Companies today need the ability to simply and securely collect, store, and analyze their data. Contour supports both traditional SAN/NAS storage as well as Object storage built to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere – web sites and mobile apps, corporate applications, and data from IoT sensors or devices. It is designed to deliver durability, and stores data for millions of applications used by market leaders in every industry. The Contour Cloud provides comprehensive security and compliance capabilities that meet even the most stringent regulatory requirements. It gives customers flexibility in the way they manage data for cost optimization, access control, and compliance. Contour is the only cloud storage solution with query-in-place functionality, allowing you to run powerful analytics directly on your data at rest.

Contour Cloud supports virtual environment for both VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V,. Leveraging Virtual Replication in order to deliver enterprise-class disaster recovery between private clouds, from satellite offices or DRaaS to the Contour Cloud with the same single software solution:

• Private Cloud – Any Storage Platform
• Hybrid Cloud – DRaaS, Intra-Cloud and reverse DRaaS
• Satellite Office – Any Distance
• Public Cloud – DRaaS from Azure and or AWS

Standby – This is a fully replicated data set of your data.  RPO 24 Hours and RTO can be in a little as minutes.   Pricing is based on the storage and licensing used while in standby; you only pay for your private cloud resources when a disaster is declared. With Standby DRaaS, gain protection from critical incidents without paying for redundant infrastructure.

Active – Suited for organizations with the strictest business continuity and compliance needs, Orange’s Active Disaster Recovery as a Service features a fully customizable, isolated Dedicated Private Cloud environment. Backed by our industry-leading disaster recovery SLA and SLO, Active DRaaS delivers recovery objectives (RPO and RTO) in minutes. The cloud environments are ideal for users with complex architectures and advanced configuration requirements, as well for those who need to move data before a disaster hits.

Contour Cloud provide a range of storage classes to meet the needs of compliance archives for regulated industries or active archives for organizations who need fast, infrequent access to archive data. Contour Vault Lock (Via Commvault) provides write-once-read-many (WORM) storage to meet compliance requirements for records retention. Lifecycle policies make transitioning data from tiers of storage simple, helping automate the transition based on customer-defined policies.

• Restore deletions quickly with Journal File Level Recovery
• Built-in 30-day journal retention gives thousands of recovery intervals with seconds of granularity
• Contour Cloud backup file is compressed, portable and restorable across multiple hypervisor, storage, and cloud platforms
• Offsite backup taken from the replicated data, not production, ensuring no backup windows or snapshots are ever run against production
• No need to try and schedule multiple backup jobs within a specific time frame

Is the practice of serving oneself, usually when purchasing items. The Contour Cloud allows you to test and failover without the intervention of any Contour Employees.  We provide you with the tools and the platform so that you can have a level of control that you need and want.

Because Contour Cloud resides in the cloud, users can access their data from any supported device, including Windows and Mac computers, Chromebooks, iPads, Fire tablets, and Android tablets. Contour Cloud can also be accessed using Web Access through Chrome and Firefox web browsers.
