Maximizing the Value of the Cloud with Quest

Figure 2: Foglight for Virtualization, with the Hybrid Cloud Manager add-on, monitors performance by regions, VMs, resource groups, storage accounts and virtual networks. Foglight for Virtualization offers performance monitoring of IaaS. With Hybrid Cloud Manager, Foglight for Virtualization lets you monitor the performance of your Azure and AWS infrastructure alongside your VMs running within VMware and Hyper-V in the data center. The combined overview of on-premises and cloud infrastructure in a single interface replaces one-off tools like AWS CloudWatch and Azure Monitor. With deep insight into the elements of your hybrid data center — AWS EC2, Azure VMs and networks, Azure and AWS availability — you can examine the performance and availability of VMs before and after migration to the cloud. Foglight for Virtualization, with Hybrid Cloud Manager, simplifies IaaS performance monitoring through pre-configured dashboards, pre-configured alarms and on-demand reports. You can reclaim over-provisioned resources, manage growth with automated VM deployment, and receive notifications of any performance anomaly before it becomes a big problem. 3. PROTECTING CLOUD-BASED APPLICATIONS AND DATA Once your applications and data are in the cloud, your next task is to ensure that they are protected and that you can reliably restore them in case of disaster or data loss. NetVault® Backup provides cloud-ready data protection for the hybrid data center and is designed to simplify enterprise data protection in public, private and hybrid cloud environments. This backup and restore solution has been adopted by thousands of IT organizations like yours around the globe and is used as enterprise data recovery software every day. Consider the common scenario of protecting Office 365 Exchange Online. Microsoft reports that more than 155 million commercial customers and over 32 million consumers use Office 365.1 To keep pace with such rapid adoption, NetVault provides comprehensive backup and restore for Office 365 Exchange Online, a business-critical application. This scenario has become increasingly compelling because Office 365, as software as a service, leaves you responsible for providing long-term, comprehensive protection of all of the data your organization creates in the cloud. 1  Brad Sams, “Microsoft Posts $29.1 Billion for Q1 Earnings With Strong Growth Across the Org,” Petri, October 24, 2018, https://www.petri.com/microsoft-posts-29-1-billion-for-q1-earnings-with-strong-growth-across-the-org 3 It now becomes important to monitor the infrastructure integrity of your cloud resources. Azure Cloud Virtual tape library NetVault Server NetVault client 1 Office 365 Exchange Online NetVault SmartDisk or QoreStor Backup data and control messages Restore data and control messages NetVault Server - NetVault Client control messages Figure 3: Azure-based Office 365 protection using NetVault Once your applications and data are in the cloud, your next task is to ensure that they are protected and that you can reliably restore them in case of disaster or data loss. 4 In a market filled with backup solutions, NetVault is the only one that currently uses the Microsoft Graph API to protect Office 365. Microsoft Graph is a RESTful web API that enables NetVault to access Microsoft Cloud service resources and replaces the other methods typically used to protect Microsoft Exchange and Exchange Online. NetVault Backup lets you select the backup destination for your cloud applications, whether it’s in the cloud itself or in the data center. Its multi-threading and multi-streaming capabilities ensure high performance and reduce downtime by accelerating data restores. For data security in the cloud, NetVault provides CAST-128, AES-256 and CAST-256 support. To address government data security, NetVault is certified for FIPS 140-2. When using NetVault to protect Office 365, you can create flexible policies for backup and restore that span a variety of recovery scenarios. It offers a centralized, web-based user interface for setting up, configuring and defining your backup policies. NetVault offers full and incremental restores; restores of individual, shared, and resource mailboxes; and recovery of attachments to OneDrive. NetVault Servers, Clients and Backup Storage can be deployed on premises or in cloud, to take advantage of hybrid datacenter methodologies for backup, restore and disaster recovery. To help slash cloud storage costs related to backup, NetVault is tightly integrated with QoreStor™, a software-defined deduplication and replication solution that runs in the data center and the cloud. Unlike hardware- and appliance-based deduplication solutions, QoreStor can be easily deployed in any cloud environment. It also eliminates the dreaded hardware-refresh cycle. Besides protecting Office 365, NetVault is also used to protect a wide range of applications running in the cloud, including Oracle, SQL, SharePoint, DB2 and SAP. NetVault provides cloud-ready backup and recovery for any hybrid data center. It’s a single solution that protects your resources and data both on premises and in the cloud.
