Data Resiliency and Protection Challenges

Everything Fails All the Time

• Builders and enterprises both want data resiliency for their applications and workloads.
• Dr. Vogels' quote "everything fails all the time" is a caution to plan for data resiliency and expect failures.

Growing Data Volumes

• Data volumes are continuously growing, especially with the rise of smartphones, tablets, and the advent of AI/ML models.
• Data has become a critical asset for most organizations, making data protection and resilience essential.

Evolving Threats

• There is an increasing number of threat actors and attack vectors, making it challenging for organizations to keep up.
• Data protection systems are complex, involving multiple teams, and require ongoing maintenance.
• Ransomware is a pervasive problem, with successful attacks often going undetected.
• Cyber crime is growing rapidly, expected to cost $10.5 trillion annually in the US by 2025.

Emerging Threats

• AI/ML and Generative AI are making it easier for threat actors to harvest data.
• The advent of Quantum Computing could render current encryption standards obsolete.
• Understanding application and system dependencies is crucial for protecting against targeted attacks.

AWS Shared Responsibility Model

• AWS is responsible for the resilience of the cloud, while customers are responsible for the resilience of their workloads in the cloud.
• Customers must focus on their workload architecture, continuous testing, and change management.

Eon's Approach to Cloud Backup

Challenges with Cloud Backup

• Cloud resource provisioning is decentralized, making it difficult to manage and apply backup policies.
• Customers struggle to keep up with their backup posture, often resorting to over-backing up or under-backing up their data.
• Restoring data from backups is often a complex and time-consuming process, with limited search and granular access capabilities.

Eon's Solution

• Eon continuously scans the customer's cloud environment, automatically identifying resources, their data types, and production/non-production status.
• Customers can define simple, contextual backup policies based on these attributes, which are automatically applied to new or changing resources.
• Eon's storage tier is designed to be queriable, allowing customers to search and access their backup data directly, without the need for full restoration.
• The platform provides a unified view of the customer's cloud inventory and backup posture, with dashboards and drift protection capabilities.

Key Benefits

• Simplified backup management and policy application, reducing the operational overhead for customers.
• Granular search and access to backup data, enabling faster and more efficient restoration.
• Lower storage costs due to Eon's optimized storage layer and a consumption-based pricing model.
• Self-funding backup solution, where customers only pay for the storage used.

Conclusion

• Eon has reinvented cloud backup, addressing the key challenges faced by enterprises in managing and utilizing their backup data.
• The platform's automated, contextual, and searchable approach to backup provides a novel solution to an old problem.
• Customers are encouraged to visit Eon's booth (1576) to experience the platform's capabilities firsthand and connect with the team for further discussions.
