OpSus Backup Overview
OpSus Backup service is a fully-managed Backup as a Service for the healthcare enterprise. Designed to alleviate the burden of performing, validating, and troubleshooting backups, OpSus Backup manages the protection of every mission-critical healthcare application in your environment. CloudWave’s team of healthcare engineers operate, monitor, and maintain backup operations, freeing up the most valuable IT resource: time.
OpSus Backup reduces your technical footprint by combining your entire backup and replication environment into a single user-friendly device, the OpSus Backup Appliance. This appliance hosts the software and storage required to protect your environment and keep a local copy of backups. It also copies your backups to the cloud for long-term retention, guaranteeing availability and compliance. With all software licensing and operations included as well as all storage, encrypted and replicated locally and remotely, OpSus Backup is a one-stop, comprehensive solution to data protection. You plug it in, and OpSus healthcare engineers take care of the rest.
Services include:
- OpSus Backup Appliance – This two-unit rack device hosts the OpSus Backup Application, encrypts and stores a set of cached backups, and securely copies the backups to the OpSus Cloud. The appliance also includes a landing zone for all restores, allowing you to recover without overwriting.
