Solution Architecture
The solution consists of one or more Clumio Cloud Connectors “Connector VM” deployed in a customer’s VMC SDDC. Clumio’s architecture takes advantage of Amazon S3 endpoints to maximize performance and negate the egress costs associated with moving backup data from a customer’s VMC Connected VPC to the Clumio cloud service.

Figure 1: Preferred solution utilizing AWS VPC Endpoints for connectivity to S3 when VMC and the Clumio service are deployed in the same AWS region.


Figure 2: Solution utilizing internet gateway for connectivity to S3 when VMC and the Clumio service are deployed in different AWS regions.
