Backup to the Cloud Backup in Virtual Environments SEP Cloud Server Environment The SEP sesam backup recovery solution has been certified to work in any cloud environment. It is especially suited for Amazon EBSType Cloud solutions and gives an extremely high leve of reliability to anyone who wants to offer cloud based backup to their customers. SEP sesam Cloud Basic Configuration A standard SEP sesam Cloud configuration consits of a SEP sesam Standard Server running any Linux O/S and a SEP Cloud Server at the Cloud providers location. It can be controlled from either the customer s site or by the Master Service Provider, by installing the Master Cloud Server License.
Backup to the Cloud Backup in Virtual Environments SEP Cloud Server Technology The Managed Service Provider (MSP) can provide a turn-key backp soltuion to customers without ever going on site. The system administartor installs the software at the customer s site remotely. The customer can have the full softwaare running locally and back-haul the data to the Cloud Provider or they can simply backup everything to cloud. The SEP sesam Cloud solution makes it all seamless! SEP sesam Cloud Security A Security is provide using AES256 encryption for all data, while logfiles and encryption keys are sent over secure SSH for storing the Cloud.
Backup to the Cloud Backup in Virtual Environments SEP Cloud Server Adds Servers easily, quickly Add New Servers and Clients at customer sites with ease. MSPS s can add a server to a Group without reconfiguring the backup environment. Templates are supported in the form of backup groups and can be easily controlled from a central cloud location. SEP sesam Cloud Email Notifications MSP s can set notifications. Notification types include Backup Successful Backup Successful with errors Backup Failed

Virtual Server Backup Backup in Virtual Environments Multinode Aware SEP sesam Backup Server looks at the cluster and will talk to all the hosts and determine where the guest is for the backup
Virtual Server Backup Multinode Aware After the backup is found, the communication stream will be isolated to the correct host
Virtual Server Restore Multinode Aware A host can be specified to direct the restore to a specific location
Virtual Server Replication Multinode Aware SEP sesam can be used to keep virtual guests synchronized between hosts or virtual clusters This can be used with the remote device server to synchronize servers between locations
