The Cyber Recovery vault is supported on AWS starting with Cyber Recovery 19.7 and later versions. The Cyber Recovery solution is also supported in AWS GovCloud.
The Cyber Recovery software is available as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI). To deploy the Cyber Recovery software to an Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), use an AWS CloudFormation template.
The CloudFormation template deploys all the components that the Cyber Recovery solution requires in the VPC on AWS. The template creates two private subnets: A private subnet that includes the jump host and a private subnet that includes the Cyber Recovery management host and DDVE. It also configures security groups, Access Control Lists (ACLs), inbound and outbound rules. The vault jump host can be accessed using a VPN gateway or an AWS Direct Connect.
Cyber Recovery software is also available as additional purchase option through AWS Marketplace using custom pricing.
AWS provides VPC security mechanisms for additional security measures for the Cyber Recovery vault:
The Cyber Recovery software enables and disables access to a private subnet through a network access control list (network ACL) and enables and disables access to an instance through security groups. Starting with Cyber Recovery version 19.13, the Cyber Recovery software supports multiple Cyber Recovery vaults in the same AWS region.
Beginning with Cyber Recovery version 19.13, Cyber Recovery supports PowerProtect Data Manager automated recovery in AWS. Adding a PowerProtect Data Manager asset inside an AWS Cyber Recovery vault is supported. A vCenter server is not required.
Starting with Cyber Recovery version 19.12, Cyber Recovery vault on AWS supports the CyberSense software. With CyberSense version 8.0, CyberSense software can be integrated with Cyber Recovery vault on AWS to analyze your data.
CyberSense 8.0 can be deployed on AWS using an AMI. On request, Dell Technologies provides access to the AMI that is required to deploy the CyberSense software on AWS. The AMI must be deployed in the same subnet with the Cyber Recovery management host and the vault DDVE. The jump host, deployed by the CloudFormation template as part of the Cyber Recovery vault deployment on AWS, enables access to the CyberSense host.
Note: Contact Dell Technologies team to deploy CyberSense on AWS.
