Asigra Inc. has announced converged data protection via the Asigra Cloud Backup Version 13 offering.
Version 13 offers disaster recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS) enablement featuring VMware vSphere replication, endpoint data loss prevention, open infrastructure support for FreeBSD on ZFS and CentOS, and integration with Linear Tape File System (LTFS) for long-term retention of backup data.
Data protection complexity remains a challenge for enterprises seeking broad protection of multiple operating environments across distributed locations. While some categories of data have short recovery time objectives (RTOs) and frequent recovery point objectives (RPOs), others such as email archives have longer RTOs and infrequent RPOs. Managing a spectrum of data protection options to ensure end-to-end data recovery can be extremely complicated and costly. Asigra Cloud Backup Version 13 offers a converged platform for all data located on physical servers, virtual machines, mobile endpoints and cloud applications.
“Simplifying data protection activities while actually improving service levels is a real priority for IT organizations,” said Phil Goodwin, research director at IDC. “Asigra’s converged data protection aims to make life simpler for IT staff by reducing the complexity of managing multiple backup, DR and archiving solutions. In addition, their recovery-based pricing and deployment alternatives can help make the acquisition cost more budget friendly.”
Asigra Cloud Backup v13 is a platform- and device-agnostic software solution that can be deployed as a public, private or hybrid cloud through a certified Asigra Hybrid Partner.
“Version 13 provides the ability to recover data where it lives, more efficiently and at a lower overall cost and complexity,” said David Farajun, CEO and founder of Asigra. “Our converged data protection software is uniquely positioned to return organizations to productivity regardless of the environment, providing superior business continuity from the IT core to the edge.”
