Actifio Data Protection Services for Google Cloud Bare Metal Solution

Actifio, Inc. launched data protection services for Google Cloud’s Bare Metal Solution (BMS).

The announcement strengthens the company’s partnership with Google Cloud, under which the firm has previously offered Google Cloud customers backup and DR services for various workloads like VMs and enterprise databases.

The company enhances the BMS experience by offering data protection services to support BMS customers for the following use cases:

Backup and DR of on-premises Oracle workloads that customers choose to migrate to BMS
Backup and DR of customer workloads in BMS from one region to another
Migration from on-premises and/or other clouds to Google Cloud
Rapid database cloning in BMS to accelerate Dev/QA/UAT testing

A longtime provider in multi-cloud copy data management for Oracle workloads, the company provides its customers with RTO, RPO, and a low TCO with its differentiated capabilities such as:

Application-consistent incremental-forever backup that shrinks customers’ backup windows and RPO
Instant mount and recovery that reduces RTO for multi-terabyte databases to minutes
One-Click DR orchestration enabling customers to fail over databases, application servers and the complete application stack with a single click
Rapid database cloning for DevOps and BigQuery analytics on a self-service basis with zero incremental infrastructure costs. Customers see an increase in productivity and have a 25% reduced time to market
