Backup and Vault: compliance does not stop at compute

For a VMware exit, Backup as a Service replaces the Veeam/on-prem brick once VMs are imported (VMDK, QCOW2, ISO). Do not “turn on backup” on cutover day. The 10 to 20 VM pilot must test a restore, not only a green job. Retention and pilot RPO/RTO are mapped with an engineer, no public number is published. Hikube does not clone every Veeam plugin. S3 object storage remains if you keep a tool you operate. Path: the VMware exit. Product: managed backup.

Hikube block storage is always geo-redundant (Geneva, Gland, Lucerne), with synchronous replication (real time) or asynchronous (improved performance). That is not the same RPO. That is not Backup as a Service. Backup as a Service is the managed copy for DR and audits. We publish neither IOPS nor RPO nor an SLA credit. Block detail: block storage.

A green job is not evidence. FINMA and DORA files expect tested restores, written retention, a DR plan. nFADP: location, DPA, isolation. Hikube is not an HDS host and is not HDS-certified: that French frame is not the positioning. Finance: the finance and FINMA path. Swiss healthcare: healthcare. Hikube supports location and the copy; the memo and DPIA stay yours.

Data at rest includes the secrets that decrypt it. A Swiss cluster + Azure Key Vault or an AWS KMS is a weak argument. Vault as a Service aligns the vault with the same jurisdiction. Kubernetes, CI and GPU jobs plug in. Product: the secrets vault.

Velero is an optional Kubernetes addon (cluster backup and restore). Backup as a Service targets instances and volumes, including VMware DR. Both can coexist. Do not mix them in a tender. Addons: the Kubernetes platform.

Hidora SA operates the platform copy, the managed vault, the three DCs and FR/EN support. You keep runbook, tests, written retention, pilot RPO/RTO, DPIA and the outsourcing memo. Terraform integration in preparation: today, Hikube API and console.

Hikube S3 object storage has two WORM modes: governance and compliance. That is an object bucket, useful for archives and evidence. It is not the restore of a VM imported from VMware. Backup as a Service is the managed copy. Both can coexist in the tenant. S3 detail: S3 object storage.

14-day trial, no credit card. Put backup and a restore test in the pilot, not on cutover day. Terraform integration in preparation: today, Hikube API and console. Request a trial, or talk to an engineer.
