We Bring the Cloud to Healthcare

OpSus Backup

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.
  • Infrastructure Support– CloudWave will provide infrastructure support for OpSus Backup hardware and software located in the OpSus data center as well as the onsite OpSus Backup Appliance. Support is available 24×7 through our Service Center and the MyOpSus customer portal.
  • Monitoring and Support– CloudWave will provide 24×7 monitoring of critical OpSus Backup components, capacity, and performance thresholds, and provide incident and problem management services.
  • Access to Backups– Customers access backups from a secure web portal where you can freely view and validate your backups 24×7. The portal is self-managed, and every backup is available to view, explode, or restore.
  • Encryption and Security– OpSus Backup secures your data from generation to disposition. Every backup is deduplicated and encrypted using industry standard algorithms and all backups and restores are performed from the OpSus Backup Appliance at your site.
  • Fault Tolerant Design– OpSus Backup uses redundant server and storage hardware and software to provide fault tolerance, which includes no less than two complete copies of all backup data in the primary and secondary data center.
  • Offsite Replication– CloudWave replicates your data to another OpSus data center to facilitate a thorough recovery in the event of failure of the primary data center.
  • Malware Protection – Remote retention is air gapped. Access is only granted through programmatic APIs, effectively countering the threat of malware propagation.
