Adding compute

In certain data protection scenarios, after you add a source to R‑Cloud, you must add also compute to ensure that R‑Cloud has access to computing resources that are required to create and run data movers. Adding compute is mandatory in the following scenarios:

  • If you plan to protect the iManage Cloud, Box, or Microsoft 365 SaaS applications.

  • If you plan to protect SaaS applications that do not run natively in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, and your company security policies require using your own compute for creating data movers.

Depending on your data protection environment, you must add one or more s, Azure resource group, or Google Cloud projects to R‑Cloud as compute. For instructions on how to add compute, see one of the following topics:

Compute Instructions
Adding an AWS account as compute
Azure resource group Adding an Azure resource group as compute
Google Cloud project Adding a Google Cloud project as compute

To access the Compute dialog box, click  Administration, and then select Compute.

Prerequisite

You must have the Administrator role assigned at the level at which you are adding compute (the subscription or protection set level).

Considerations

  • You can add compute also when setting up a target. For details, see Setting up targets.

  • The computing resources that are added to R‑Cloud as sources are displayed in R-Graph, whereas the ones that are added to R‑Cloud as compute are not.

  • Adding compute at the subscription level allows you to add the same compute to multiple protection sets at the same time.
