Q&A
Where Afi Azure Backups are stored?
When you protect your Azure with Afi backup you can select a single storage region for all your data, or implement a set of backup data residency policies to backup to multiiple geographic locations. Available Afi storage locations include the United States (Iowa), the European Union (the Netherlands), the UK, Canada and Australia.
How is Afi different from other backup options?
Afi provides a complete, secure and easy-to-use Microsoft Azure backup service, with no need to manage and maintain data protection infrastructure. You can install Afi from the Micrsoft Marketplace in just a few clicks, and all your team members can use it via a web UI, with no need of advanced DevOps knowledge.
Unlike legacy vendors that use agent-based backup, Afi leverages modern cloud technology and Azure native APIs. This enables Afi to achieve very secure and significantly faster backup and recovery performance (up to 2–3x), particularly in large, complex environments.
How much does Afi Azure backup cost?
Our standard price is $40 per VM per month and $60 per one terabyte of backup storage. You will only need to license VMs you protect.
We provide custom pricing for large deployments. Please contact us to get a quote, arrange a POC, or get access to the Afi-hosted test lab environment.
Do I need a Microsoft or Google account to start a trial?
By default, Afi uses cloud SSO services for identity and access management. When using your Microsoft or Google account to sign up, you aren't granting the Afi application any access to your Microsoft Azure or Google infrastructure.
You may use a test SSO account or an empty account that's not linked to a K8s environment; you will only need the SSO account to authenticate and access the Afi cloud dashboard. After you sign up, you'll be able to install an Afi backup agent and grant it access to the K8s infrastructure you need to protect.
Get in touch if you'd like to sign up for a trial without a Microsoft or Google SSO, or if you need to use an alternative SSO provider.
