to continuously maintain availability of critical applications has made protecting backups more important than ever. Leverage IBM Cloud Object Storage for primary and secondary backup storage to ensure immutable data protection from these ransomware threats.
IBM Cloud Object Storage’s robust architecture ensures durability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, making it well suited for protecting your infrastructure backups. Use the object immutability feature to ensure your backups can never be corrupted by ransomware.
Features
By ensuring that your backup data is stored in a secured and separate environment, with optional immutable retention, you can be confident that backups remain unaffected by cyber-attacks on production environments. Recover quickly knowing you can restore from unaffected backups.
Object storage is a fully managed storage service available at very low cost, allowing organizations to keep backup operational costs low while ensuring continued protection.
Maintaining a secure backup strategy with isolation from production environments is a must for meeting many industries and global regulations​.
With object immutability and private encryption keys, your backups cannot be modified or read by anyone but your organization​.
Designed for 14 9s of data durability, ensure your backups do not get lost or corrupted. IBM offers the highest Service Level Agreement (SLA) terms in the industry so that your backups stay accessible when you need them.
Multiple storage classes help optimize backup cost and data recovery objectives with pay-as-you-go pricing and no up-front capital investments.
Data-integrity mechanisms check, validate and apply self-repair capabilities. It's designed for data durability of 99.999999999999%.
A globally accessible API improves operational recovery speeds. Access backup data instantly to aid regulatory, legal or business needs.
Default server-side encryption keys are automatically managed by default. You can manage your own keys or use IBM Key Protect or Hyper Protect Crypto Services.
Seamlessly scale to meet your needs to make it easier to cost-effectively manage and meet data protection requirements across your enterprise.
