Backup solutions for Telecom

GBS is a Generic Backup Solution with backup mechanisms for a Hybrid environment with Linux, bare metal, virtualized, Kubernetes, Windows and MacOS clients. We integrate Open Source backup solutions, in order to deliver a license free backup solution to the customer.
With our 20+ years of experience in the telecom world, we are able to analyze the customers backup requirements, and define a Centralized backup solution that is easy to operate and can restore the customers systems after a system or site disaster.

Cyber security within the
backup solution

GBS offers a backup solution that protects against cyber attacs, ransom and wiper attacs.
Systems can be restored from a golden image, or from a permanent backup that was made days, weeks or months ago. Backups are stored off-site
The backup system and its backups are protected from intruders, and the backup clients are protected from intrusion in case the backup server is compromised. 

GBS incorporates a Velero (OADP) mechanism to backup container resources in a Kubernetes, Openshift or Tanzu environment. GBS strategy is to store the backups off-site, in a different environment than the target system. In GBS3 we incorporate an Object Store that runs on the GBS backup server, to store the Velero backups off-site.

“GBS backup is a RedHat partner, with access to RedHat resources: software, documentation and training”
We have designed and deployed numerous bare metal and virtual systems with RedHat or AlmaLinux for bare metal, KVM and OpenShift   –   Ivan Sauri

Disaster Recovery and Geo-redundant Backup

GBS provides several disaster recovery mechanisms to restore a Linux system (bare metal or VM)  from backup.
Backups are stored for several days, weeks and months in a “permanent backup” copy.
The permanent backup can be stored off-site (geo-redundant backup) to allow for disaster recovery, even in case of a whole site disaster.

Open Source, License Free

GBS provides a licence free backup solution to the customer, because we integrate available licence free opensource solutions into a backup solution.
We only charge for the deployment work and the support (optional).

Geo-redundancy

GBS architecture allows our customers to implement a ge-redundant backup if they already have multiple sites available. 
It implements the permanent backup on a remote backup server

Centralized backup for multiple environments

A GBS backup solution can be deployed in hybrid environments and can cover multiple sites and IP subnets.
