PowerProtect Data Manager 19.11 Amazon Web Services Deployment Guide

AWS data-transfer costs

Amazon charges a monthly fee based on the amount and types of data transferred by PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE in an AWS cloud.

Consider the following information when planning your AWS architecture:

  • Most of the data that is transferred in an AWS cloud occurs between the hosts being protected and DDVE.
  • If Kubernetes is being used, data is also transferred between the protection engine hosts and DDVE.
  • Amazon does not have data-transfer fees for hosts that are in the same availability zone (AZ).
  • For details of all Amazon data-transfer fees, see Amazon EC2 Pricing.
NOTE

To minimize data-transfer costs, minimize the path that data transfers take by using as few availability zones and regions as possible.

For pricing of Amazon monthly hosting in general, see the Amazon Pricing Calculator.

An example of data transfer

The following items describe a possible data-protection scenario.

  • Twenty 100 GB databases that each have a daily change rate of 5 percent
  • Weekly full backups
  • Daily incremental backups and archived-log backups
  • An average deduplication ratio of 2:1 for initial full backups and for incremental backups
  • An average deduplication ratio of between 20:1 and 30:1 for subsequent full backups

This data-protection scenario would result in approximately 3,600 GB of data transfer in the first month.
