Cloud Data Backup, Storage and Recovery

Statistics show that on average, over 40% of businesses that do not have Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Backup Technology in place go out of business after a major loss like a fire, a break-in, a storm, or sabotage.

Calm Response understands the importance placed on the security and availability of IT systems. As a successful small business ourselves, we understand the necessity of protecting and backing up confidential company and client data; quick restoration whenever important data is lost; the importance of business continuity alongside disaster recovery planning; and the overarching value of consistent and predictable costs.

Companies are now producing and sharing more data than ever, while new regulations are forcing these same companies to store their data for longer periods of time.

This brings up some very complex problems that might not be always obvious to non-technical decision makers in areas such as Finance, Accounting or Legal. But these issues have forced businesses of all sizes to review their current IT solutions. Often overlooked, proper backup procedures can make the difference between bankruptcy and survival when an IT disaster strikes.

Advanced Backup and Recovery Solution

This best of breed solution delivers advance functionality leveraging NetApp FAS Storage and Asigra’s industry leading Televaulting solution, providing an agent-less. Multi-site backup /recovery solution. This solution combines Enterprise / ROBO / Mobile Users / Virtual Server and MSP provisioning with a disk-based WAN-optimized architecture to provide security and business continuity that traditional backup software simple cannot deliver.

Regardless of an organization’s size or industry focus, one thing remains constant; IT organizations must implement solutions to ensure that critical business systems and data are continuously available. As organizations scale they quickly realise that tape and existing secondary storage solutions do little to help guarantee business continuity due to physical and technological limitations. The answer to these challenges is to disk-to-disk backup combined with de-duplication and network optimization.

The Asigra’s Televaulting disk-disk (D2D) software solution offers customers a highly reliable, high-speed replacement for legacy tape-based, remote site backup / recovery systems. This solution enables fast data recovery at remote sites thanks to an advance agent-less architecture with built-in (256bit AES). Unlike traditional appliance-based solutions, the Asigra Televaulting solution can backup and recovery virtually any server, laptop, desktop or virtual machine on a geographically dispersed network.

When combined with NetApp’s Leading FAS storage, Asigra’s solution is ideal for the following scenarios:

• Remote Office Branch Office (ROBO)
• Production Servers and Databases (Exchange, Oracle, SAP, SQL Servers etc.)
• Virtual Machine Backup and Recovery
• Laptops and Desktop Backup and Recovery (Windows 2000 or higher, Apple’s OSX, Solaris, Linux Red Hat and Suse)
• Support for multi storage architectures including DAS, SAN or NAS

Asigra’s agent-less architecture provides advance connectivity to all servers, laptops, desktops and virtual machines connected to the network while minimizing deployment and ongoing management costs associated with an agent-based solution. With Asigra you have real time access to all relevant data without the need for space hogging snapshots or complex server based image mirroring.

Calm Response has teamed up with a leading NetApp Embedded Solutions Partner, to bring together the power of a leading NetApp FAS Storage with Asigra’s Televaulting solution to deliver a solution that meet customers Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) to ensure dependable access to mission critical organizations.

The NetApp / Asigra Televaulting Backup and Recovery solution provides functionality that extends beyond the capabilities of EMC Avamar and Symantec’s PureDisk solutions. The Asigra solution provides client-side deduplication, encryption and compression to minimize data transmission risks across the WAN. This also maximizes the use of disk within your datacenter that is typically reserved for post-deduplication processes.

Asigra’s agent-less architecture is a key to the solution that dramatically reduces the cost of deployment and ongoing management for mobile endpoints, virtual machine and more. Asigra goes beyond the capabilities of NetApp SnapShot and SnapMirror, providing an end-to-end backup / recovery and data security solutions that is unrivalled in the market.
