PoINT Data Replicator

Replication of S3 Cloud and Object Storage More and more data is stored in cloud and object storage. This has created an underestimated security risk. In most cases, data stored in the cloud or in on-premises object storage is not backed up, as it is believed to be secure. This assumption is negligent and risky. High availability and redundancy as offered by cloud services and object storage products do not protect against human error, ransomware, malware, or technology failure. Thus, also cloud and object data need backup or replication, most appropriately on a separate storage technology, at a different location and in the original format as stored in the cloud and object storage. PoINT Data Replicator is a software product that provides a solution to both scenarios. File-to-Object Replication With the File-to-Object replication function of PoINT Data Replicator customers can migrate their file-based data from any file system to any S3 cloud or object storage. The File-to-Object replication uses the path of the original file path as object key. Therefore, after the replication standard S3 browsers show the same structure as the original file directory. S3-to-S3 Object Replication The S3-to-S3 Object replication function of PoINT Data Replicator replicates S3 objects from any S3 capable source to any S3 capable target. The Source and target systems can be public clouds or on-premises object storage. The Object-to-Object function replicates objects including their metadata between S3 buckets. Source and target buckets can be located on the same system or can be physically different systems providing different storage classes.
