Data Protection and Backup

“Asempra enables its customers to protect data from a recovery perspective ensuring that applications are protected up to the second.”

Brian Babineau, Analyst

The inevitable outage occurs, and your IT staff starts restoring from backups. Hours or days later, the IT team has application services up and running – somewhat.  However, data created in-between backups is lost forever, and a portion of the stored backup files are found to be corrupt and can’t be immediately retrieved. How do you ensure this doesn’t happen again?

With Asempra’s Business Continuity Server, your valuable data would have been completely protected, and accessible in a fraction of the time of traditional backup and restore processes. Instead of planning backup schedules and windows to control risks, the Asempra BCS protects applications and data continuously in real-time, for near-zero data loss and the ability to easily roll-back to any point-in-time. Asempra’s event capture and indexing techniques ensure 100% usable data – eliminating corrupted backups and multiple recoveries. Plus, Asempra’s instant recovery approach allows restoration of Exchange, Windows, and SQL servers in seconds or minutes instead of hours or days – so your users can be productive.

Eliminate Backup Windows and Data Loss

Your business operates 24x7, relying on continuous availability of business transactions, customer records, email messages, and important documents. Protecting entire files or storage blocks at scheduled intervals means your business can lose hours or days of valuable data between backups. To intelligently protect your data and eliminate data loss, the Asempra Business Continuity Server transparently and continuously records your application data as every event occurs in real-time. Seamless integration with your existing tape software and hardware infrastructure allows you to use the BCS to generate backups, eliminating server backup windows, achieving near-zero data loss, and substantially lowering your backup costs and complexity.

Instantaneous Recovery

Recovery time used to be based on the size of the data set being recovered – until now. With Asempra’s patent-pending virtualized recovery and data protection technology (Virtual On-Demand Recovery™), recovery time is independent of the size of the data set, allowing you to recover Exchange or SQL servers as fast as 30 seconds after a storage failure. Business applications can be restored immediately -- the Asempra Business Continuity Server recovers the data objects your application needs on demand, while it's running, enabling recovery time objectives (RTO) to be measured in seconds to minutes. The Asempra Business Continuity Server recovers data at any desired granularity. By being transaction-aware, Asempra is able to provide a scalable solution that can recover anything from a single email message or file, to a complete server or database, and even an entire server farm.
