Clumio - Your Backup Cloud Catcher!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Clumio is replacing our aging and outdated on-premise backup environment. We are using it to back up our whole virtualized environment at our data centers. It is addressing the problem of having a reliable backup source available for when recovery of data is needed. it allows us to not have to worry about having an infrastructure strictly for backup, and the flexibility of the cloud.
Pros
- Offers a highly predictable cost model for all of our environments.
- Easy to manage. One set of policies for all over our VM servers.
Cons
- Since Clumio is a new product, it is not as feature-rich as some of the incumbents, but it is still a superior product.
- Customized reporting capabilities are needed for this product.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you are in a highly virtualized infrastructure, Clumio is the only choice right now. It was built in the cloud, for the cloud, and handles on-premise environments very well. If your environment is lots of physical servers or lots of database servers, maybe start with a slower rollout of Clumio, but do not go with something else. Clumio is the answer to backup, now and in the future!
