Phoenix eliminates costly hardware appliances, data centers and costly administrative backup staff, especially in remote office locations. It’s centralized management with its cloud-first approach makes it infinitely scalable, globally available and suitable for large-scale and long-term deployments.
Traditionally, hardware capacity needs to be overprovisioned by as much as 2X to allow for peak consumption. Phoenix’s cloud storage coupled with its disruptive consumption based billing allows users to pay only for what they truly consume in the cloud, eliminating wasted capacity reservations.
Phoenix’s patented, client-based global deduplication offers the industry’s most granular and complete data reduction capabilities. This allows Phoenix to do ever-incremental backups, avoiding all subsequent full backup copies required by traditional methods. In addition, deduplication across all data within a region coupled with variable block size-based matching allows more efficient data reduction, decreasing the data footprint by 50-100X in most cases. In addition, global deduplication offers dramatic savings in bandwidth consumption resulting in faster backups.
Traditionally, enterprises use a tiered backup architecture comprising of disk hardware and tapes to reduce costs, involving complex workflows with multiple vendors. Phoenix seamlessly manages tiering in the cloud, with warm data available for instant restores and cold data automatically archived into lower cost Amazon Glacier storage, reducing the overall storage cost.
