Backup to Cloud Storage | NovaStor Backup Solutions

Cloud storage is type of storage that utilized cloud computing to secure your data offsite on remote servers accessed over the internet. While there are several cloud storage architectures with different deployment options including public, private, and hybrid cloud, all cloud storage offers flexible, scalable data protection that is accessible from anywhere with internet access.

Reasons your business needs cloud storage:

Data can be accessed anywhere via an internet connection
The cloud should be part of your 3-2-1 backup strategy for offsite backup
Flexible cloud storage options (public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud)
Highly scalable storage option where you only pay for what you need or use
Public cloud storage doesn't require hardware and maintenance costs
Cloud storage is housed in data centers with enterprise-level security
Cloud storage offers added protection from hardware failure and ransomware

With multiple options to choose from for backup to cloud storage, our backup experts provide you with a free consultation to help you find the right solution for your IT infrastructure and business needs.

All cloud storage is NOT created equal

The cloud has been widely misunderstood, and with so many different types of cloud storage it's no wonder. Not all cloud storage is created equal, so it's important to understand the differences in order to know what option is best for your business.

Private Cloud Storage is a type of cloud-based storage that is often dedicated and accessible by a single organization, offering the highest level of privacy and security. With a private cloud, an organization is responsible for the cost and accountability of building out, managing and maintaining the IT infrastructure required to support the private cloud.

Public Cloud Storage is a type of cloud-based storage that is offered by cloud providers that own and manage the entire cloud architecture for you. These public cloud storage providers (like AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, etc.) are responsible for managing and maintaining all of the hardware, software and IT infrastructure, while you benefit from the cost savings of sharing the resources with other businesses.

Hybrid Cloud Storage is a type of cloud-based storage that converges both private and public cloud storage infrastructures with a management platform that spans these environments allowing data and applications to be shared between them. Since companies maintain different categories of data, this type of storage allows organizations to store confidential data in a private cloud, while taking advantage of the cost savings of public cloud for data that is not regulated or confidential in nature.

Community Cloud Storage is a hybrid form of private cloud storage that is multi-tenant in nature and specifically designed for a target business community. This cloud model, often managed by a service provider, provides a cloud infrastructure that is shared by several organizations with common concerns in terms of security and compliance.

NovaStor offers a multi-tenant cloud backup solution, that supports public, private, hybrid and community cloud storage. For more information, talk to a backup expert.

Can I just upload block-level changes to the cloud?

Yes. NovaStor’s FastBIT technology (NovaBACKUP Cloud) utilizes a block-level comparison between files already backed up and files being backed up. Once compared, FastBIT prepares and sends ONLY the differences at the block level between those two files, reducing the amount of data to be sent to the storage server for the most efficient backup.
