NEBULA Bridge enables you to optimise your storage resources and accommodate growth by merging on-premises and cloud storage into one easy to manage entity.
How large should your storage be? At what rate does your data grow? How long will your hardware last? All these questions can be difficult to answer and getting the answers wrong leads to inefficiencies - either meeting only short-term needs or purchasing more hardware than is actually required.
NEBULA Bridge connects your locally stored data with your SymplyNEBULA cloud storage while preserving native, non-proprietary formats to ensure transparent access to the cloud. This avoids vendor lock-in and is the foundation of a more flexible, long-term strategy. Any data written into SymplyNEBULA via NEBULA Bridge is accessible via any standard S3 tool. So no more hidden costs.

Continuous Data Protection
NEBULA Bridge replicates every version of every file to the cloud, moments after being modified. The process is organic and provides infinite restore points. NEBULA Bridge does not need to walk the file system, create bulky snapshots, or make copies of the same files over and over again, meaning less data needs to be stored overall. In combining our versioning capabilities, high data durability, optional data immutability settings and replication between our geos, NEBULA Bridge provides a comprehensive air-gapped solution that is safe and robust to protect against ransomware and other forms of disaster.
Cloud Migration
Ensure your transition from on-premises to SymplyNEBULA cloud storage is as smooth as possible by adopting a hybrid approach. Migrate large data sets over a longer period without any downtime.
