Cloud storage
The off-site copy in Germany.
The AegisGrid cloud storage is a backup destination in certified data centres in Germany. You use it alongside your own destinations – whether you run AegisGrid yourself, through a partner or with our Managed Backup.
One destination among several
AegisGrid backs up to up to eight destinations in one run. The cloud storage is one of them – typically the off-site copy next to a fast copy on your premises.
Encrypted before it leaves
The data is encrypted on your systems with AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 and transferred over TLS. Without your key, the content cannot be read.
Only what is missing
Thanks to deduplication, only what the cloud storage does not hold yet is transferred. Interrupted transfers carry on where they stopped.
Immutable if you wish
With a retention lock, backups can be neither changed nor deleted until the lock expires – not even by ransomware in your network.
Your data stays in Germany
The cloud storage is located exclusively in certified data centres in Germany and is operated by MSD Computersysteme GmbH with its own staff. No data is transferred to third countries.
The basis is a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR with the technical and organisational measures.
- Location: certified data centres in Germany
- Operation: MSD Computersysteme GmbH, Germany
- Encryption: on your systems, TLS in transit
- Contract: data processing under Art. 28 GDPR
- Restore: straight from the cloud storage
Questions about the cloud storage
Do I need Managed Backup for it?
No. Every AegisGrid customer can use the cloud storage as a destination – in their own operation, through a partner or together with Managed Backup.
Do I have to use the cloud storage?
No. AegisGrid backs up just as well to local disks, NAS storage, your own backup servers on site or at a second site, and exports to tape or USB disk. The cloud storage is an offer for everyone who does not want to run a second site of their own for the off-site copy.
Is the cloud storage suitable for notebooks?
Yes. Notebooks reach the cloud storage over the internet without having to be in the company network, and they continue interrupted backups. More under Notebooks and mobile workplaces.
What does the cloud storage cost?
Prices on request. We will gladly make you an offer that fits your amount of data.
