Cloudian HyperStore S3 Storage Supported in Veritas Backup Exec 15

Cloudian, Inc., in smart storage with Amazon S3 compatibility, announced that Veritas Technologies, LLC has included Cloudian HyperStore S3 connector support in its Feature Pack 5 for Backup Exec 15.

Backup Exec 15 is a backup and recovery solution for mid-sized organisations across virtual, physical and cloud data sets.

The S3 connector in Feature Pack 5 enables integration with storage appliances running HyperStore. Backup Exec 15 records all metadata sent to and stored on HyperStore, and manages all the external backup sets to help organisations comply with data policy requirements for providing secure access to the data.

“As more organisations diversify their storage across myriad platforms, it’s critical to ensure comprehensive backup and recovery solutions are in place,” said Paul Turner, chief product officer, Cloudian. “Cloudian is the industry’s only 100% S3 compatible cloud storage software, making Cloudian HyperStore the ideal choice to equip Veritas with end-to-end S3 storage integration for its customers’ hybrid cloud storage needs.“

This is the second Veritas product that features HyperStore integration. Veritas also offers Cloudian cloud connector for NetBackup 7.7, which allows organisations to leverage HyperStore as the storage for backup and recovery, with Amazon S3 storage compatibility.

HyperStore object storage is a peer-to-peer software-defined platform that enables enterprises and solution providers to build Amazon S3-compatible cloud storage in a variety of capacities: on-premises, utilising stand-alone software; via integrated HyperStore appliances; or via AWS Marketplace. HyperStore’s multi-tenanted and multi-interface design can support many applications on the same platform.
