why choosing babylon cloud
Babylon Cloud has developed a proprietary technology that guarantees maximum security and reliability. Every service is designed based on Babylon Cloud’s intellectual property models, offering customizable, resilient, and innovative products: from Object Storage to Cloud Computing, Streaming to Big Data.
IT SPECIFICATIONS
Object Storage Technology
Babylon Cloud provides a cloud storage solution based on a unified platform capable of delivering Cloud Backup, Sync&Share, File Transfer, and undifferentiated Application Storage services.
All services access data with the full functionality of Babylon Cloud: infinite versioning, cloud trash, links, virtual data rooms, sharing, hierarchical user and group management, retention policies, quotas, and alert management.
Babylon Cloud is accessible via the web through a user and administrator portal, with a backup client (available for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS, both for tablets and smartphones), or via API.
Features:
Backup
The client application, installable on PCs and servers, enables time-based or continuous backups, sending only the files that have changed since the last backup.
Restore by Date
Files, folders, and devices can be restored to any previous date following the first backup.
Mobile Access
Access files and folders via an app on mobile devices.
Links
Share files and folders with simple or password-protected links.
Sync&Share
Synchronize multiple devices and share synchronized folders in real-time with other users.
Time Machine
View folders and devices as they were at any previous point in time after the first backup.
Hardware
Babylon Cloud technology begins with in-house hardware assembly. The virtual machines handling computational activities, along with Babylon Storage, guarantee maximum security for data stored in the cloud, achieving fault tolerance of 5.
Babylon Box
The hardware foundation for ZODIAC’s operation is the Babylon Box, a machine used for all computational activities within the system.
Babylon Storage
To store the data managed by Babylon Box, we designed Babylon Storage to replace standard market hardware. These components are paired in infrastructures, achieving a fault tolerance of 5.
EFFICIENCY
Babylon Cloud 2.0 adopts a series of infrastructure strategies that overcome common limitations in the object storage market.
Babylon Cloud splits files into blocks, enabling:
- Resume of backups if interrupted while sending large files.
- Management and backup of large files (TB/hundreds of GB).
- Upload and download management for files of tens of GB via the portal (most existing portals have a 2GB structural limit).
The Babylon Cloud backup client uses an internal database, enabling:
- Optimized bandwidth usage with minimal cloud information requests.
- Faster backup starts with quicker realignment than competitors.
- Seamless realignment with the network.
security
Logical Security
Babylon Cloud systems have a high level of logical security by applying the highest levels of data management security for each customer, with extreme attention to privacy.
Encryption and obfuscation
Data communication is encrypted using HTTP protocol and obfuscated through segmentation and renaming of blocks with unique 512-bit hashes.
Authentication and identification
Files, folders, and users can only be deleted through a double command, allowing recovery before final deletion.
Control
Files and folders, as well as group users, can be erased only by a double command, enabling full recovery before permanent erasure.
Physical Security
Babylon Cloud systems ensure a high level of physical security by applying the highest standards in data management, with strict attention to privacy.
Redundancy
User data is protected by double redundancy through RAID 61 configuration. This ensures that no data is lost in case of a disk failure, as it is mirrored across other disks in the infrastructure. This guarantees that your business operations remain uninterrupted and safe up to the sixth point-of-failure.
Online Redundant Resources
Babylon Cloud’s strategy is to keep all resources online and redundant, eliminating recovery times or data loss to restore points (RTO and RPO). The system does not need to fix errors or failures but tolerates them while keeping secondary resources constantly online.
High Distribution
High resource distribution, all networked at the same level and connected to all resources at higher and lower levels, allows for optimal distribution of calls and I/O. This distribution helps optimize throughput while minimizing system response latency.
OPTIMIZATION
Resource optimization
The principles of overbooking and deduplication are key pillars of Babylon Cloud’s environmentally sustainable system. Additionally, the extremely low power consumption of Babylon Cloud production systems is powered by renewable energy sources, helping us achieve zero environmental impact for our production services.
Green cloud
Starting in 2023, with the opening of the new Data Center node in Rome, powered entirely by photovoltaic solar energy, Babylon Cloud becomes Carbon-free.
Overbooking
Babylon Cloud minimizes unused system resources by employing overbooking strategies, which allocate resources at the time of actual use rather than at the service allocation moment. Overbooking is a key reason for the very low power consumption (currently around 1.27 watts/TB nominal/day), which would otherwise be impossible to achieve.
DeduplicaTION
Block deduplication minimizes occupied space and internet bandwidth, ensuring that the system does not resend deduplicated blocks or store already-written information twice.
BIG DATA
Babylon Big Data Platform
The Babylon Big Data Platform is a comprehensive solution that integrates advanced technologies for managing business data. This platform collects unstructured data from various sources. It stores, normalizes, and centralizes data to transform into valuable resources for decision-making processes.
Platform Modules
