Carbonite To Be Acquired by OpenText for $1.4B

Re:Carbonite To Be Acquired by OpenText for $1.4B by vivid_truth on Wednesday December 04, 2019 @10:49PM (#21709827)

This thread could not have come at a more perfect time, my organization is looking to back up just under 1PB of content spread across about a dozen storage nodes.

We are looking for a reputable backup provider who can provide a solid product at the lowest price, striking a good balance between cost and features.

Our priorities are price, ability to encrypt the data, and setting up private network peering.

Any recommendations?

Our staff is comprised of smart system admins and developers who are well versed with Linux. No pretty UI's needed on our end.

Thanks in advance!

We[1] will meet B2/Wasabi pricing for 1PB of storage.

"Our staff is comprised of smart system admins and developers who are well versed with Linux. No pretty UI's needed on our end."

Please email [email protected]. It sounds like a good match. I would be very happy to discuss how our product (an actual ZFS filesystem that you control) could be deployed for you.

Veeam are great - they do have a lot of pretty GUIs though.

Support about every storage backend you can think of.

Perhaps consider building a couple of big ass BackBlaze-like storage nodes and doing it yourself?

This is what we already have in place, the idea is to get the data off-site in case the DC melts down.

Yev here -> Gleb's email is above, but if you do already have some hardware from 45 Drives or FreeNAS - Backblaze B2 may already be integrated into them!
