The company also recommends customers standardise backup storage in S3 object stores, according to Atempo product chief, Louis-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric\u00a0Laszlo.<\/p>\n<p>Atempo will offer versions of its Miria software \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/feature\/Paris-post-product-studio-uses-Atempo-Miria-for-live-restores\">aimed at data migration<\/a> between different storage systems \u2013 in containerised modules that can be integrated into storage-as-a-service (SaaS) applications or commercial infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services. That will allow for charging by use during migration, which will be from data backups to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/searchstorage\/tip\/How-to-use-S3-compatible-storage\">S3 object storage<\/a> services.<\/p>\n<p>The background here is that Atempo is convinced the software market \u2013 including applications and infrastructure systems \u2013 will standardise data protection as an integrated function and in S3 object mode.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause we believe in backup as a commodity, we are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/feature\/Container-native-storage-A-definition-and-what-to-ask-suppliers\">developing it in containers<\/a>, which is a format that allows for integration of our solution via an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/feature\/Key-ingredients-for-a-successful-API-recipe\">API<\/a>\u00a0[application programming interface] as if it was part of the software or service you want to protect,\u201d said Laszlo, during the recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itpresstour.net\/\">IT Press Tour<\/a> event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be a module expressly conceived of to save this application or that data format to S3,\u201d said Laszlo. \u201cThose who write applications, or integrators or cloud hosts, can even commercialise this module into their own offer,\u201d he adds. Here, Atempo modules would integrate into admin consoles of solutions to be backed up as options that can be activated on demand.<\/p>\n<p>One supplier has already taken that step. Namely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/news\/252504830\/Panasass-10x-saving-bumps-NetApp-from-HPC-storage-deployment\">HPC-focussed<\/a> scale-out NAS maker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/news\/252524756\/Panasass-double-NAS-offer-aims-at-multiple-analytics-workloads\">Panasa<\/a>s, which will integrate Miria as its PanMove (migration) and PanView (monitoring) admin tools. However, this is not yet implemented as a containerised module or as backup to S3.<\/p>\n<p>Containers allow for applications to be broken up into microservices. Each of these corresponds to a functional subset but which from the point of view of the user is an integral part of the application. From the developer point-of-view, however, it is a discrete module and can be deployed separately and possibly from another source and that it is easier to separate areas of functionality.<\/p>\n<section data-menu-title=\"S3 as a single format for backup storage\">\n<h3><i data-icon=\"1\"><\/i>S3 as a single format for backup storage<\/h3>\n<p>Until now, Miria has been mostly used by enterprises for regular migration of very large volumes of data between branch locations, and Atempo points to media companies and research organisations that handle big datasets among its customers. The company has also broadened its approach to migration by playing to the need to convert to object mode.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe needs of migration have changed,\u201d said Laszlo. \u201cToday, the subject is a concern to the majority of enterprises that want to consolidate all backups of files, emails, applications, their systems and their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/feature\/Whats-the-problem-with-NAS-backup\">NAS<\/a> onto S3 object storage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Atempo believes the market will move towards a unified backup at the target, whatever the source. Whether from databases, stored data in block mode, file shares on NAS, emails or document management systems, all their backups will be stored in S3 object format.<\/p>\n<p>According to Laszlo, there are lots of benefits to storing backups in object mode. \u201cObject storage capacity is more easily scaled up than NAS,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd it allows for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/feature\/Unified-file-and-object-storage-Three-suppliers-and-their-approaches\">data from many different applications<\/a> to undergo analytics together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laszlo acknowledges that increasing numbers of customers have made the choice to save data directly to S3. Whether as a cloud service or an on-site solution, the majority of products now recognise the protocol.<\/p>\n<p>However, without dedicated tools this method of storing backups \u2013 although simple \u2013 is not going to be optimal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to bring a traditional backup dimension to object storage,\u201d said Laszlo. \u201cOur modules implement on object storage all the high-level functions you usually have on a NAS dedicated to backup. I\u2019m thinking particularly of automated backup integrity verification and data deduplication to reduce the cost of storage and transfer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-menu-title=\"Behind the modules, a global platform\">\n<h3><i data-icon=\"1\"><\/i>Behind the modules, a global platform<\/h3>\n<p>Miria isn\u2019t the only product Atempo has in mind on the road to its containerised offer. Its Tina server backup software and its Lina workstation product will also be implemented in such modularised format.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the form that the modernised Atempo offer will take is not clear. That\u2019s because products are in development with launch planned for 2023 and 2024, although the company is sparing with details. That could entail integration of the new modules and the historic versions of Miria, Tina and Lina as Atempo aims for \u201c360-degree\u201d management of backups.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible that Atempo is developing a centralised control console for service resellers, integrators, MSPs etc as well as enterprise customers. That would simultaneously allow control of backups between on-site and cloud locations, and to easily invoice for backup even within complex application and infrastructure estates<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal is to offer IT admins turnkey disaster recovery capability, but also a way of reducing storage costs, in a context where the size of backups is continually growing,\u201d said Laszlo.<\/p>\n<p>Also, a centralised management console will allow for interaction with third-party services that enrich its functionality. Atempo points to cyber security services that eliminate malware from backups, automated labelling of videos, and automated migration after analytics processing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"DigDeeperSplash\">\n<h4>\n\t\t\t<i data-icon=\"m\"><\/i>Read more on Cloud storage<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a id=\"DigDeeperItem-1\"
