About private clouds from Amazon S3-compatible cloud providers

NetBackup supports the private clouds or cloud instances from the following Amazon S3-compatible cloud providers:

  • Amazon GovCloud

  • Cloudian HyperStore

  • Hitachi

  • Verizon

Before you configure a private cloud in NetBackup, it must be deployed and available.

Use the Advanced Server Configuration dialog box

On the select media server panel of the Cloud Storage Configuration Wizard, click the Advanced Settings option. Then, in the Advanced Server Configuration dialog box, select the relevant options from the following: Use SSL, Use Proxy Server, HTTP Headers, and so on.

Note:

NetBackup supports only Certificate Authority (CA)-signed certificates while it communicates with cloud storage in the SSL mode. Ensure that the cloud server (public or private) has CA-signed certificate. If it does not have the CA-signed certificate, data transfer between NetBackup and cloud provider fails in the SSL mode.

Note:

The FIPS region of Amazon GovCloud cloud provider (that is s3-fips-us-gov-west-1.amazonaws.com) supports only secured mode of communication. Therefore, if you disable the Use SSL option while you configure Amazon GovCloud cloud storage with the FIPS region, the configuration fails.

The Create an account with service provider link on the wizard panel opens a cloud provider webpage in which you can create an account. If you configure a private cloud, that webpage has no value for your configuration process.
