I do not need a solution (just sharing information)
So I started a discussion back in July 2013 regarding cloud providers which might provide AIR. Now I understand that there is no "integrated" option within NetBackup to do this, so I'm wondering if there are any service providers which "host" NetBackup domains which would allow me to, in essence, replicate to the cloud.
I currently have an appliance at a nearby facility which is starting to get tapped out and we may leave the rack space anyways. It seems if I could find a vendor that had a "farm" of appliances and "AIR as a service" I could simply purchase sufficient dedupe capacity and replicate there...
Anyone looked into something like this?
