    HI Dav1234 

    If you're talking 8.3, then I would strongly suggest going RHEL or CentOS. I would also look at MSDP Cloud (or MSDP-C which is new to 8.3). Although I like Solaris (and in fact cut my teeth using that OS), its days are numbered - I have no knowledge of how long Veritas will continue to support this as a server platform, but I imagine as its use declines it will go the way of HP-UX and AIX and only be supported as a client. 

    Cloud Catalyst will continue to be supported but it will be depreciated at some future time, MSDP-C is the way to go as it does not require a separate media server to drive it and it has a number of other feature benefits also. The MSDP-C does require RHEL or CentOS as the OS platform - hence a second reason for my original suggestion (a Cloud Cataylst server would also requires a RHEL platform).

    Hope this helps
    David

Hello Team,

we have around 76 Tb data, earlier customer  asked us  that we need this much data for 3 months retention period and so we have put that data in one of storage (temporary for three months only) but now client want us to increase the retention for 7 years and we cannot increase to 7 years on that storage. we do have appliances but that also dont have this much space.

client suggest us AWS option to migrate that 76 Tb of data to glacier.

i have gone through couple of docs like how to integrate AWS with netbackup? How to configure cloud catalyst means what would be the pre-requisites? what would be the cost?

is there any other method to migrate data to cloud  w/o configuring cloud catalyst through netbackup? which is lesser in cost!!

has anyone did this?if yes, can you please share the POA?
