Why Not Use a Pure Cloud Storage Solution?
Integration
• HTTP/REST API
• Integration with existing backup
applications & processes
Performance
• WAN latency performance impact
• WAN bandwidth costs
• Traditional WAN optimization does
not work with public clouds
Security
• Data security & compliance risk
