In this week’s podcast episode, Rahul Gangu and Venkat Chivukula from RV Global Solutions will discuss how to leverage the AWS cloud for the highest ROI when archiving, purging and backing-up data.
Speaker 1: On behalf of AWS and Carahsoft, we would like to welcome you to today's podcast session for our federal podcast series, where Rahul Gangu, co-founder and Venkat Chivukula, Senior practice cloud consultant at RV Global Solutions will discuss archiving, purging and strategic backup of data. Rahul, the floor is all yours.
Rahul Gangu: Thanks Good morning, Sydney and Venkat. Firstly, thanks to AWS and Carahsoft for giving us the chance to capture this conversation. This morning we'll talk about three topics data archiving, data purging, and strategic backup. The focus of our conversation will be on how we could leverage the AWS cloud platform to help our customers with data archiving, purging and strategic backup. So when can we dive straight into the topics?
Venkat Chivukula: Sure. Good morning, Sydney and roll Yeah, yes.
Rahul Gangu: Super. First talk about data archiving link and then how we could leverage AWS cloud. More specifically, what are the return on investments, the ROI items our customers can expect if they would like to use AWS cloud for archiving purposes, Venkat?
Venkat Chivukula: AWS customers can obtain very great a ROI for reusing redo effort. And second ROI that I can think of is our customers can adhere to service regulatory requirements in a better way. And the third ROI that I can think of is they get unlimited scaling, other archiving processes with the unique pay as you go model. That has been a success story for AWS up all through the last time they are in the business.
Rahul Gangu: Yeah, great. And what AWS two sets have we been using, Venkat, to help our customers with archiving on AWS cloud?
Venkat Chivukula: Yes, Rahul. For specifically archiving, we leverage the simple storage service, tier through, the free tier of AWS and we also leveraged the AI driven Sage maker solution. And we tried out No, in the end, as are around thinking of the data, we use a solution called AWS data sync. These are the no major three services and solutions we have utilized to achieve great success in archiving.
Rahul Gangu: So first of all, just to summarize for our customers, the ROI they can expect with AWS cloud or production and redo effort, greater help with service related requirements, and unlimited scaling of archiving process that comes with AWS and the tools we've used in the recent times was AWS s3 storage service, AWS, sage maker and AWS data sync. Correct, Venkat?
Venkat Chivukula: That's correct, Rahul.
Rahul Gangu: Super, super. Well, let's go to burgeoning. What are the ROI items our customers can expect if they want to use AWS cloud for data purging, Venkat?
Venkat Chivukula: Yes, the first ROI for burgeoning, which is logically the next sequence of after archiving is you get unlimited durability and resiliency in business processing. The second ROI that is achieved is you tend to understand the value of your data and generate top line value of your wasted resources and solutions and in terms of cost. Now to move on to the next level of your success story for backup and restore of your valuable data in for the entire lifecycle of the time you consume and generate new data. The third ROI that is that you adhere to secure standards and compliance protocols and certifications across the board so that you are more, you know qualified to continue your business continue plants.
Rahul Gangu: Super and what AWS tools have we used in recent past to help our customers with purging of data, Venkat?
Venkat Chivukula: Yeah, we have used AWS recognition, we have used AWS lambda and for the storage, we are using AWS elastic transcoder to scale up the processes and not have to comply with a storage. And yeah, that's those are the tools we have used, Rahul, for archiving.
Rahul Gangu: Super. Summarize, yeah, for summarize for a customer, what the customer can expect with AWS is for from a purging standpoint, unmatched durability, a resilient process, a better backup, restore data lifecycle and secure standards and compliance certifications that come with AWS. Right. And the tools we have used was AWS, elastic transcoder, AWS lambda and AWS. Recognition. Recommend that you got round. And the third point that we want to discuss this morning is strategic backup. So what are the ROI points that our customers can expect if they want to use AWS cloud for strategic backup?
Venkat Chivukula: Yeah, Rahul, all for any strategic backup process in for a company is reduction in costs as a no immediate ROI, for moving off from their old backup style, you know, backup procedures by migrating off of the manual tape libraries or, you know, old storage devices and servers and traditional storage appliances to move to an automated cloud solutions for their regular backups. It could be like office schedule, or depending on like scheduler, and automatically it's all integrated inside the cloud of AWS. And the infrastructure is all managed by the AWS people. And the second ROI that I can think of customers can move their cold backups to AWS, secondary cloud regions, at a very low minimal cost with just click of a button. And the third last, a ROI for a strategic backup is, you know, you can help organizations grow organically without the need to maintain paper trail and shredding, you know, that was prevalent in practice in during the last few decades. And they can shift to a new digital trends that are more environmentally friendly, and ecologically, you know, beneficial.
Rahul Gangu: Super. And what tools have we been using in the recent past to help our customers with strategic backup on the AWS cloud platform, Venkat?
Venkat Chivukula: Yeah. First, for the strategic backup, we used s3 standard, and we use the FS infrequent access, one zone infrequent access, we have leveraged one tool, AWS glacier deep archive, we have leveraged AWS Direct Connect s3 transfer acceleration that includes snowball snowmobile, snowball edge and storage gateways.
Rahul Gangu: Nice. Nice. So summarize for a customer the ROI they can expect with AWS cloud for strategic backup a reduction in costs for backups by migrating some of manual tape libraries, using the click of a button feature that comes with AWS cloud to move data from cold backups to AWS, secondary cloud regions, and of course, moving away from the paper trail that we have been used to for the past two decades. The tools we've been using. The AWS s3, AWS, DFS, infrequent access, the one zone infrequent access, AWS glacier and direct connect. Correct, Venkat?
Venkat Chivukula: Yes, yeah, right on, yeah.
Rahul Gangu: Super. Super. And I'm sure they can these tools, combined with our recent success stories of doing the same for the customers will be a huge efficiency gainer for the customer. And collectively between you, me, AWS and Carahsoft can bring down the costs and improve productivity to greater heights here.
Venkat Chivukula: Yes 100%. Yeah.
Rahul Gangu: Super. So and before we wind off this conversation when I'd like to thank Carahsoft, Sydney and team along with AWS for capturing this conversation this morning.
