Maximize cloud-tier storage efficiency – and avoid common pitfalls
Storing files that will never change makes sense, but you can’t reap those advantages simply by pushing your data into Amazon S3 or Azure Blob. To make the most out of cloud-tier storage, you must consider architectural changes to support it, so you can avoid common pitfalls like sending more data to the cloud than needed, incurring unnecessary overhead costs and storing low-priority data in expensive tiers.
And when you have a cloud-connected storage, deduplication and replication solution doing some of the legwork for you, you can maximize cloud-tier storage efficiency.

Cloud-Tier Backup for Object Storage — Doing It Right
This white paper shows you how you can avoid the potential drawbacks of cloud-tier backup for object storage. It focuses on data protection where two important elements of IT infrastructure merge: cloud-tier backup and object storage. It examines the costs, benefits and risks associated with object storage in cloud tiers, and covers topics including:
- Why object storage? A refresher
- Optimizing capex and opex costs depending on your organization’s goals
- The cost advantages of cloud tiers
- Architecture – security and cloud-based object storage
- Reducing the amount of data before it leaves the premises
