Alta Data Protection

Data protection born for the cloud: optimized storage, elastic autoscaling and the single Alta View console — protecting in the cloud without dragging on-prem vices along.

01 · What it is

Alta Data Protection, made clear.

Lifting on-prem backup into the cloud as-is means paying 24/7 for resources needed one hour a night. Alta Data Protection was born cloud-native: components scale elastically (appear for the job, vanish after), storage uses object tiers with optimized dedup, immutability leverages native object locks — and Alta View governs everything from a single SaaS console, hybrid environments included.

The cloud protected with the cloud's economics

Ephemeral resources

Backup infrastructure exists only during jobs: the cloud bill proves it.

Tiered storage

Hot for fast restores, cold for long retention: automatic lifecycle.

Natively immutable

Providers' object lock used well: the cloud copy ransomware can't touch.

Hybrid governance

Alta View sees on-prem NetBackup too: transition without double panes.

03 · In depth

Elasticity and costs: why cloud-native pays

Jobs spin up ephemeral instances sized to the work and shut them down at the end; deduplication is optimized for object storage (no expensive block disks); lifecycle moves copies between tiers automatically; immutability uses native object lock with retention; Alta View aggregates policies, monitoring and reports for cloud and on-prem: you govern the whole fleet from one SaaS — and FinOps reports show the savings, not promise them.

  • Autoscaling — the night peak handled, the idle zeroed
  • Dedup on object — cheap storage used intelligently
  • Object lock — the provider's immutability, orchestrated
  • Multi-cloud — AWS and Azure under the same policies
  • SaaS console — Alta View: zero management infrastructure
  • FinOps reports — costs seen per workload: informed decisions
