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.
Solution Components Clumio Cloud Platform: Provisioned and managed by Clumio, delivered as a service to customers. Customers interact with the cloud service via web or RestAPI for visibility and configuration of backup.
Clumio Cloud Connector: Virtual machine deployed in SDDC that conducts movement of data from source to Clumio Cloud Platform.
