Addressing Backup and Archives through Cohesity

hi there I'm Mike Legend one of the principal technologist here at Kobe City today we're gonna talk about a silo that is within IT data and has been there for so long back up archive now a lot of people treat them as a single thing but they really are two completely different entities you're backing up your data and you archive memories now let's dig into that a little bit conceptually so you can see really what we're talking about when you look at your data there's a couple things you look at there are files there's emails and even things like databases then we were considered to be data but your memories are things that you deal with for years and years and years whether that is a picture maybe a movie or two a lot of people it also means music I know that always brings back memories for me you look at the two different set up they don't seem like they're that different but how often do they change that's one way to look at it these have a very high change rate but my pictures my movies those are pretty much static they're not gonna change very often from there what realistically are they short-term this side is we don't look at emails forever we really only need it while we're working on it but these beasts a long term and that's gonna be things like maybe it's the picture from company anniversaries things like that when you look at it from a corporate standpoint looking at it from your iPhone and when you're using your regular camera at home they are memories but when it comes to your company you have those memories but this is where it's important and this is where you need to have some sort of insurance to help with your data that's what matters for your company the key to this though is these just need to be recoverable you need to be able to recover any of this data whether it's a database that's running your business whether it's that email from a couple days ago there was a sales lead you need to be able to recover it your memories though aren't as important for recovery in the sense of a disaster but you do want to be able to access them when you need it so you've got long-term memories that you want to be able to access aren't changing but then there's short-term backup data that you want to be able to have recoverable when you need to so now how do I look at that though how do I have done that why dig deeper into this technically what have I done with them I've taken this data and I use some sort of backup application now there's been once I've been in the market forever they go from piece of software over to some sort of backup target some sort disk from there though you take another step and we put it down onto tape because we need to keep it for a little bit longer maybe you've got that backup target so you can just get it back on that short-term retention couple days you get something back into a problem but a month back you're not keeping that on your backup target it's going to go to tape but then those tapes tend to add off and you end up with more multiple tapes but you don't keep those on-site you then take those tapes you put them onto a truck and you ship them and what you do is you ship your backup data over to some sort of archive facility this facility isn't only someplace that you don't have to it's far enough away you don't have to worry about maybe sitting under a mountain someplace it is now an archive facility so you're just trying to get that access back so your short-term data has now become archival and you've had to take a lot of process to get there now with that but the access isn't that simple when it's sitting over here in a facility so what can khaleesi do to help with this with Kobe City we have our data platform now data platform has an app in it called data protect what data protect can do is both backup your data directly to a scale-out system that can grow as your company grows now this becomes your backup target becomes your backup app you get rid of a lot of this complexity the great thing is this can also help become the archival solution so you can take those memories and access them even quicker locally or you can put them off to another site to another facility or off into the cloud gives you a lot of different options on what to do with your data and your members both but now that your backup data has been a memory I need to be able to access it and accessing your data is not very easy in traditional platforms one of the things cohesive provides is a global search solution now you want to find that one email you want to find that one video whether it's on your backup salute side or your archival side we get rid of the silo it's on the cohesive data platform now and as you grow you scale that out you go from that back up all the way to here and say you know what it's time let's move it to art and we will do that programmatically for you you can go from having that single solution to having a policy that's automated taking your files short-term and then making them long-term archive and still giving you the ability to access them so take a look at the canacee Data Platform and data protect that will allow you to grow your environment and both backup your data and archive your memories and get rid of that silo we do it all in one place and truly redefine the way that you handle your data management Thanks
