Managed Back-up Services onto SAN, Tape or VTL

BlueCentral provides three grades of managed tape backup services,including dedicated tape service, off-site tape storage and encrypted data to tape options, all key to our platform services option.  We can also provide a Virtual Tape Library (VTL) service for those who want their backup "near line" on disk. Normally this is held reliably on SATA drives which are then accessible more reliably and faster than tape services.

Off-site Tape Backup

Off-site Tape Back-up is provided using rotatable tape cartridges via a partner firm. The rotation period may be daily, weekly or monthly for archiving and audit.

Hosted EMC Avamar Back-up and De-duplication

Despite the promises from many other hosters, BlueCentral is the only mainstream managed hosting company in Australia that actyually has EMC Avamar technology installed and operating brilliantly for our customers. Avamar is a device that de-duplicates back-up data and stores it offsite, on disk. It is immediately available for "re-hydration" of the data so that a restore can be achieved very quickly for a hosting customer. It is particularly good system for customers with a low RTO requirement, large data storage or very large files. In our view this provides a far more cost effective service than some of the CDN services that are also used for managed backup (amongst other things).
