Q2Design Cost-Optimized Architectures

A recent review of a company's IT spending shows a need to lower backup costs. The company's chief information officer wants to simplify the on-premises backup infrastructure and reduce expenses by removing the use of physical backup tapes. The company must retain its existing investment in on-premises backup applications and workflows. What should a solutions architect recommend?

Tape... lol The company must preserve it's existing investment so they want to keep using existing applications. This means EFS won't work. and NFS may not be compatible. VTL is the only thing that may be compatible with an application workflow that backups to tapes. Who the hell comes up with these questions!

Use Tape Gateway to replace physical tapes on premises with virtual tapes on AWS—reducing your data storage costs without changing your tape-based backup workflows. Tape Gateway supports all leading backup applications and caches virtual tapes on premises for low-latency data access. It compresses your tape data, encrypts it, and stores it in a virtual tape library in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). From there, you can transfer it to either Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval or Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive to help minimize your long-term storage costs. https://aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/vtl/#:~:text=Use-,Tape%20Gateway,-to%20replace%20physical

Tape Gateway enables you to replace using physical tapes on premises with virtual tapes in AWS without changing existing backup workflows. Tape Gateway supports all leading backup applications and caches virtual tapes on premises for low-latency data access. Tape Gateway encrypts data between the gateway and AWS for secure data transfer, and compresses data and transitions virtual tapes between Amazon S3 and Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval, or Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive, to minimize storage costs.

Set up AWS Storage Gateway to connect with the backup applications using the iSCSI-virtual tape library (VTL) interface.
