5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Thanks, that helps. I only considered the storage costs, not compute...for some reason I thought that wasn't applicable if we're only using it for backup and restore. This is my first dive into these cloud services, guess I have some misconsceptions. Right now we're using a combination of open source software and scripts to do backup and I'm trying to make it a little simpler. We're also considering Commvault, but we don't have any of their products in place at the moment.
Yeah, I saw Ribrik at the .Next conference. It looks like a very nice product, but it's way out of our price range. As is having an additional Nutanix cluster, though that would be my preference. Unfortunetely I've gotten our agency used to getting by on a shoestring budget. It was an accomplishment just getting Nutanix in the first place! I certainly sleep better though. We're looking at about 10K in licensing for Commvault, backing up to an older NAS I'm taking out of production locally and probably some basic storage server for one of our other locations as our off-site replica. I was hoping the AWS/Azure option would be cheaper/simpler, but it sounds like that may not be the case! I definately appreciate the feedback, thanks.
That's good to hear, thanks Jon. Still not sure which way we'll go, hard to decide without knowing the ultimate cost! I wish they had a cost calculator or something, where you could put in your base data, change rate, restore frequency, retention period, etc and get a decent estimate.
I had just found that calculator, but I didn't know what type of instance to use. Thanks for breaking it down for me, really helpful. At this point, I'm leaning towards getting Commvault and using some older storage hardware as repositories, should minimize the cost and maximize our restore capabilities!
