BaaS providers deliver data protection as a service by hosting the backup software and the primary backup repository in privately operated or public cloud data centers. The backup infrastructure, including backup software and backup servers and storage, is managed by the BaaS provider. Customers are still responsible for implementing backup policies and performing recovery tasks, but they are not responsible for the day-to-day maintenance and operation of the backup system. BaaS providers primarily protect VMs, databases and files in addition to SaaS applications such as Microsoft 365 and Salesforce. Some vendors also offer backup of endpoints.
Reviews for 'Data Center - Others'
Gartner defines distributed file systems and object storage as software and hardware appliance products that offer object and distributed file system technologies for unstructured data. Their purpose is to store, secure, protect and scale unstructured data with access over the network using file and object protocols, such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Network File System (NFS) and Server Message Block (SMB).
The e-discovery solutions market comprises vendors offering technology solutions that facilitate the electronic discovery process. E-discovery solutions specialize in one or more areas to identify, collect, preserve, process, review, analyze and produce electronically stored information (ESI). ESI fulfills legal and compliance requirements for discovery that result from a variety of investigative scenarios. The scope of ESI often includes data sources, such as digital communications, file systems, cloud office platforms, endpoints, databases and applications. E-discovery solutions market includes software vendor offerings for a customer’s own deployment on-premises and in cloud infrastructure, as well as hosted offerings provided by software vendors and services providers.
Gartner defines enterprise backup and recovery software solutions as vendor-developed solutions that capture a point-in-time copy (backup) of enterprise workloads in on-premises, hybrid, multicloud and SaaS environments. These solutions write the data to one or more secondary storage targets for the primary purpose of recovering this data in case of loss. They can be offered as software-only, integrated hardware or virtualized appliance, or as a SaaS-based, backup as a service (BaaS).
Enterprise information archiving (EIA) solutions are designed for archiving data sources to a centralized platform to satisfy information governance requirements, including regulatory and/or corporate governance and privacy; improve data accessibility; surface new data insights; and gain operational efficiencies. There are several core capabilities of this market. They include archiving digital communication content, such as email, workstream collaboration, instant messaging (IM) and SMS; classifying data and enabling retention management of archive content; creating a searchable index of content; and providing basic tools for e-discovery and supervision.
File analysis (FA) products analyze, index, search, track and report on file metadata and file content, enabling organizations to take action on files according to what was identified. FA provides detailed metadata and contextual information to enable better information governance and organizational efficiency for unstructured data management. FA is an emerging solution, made of disparate technologies, that assists organizations in understanding the ever-growing volume of unstructured data, including file shares, email databases, enterprise file sync and share, records management, enterprise content management, Microsoft SharePoint and data archives.
IT Resilience Orchestration (ITRO) solutions are chiefly aimed at helping to improve the reliability, speed and granularity of workload recovery due to unplanned outages by automating disaster recovery (DR) processes while lowering costs of DR exercising and DR operations staff. Gartner’s ITRO definition focuses on tools that support a majority of these capabilities: • Automated failover, failback and availability/continuity management • Replication and orchestration • Discovery, dependency mapping and workload analysis • DR management and run book creation • Reporting and validation of recovery capability
