Production environment— For the production side of the solution, it is taken that the data to be protected as part of the Cyber Recovery solution is available in a format supported by the DD series and CyberSense. The data must be stored on a DD series MTree in the production environment.
Vault environment—The Cyber Recovery vault environment contains a DD series and the Cyber Recovery management host that runs the Cyber Recovery software. Data from the production environment enters the Cyber Recovery vault environment through DD series MTree replication. This environment can also contain various recovery and analytics/indexing physical or virtual hosts that integrate with the solution.
Cyber Recovery integrates with the Integrated Data Protection backup solution to maintain mission-critical business data in a secure vault environment for data recovery.
Server infrastructure is installed in the vault environment and is not shared with or connected to the production environment. Keeping vault server equipment separate from the production environment ensures that any ongoing issues (cyberattacks, operational issues, and so on) do not propagate into the vault environment.
Additional safeguards include an automated operational air gap that provides network isolation and eliminates management interfaces.
The server infrastructure in the Cyber Recovery vault can be deployed in multiple ways:
