Ransomware recovery has become validated and protects critical workloads across multiple accounts
The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy. Consolidating those or offering a slimmer permission set for read-only backup (versus full restore) would help with security review friction. Cross-account restore into a target account still requires manual steps for KMS. If Clumio could handle re-encrypting with the target account's CMK during restore rather than requiring Multi-Region Key pre-staging, that would save significant preparation time. Also, the restore API could surface better progress telemetry since right now, large RDS restores are a bit of a black box until they complete or fail. Finally, DocumentDB and MongoDB Atlas backup support would round out our stack nicely.

Cloud backups have simplified disaster recovery and now demand simpler first-time setup
For people looking for on-premises infrastructure with their disaster recovery in the cloud, Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot can help because it is easy to recover from. Additionally, if they are trying to migrate, they can use this solution as well. However, it depends on the customer's use cases and whether they really want to spend that much money and time on it. It requires new setup, licenses, and infrastructure investments. If customers do not have the existing infrastructure, then there is no use for it. However, if a customer already has good enterprise-level infrastructure, they can integrate this solution very easily.
