Data Protection for Amazon S3
Protect your S3 buckets from accidental deletions, overwrites, and ransomware attacks. Clumio delivers air gapped backups and instant recovery for S3.
Protect what powers your business
Why S3 backup for enterprises
S3 is the innovation engine for millions of customers. Developers, DevOps, and CloudOps use S3 to power their applications. The data that fuels this innovation needs to be protected.
Infrastructure resilience ≠ Data resilience
While the infrastructure of Amazon S3 is extremely durable and protects against drive failures, it is critical to recognize that infrastructure or service durability does not equate to data durability.
According to Amazon’s shared responsibility model, the validity, security, accessibility, and usability of data on S3 is the customers’ responsibility.
What you need to protect your S3 data from
S3 data can be lost due not only to user errors such as accidental deletions, misconfigured buckets, erroneous data lifecycle policies, and software-based corruption, but also due to malicious behaviors such as insider threats and ransomware attacks.
Losing critical data from S3 can lead to operational disruptions and downtime, non-compliance with industry regulations, and loss of customer trust.
Where current S3 backup solutions fall short
AWS provides tools such as versioning, replication, and AWS Backup to create and manage copies of S3 data, but these alone do not provide comprehensive, end-to-end air gap data protection.
Lack of out-of-enterprise air gap with current solutions can leave your data vulnerable to malicious attackers.
Current S3 backup solutions have scalability limits and cannot protect beyond a few billion objects
Simple data lifecycle misconfigurations can expunge entire buckets
Sifting through many object versions to find the correct copy can slow down time-critical recoveries
Protection policies and versioning can be set only at the bucket level, increasing costs in buckets with high change rates, or where only certain objects need to be protected
Why Clumio Protect for Amazon S3
Clumio makes your Amazon S3 data undeletable. Its cloud-native architecture enables near-zero RTO and RPO even at exabyte-scale, and puts your data protection and compliance on autopilot.
View S3 Solution BriefThe most scalable data protection solution ever built
-
Large enterprise customers routinely run into scalability issues with backup tools when their S3 environment exceeds tens of petabytes. This happens due to backup tools being built on legacy, machine-bound constructs.
-
Clumio is built on a serverless functions orchestration engine, where decoupled, stateless cloud resources scale dynamically with demand, giving it practically infinite scale.
-
Clumio can protect tens of billions of objects per bucket, measuring exabytes.
Instant Protection and Recovery
-
Protect your data in minutes: During a backup workflow, Clumio microservices inventory data sources, orchestrate, read, reduce, encrypt, and transfer data in parallel streams. Indexing and verification is also auto-scaled, and ensures an industry-leading low RPO of 15 min.
-
Recover instantly: Clumio uses serverless functions for scale-out rehydration while running parallel I/O operations across restore blocks to get customers back to a fully operational state really fast. Clumio routinely clocks the fastest RTO for AWS workloads in the industry, and can get customers back up and running in minutes.
Compliance on autopilot
-
Clumio’s dynamic data retention enables customers to apply policies to a range of protected objects, specific to the industry, workload, or operational requirement. Clumio automatically detects new resources and applies relevant policies, keeping ever-changing data compliant.
-
Clumio also generates compliance reports and alerts customers when objects are out of policy. Backing up data with Clumio provides instant compliance with HIPAA, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, and PCI DSS. Clumio has many customers in highly regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services, and government.
Transparent pricing, advanced cost visibility
-
Clumio does not force customers into purchasing large 4-node clusters or minimum commits, and instead meters for exactly the data that is protected, down to the byte.
-
Clumio also provides insights into hidden data protection costs, intelligently estimates spend and proposes ways to reduce cloud bills.
What Makes Clumio Different

Intuitive protection groups
When a customer has many buckets to manage in multiple accounts, it can get cumbersome to track their policies and prefixes across their buckets. This is common problem in large enterprise
Clumio protection groups provide an abstraction layer to manage objects, buckets, and prefixes across all AWS accounts. Protection groups can be recovered to any account, any bucket, at any particular point in time, at any granularity.

Flexible, granular recovery
Unlike other solutions that can help recover to only points at which files were changed, only at individual object or bucket levels, and only to a local account, Clumio, helps customers restore data to any point in time at the level of objects, buckets, prefixes, or protection groups. Clumio can also recover directly to any uncompromised account or region.

Simple calendar, with advanced filtering
Clumio offers a calendar view that allows customers to see all their recovery points. Customers can also search to find and restore exactly the object, bucket, prefix, or protection group they need to recover.
