One platform to safeguard all your critical cloud data
Object storage
Amazon S3 forms the foundation for data lakes, machine learning, and AI. Clumio not only helps you back up these vast unstructured data repositories, it also enables near-instant restores by giving your application direct access to backed up data. Customers use Clumio to spin up secondary data lakes in minutes, securing them infrastructure up.
Block storage
Block and file storage solutions such as Amazon EBS serve as persistent datastores for large-scale and high performance applications. Clumio helps you maintain uptime and resilience of these applications by providing simple rollbacks and fast restores. All backed up data is encrypted, and file-level metadata is indexed for fast searches and retrievals.
Databases
Your most critical application data resides in your databases. Clumio helps you consolidate and simplify database backups across multiple use cases into unified policies. Whether they’re relational or NoSQL databases, managed or self-managed, Clumio helps you automate their backups for cyber resilience, operational resilience, and long term compliance.
Organizational data
Clumio enables granular M365 backups so you can find, inspect, and retrieve data down to individual records. Clumio backs up your organizational data incrementally and compacts it with its proprietary storage optimization technology, lowering your backup costs while maintaining a high-fidelity record of changes. Clumio also enables customers to air gap their backups and restore them across accounts or users.
Generations ahead of current cloud backup solutions
2X as simple
With nothing to deploy, maintain, or oversee, Clumio cuts backup operations in half. Simply connect your AWS account, set up your policies, and start backing up your data.
2X the security
Data on Clumio is immutable and air-gapped by design. The only way to expunge data from Clumio is with your explicit legal sign off.
10x more performant
Powered by its serverless orchestration engine, Clumio can scale to hundreds of petabytes, and restore data at 10X the speeds of other solutions.
1/2 the cost
Because you don't have to create a third air-gapped copy of your data, Clumio reduces your overall data footprint. In addition, Clumio helps you identify and backup only the data you deem critical, while eliminating unnecessary snapshots and replicas
FAQ’s
Cloud-native backup provides numerous benefits over traditional on premises backup, or instance-based backups.
Clumio’s powerful architecture allows backups to scale seamlessly with your data, while providing the power of file level indexing that helps you find, protect and restore exactly the right data among billions of cloud files and objects, fast.
Cloud-native backup also ensures that pricing is consumption-based, so you’ll never have to pay for hardware, infrastructure, or bulky cloud clusters.
Clumio covers your backup needs for the following AWS resources:
Storage: Amazon S3, Amazon EBS
Compute: Amazon EC2
Databases: Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon RDS, SQL on EC2
Disaster recovery is a strategy that entails restoring applications in the event of a significant disruption like a network outage, natural disaster, or large-scale failure. DR processes vary in line with companies’ requirements, but can include options like fully redundant systems for immediate failover, and often include backup plans as an element. Replication can be used as part of a DR strategy for technology failures, but because replicated data is a live or versioned copy of the primary data, it does not allow you to roll back to a usable state in case of a mass encryption event like ransomware, or in the event of deletions, corruptions, or overwrites. These situations need a point in time backup.
Backup is a crucial element of a disaster recovery strategy that can also help you meet compliance requirements. Whereas failover copies are structured the same way as production data, backup copies are stored more efficiently and must be restored to the production environment to be used.
There are numerous security features to look for when you partner with a backup service. One important tool is role-based access controls, which use IAM roles to easily assign user permissions to access only the specific types of tools and data they need, rather than everything in the system.
Among the many ways to improve data security, the use of the bring-your-own-key enhancement to encryption is popular and effective. It utilizes AWS’s KMS (key management system) to allow users to combine their private encryption keys with the backup solution’s keys. This maximizes protection of data that is accessed via the web. Air-gapping and immutability are two additional important backup security features.
Air-gapping is the practice of keeping backups in a separate security sphere from primary data, so it remains available in the event the primary data is compromised. Immutability saves data in a write-once-read-many, or worm format, ensuring it cannot be changed or deleted.
An AWS Region is a geographical location where data can be stored. Each region is further broken down into multiple Availability Zones, which help ensure the infrastructure is resilient. There are many instances in which having the flexibility to recover data to a different region is important. For example, when companies backup buckets, files, volumes, and tables, the intention is for them to be restored in case of a data loss or other disaster like a region being down. In that case, they would want to restore the backup to another region.
Relatedly, backup solutions with cross-account and new-account data recovery capabilities complete the picture, allowing the organization to restore to completely new environments. Clumio’ intuitive gui makes it easy to backup and restore data across environments for S3, EC2/EBS, DynamoDB, RDS, and SQL on EC2.
There are several ways Clumio can save your backup bill. In addition to per gb/month prices that save you money on S3 and EC2/EBS backups, you’ll save even more by protecting only the data that needs to be protected. Clumio has no minimum file size, so you won’t pay too much to back up small files.
And of course, saving time saves money. It’s simple to pre-buy credits and apply them to the data source of your choice, so no matter how many times your consumption fluctuates across services, you’re covered. Clumio’s ui console also includes Discover, a free visibility engine that provides a view into your data and analytics on inventory, protection status and more.
