The Business Challenges

In today’s knowledge-driven businesses, employees and customers rely on data and applications to be available 24x7. E-mail messages, customer databases, and important business documents — all are critical to business operations. One can’t read the news today without seeing the disastrous results of a failed Exchange, SQL, or file server. With the health of the business at stake, mid-market IT professionals are under immense pressure to keep Windows-based ecosystems and data available at all times.

Ensuring continuous availability and protection of Exchange, SQL and Windows applications and data is an extremely difficult and complicated task for mid-market IT. To meet the challenge of 100% uptime and near-zero data loss, mid-market IT departments piece together disparate tools that are standalone products requiring manual integration for day-to-day operations and recovery. But the pieced together tools deliver only problematic results, requiring hours or days of extreme effort to recover from a storage failure and often forcing multiple manual recoveries as many recoveries are often found to be corrupt or be missing the appropriate data.

The Asempra Solution

Overcoming the severe limitations of traditional data protection products, Asempra’s revolutionary Business Continuity Server delivers an all-in-one continuous availability solution for Windows applications and data. Asempra’s patented application-aware, file-based, and real-time solution provides near-zero data loss with guaranteed application and data availability for Windows environments.

Using Asempra’s virtualized recovery and data protection technology (Virtual On-Demand Recovery™), an application and its data are available for use as fast as 30 seconds. No longer do applications have to wait for hours or days for a complete storage recovery for the applications and users to be productive. With the BCS’s continuous and instant availability, Asempra insures the data is there when the application is ready to start.

Data recovered by the BCS is guaranteed to be completely usable on the first recovery, is never lost, and is always available. With Asempra’s BCS, simple point-and-click, global-to-granular recovery provides flexibility that ranges from individual objects, such as a single e-mail or file, all the way to an entire server farm. The BCS provides an easy-to-use unified solution that incorporates all of the following storage technologies: real-time continuous data protection (CDP), application failover, snapshot, replication, disk-based backup, and seamless tape backup integration.

The BCS has received wide industry acclaim, including “BEST OF CONNECTIONS 2007” FINALIST (Windows IT Pro), “Outstanding Choice” (ByteandSwitch), and “Top 10 Start-Ups to Watch” (ByteandSwitch). Additionally, the BCS has been “Certified for Windows” by Microsoft, named by IBM as System Storage Proven™, and validated as “Ready for IBM Tivoli software.”
