Arcserve UDP Cloud Direct - 1 TB Storage Space - 3 Year Subscription

Arcserve UDP Cloud Direct is a comprehensive data protection solution designed for organizations that demand reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient backup with cloud-first capabilities. This offering provides a 3-year subscription license paired with 1 TB of cloud storage, making it ideal for mid-sized to large environments that need predictable budgeting and flexible deployment options. Built on the trusted Arcserve UDP platform, Cloud Direct delivers streamlined management, faster recovery times, and robust protection against data loss, ransomware, and disasters. The Global License Program (GLP) framework supports Volume and Government licensing, enabling centralized procurement for enterprises and public sector customers who must license multiple instances of a single product across departments or sites. With this subscription, you gain access to cloud-native backup workflows, simplified license administration, and scalable storage that grows with your organization, all while maintaining strong security and compliance posture.

• Cloud-first backup with direct-to-cloud capabilities: Move backups straight to 1 TB of cloud storage without the need for intermediate on-premises backup devices, enabling faster offsite copies, easier disaster recovery drills, and reduced hardware footprint. This approach also simplifies retention configurations and long-term data archiving while preserving fast restore times for critical workloads.
• Three-year subscription license with predictable cost: Lock in a stable, renewable license term that aligns with budgeting cycles, eliminating surprises from per- incident charges or fluctuating capacity pricing while guaranteeing continued access to UDP Cloud Direct’s features throughout the contract period.
• 1 TB storage space included: A defined, scalable cloud storage allotment designed to accommodate daily backups, frequent backups of virtualized environments, and steady growth in data volumes across on-premises and cloud workloads, with room to scale as needed within the GLP framework.
• Volume and Government licensing under GLP: Simplified procurement for organizations requiring multiple licenses or government entities seeking compliant, centralized licensing, streamlining purchase orders, license tracking, and governance across global or regional deployments.
• Unified protection with strong security and governance: Data protection that emphasizes encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, comprehensive audit trails, and policy-driven retention to meet regulatory demands while preserving operational efficiency and speed in both backups and restores.

How to install Arcserve UDP Cloud Direct

Installing Arcserve UDP Cloud Direct involves configuring the UDP environment to leverage cloud storage while ensuring backup policies align with your backup windows, RPOs, and RTOs. The steps below provide a high-level guide to help you prepare for deployment and begin protecting your systems quickly:

• Obtain your Arcserve UDP Cloud Direct subscription license and access credentials from the Arcserve portal or your GLP administrator, ensuring the license key is ready for activation.
• Download the UDP Cloud Direct installer from the official Arcserve portal, then run the installer on a supported server or virtual appliance that meets the product’s hardware and software requirements.
• During installation, select the Cloud Direct storage option and specify the 1 TB storage target as the backup destination, establishing connectivity to the cloud account and enabling encryption settings for data in transit.
• Create backup policies that reflect your environment—define source assets (servers, databases, applications), backup frequencies, incremental vs. full backups, retention, and test restore procedures to validate recoverability.
• Launch an initial full backup, monitor the process in the UDP console, verify job completion, and perform a controlled restore to confirm data integrity and restore performance across workloads.

Frequently asked questions

• What does the 3-year subscription include? The 3-year subscription provides access to Arcserve UDP Cloud Direct features for a three-year term, along with 1 TB of cloud storage storage for backups. It’s designed to offer predictable budgeting, ongoing product updates, and license support under GLP terms for volume and government deployments.
• Is 1 TB of storage sufficient for all backups? 1 TB is included with the subscription for cloud backups. The sufficiency depends on your data growth, backup frequency, and retention policy. You can expand storage within the GLP framework or adjust retention to optimize utilization over time.
• Can I backup physical and virtual servers with UDP Cloud Direct? Yes, Arcserve UDP Cloud Direct supports protecting a range of on-premises and virtualized workloads. You can configure agents or agentless protection as appropriate for each asset and direct those backups to the cloud storage target.
• How does licensing under GLP help my organization? The GLP enables streamlined procurement for multiple copies of the same product, which is ideal for large organizations or government entities. It simplifies license management, compliance, and deployment governance across sites and departments.
• What security measures protect my data? Data is protected in transit and at rest using encryption, with access controls, role-based permissions, and audit trails to support governance and compliance requirements. You can implement additional security policies within the UDP console to align with your security framework.
• What happens at the end of the 3-year term? Upon term completion, you can renew the license under GLP terms, negotiate updated storage allocations, or transition to a different Arcserve licensing arrangement as your data protection needs evolve.
• How do I perform restores after backing up to Cloud Direct? Restores are initiated from the UDP console. You can perform granular file-level restores, database-level restores, or full-system recoveries, with options to restore to original locations or alternate destinations for testing or migration purposes.
