The Data Protection Solution for Enterprise Networks
Many challenges face IT executives and managers responsible for large, complex networks. One of the most formidable tasks is protecting vital enterprise information distributed across LANs in remote offices and factories on servers and laptops around the world that have traditionally relied on local tape backup and restore systems.

Safeguarding remote data is often a hit-or-miss proposition. Backup quality depends on local staff expertise and equipment. Information that is crucial for day-to-day operations, as well as regulatory compliance, may go unprotected.

Backing up data locally to tape is also expensive. It requires an ongoing investment in staff, training, technology and supplies for each location. Managing offsite tape storage locally is a chore. Restoring data lost between storage periods is difficult and time-consuming, and seriously impacts on-going business.

Bottom line, traditional local backup with tape lacks consistency, reliability, and accountability.

Try a more effective solution for enterprise-wide backup
The Asigra Televaulting disk-to-disk (D2D) software solution offers a highly reliable, high-speed replacement for legacy tape-based, remote site backup/recovery systems. Designed with a focus on fast data recovery at remote sites, the Asigra Televaulting solution offers a unique agentless design, plus hard-coded security and WAN optimization techniques that differentiate it from competitive D2D backup consolidation software products.

Simple to set up and manage, the Asigra solution offers bottom-line benefits that range from lower administrative costs to pay-as-you-grow scalability. Emphasizing data recoverability, the Asigra Televaulting solution helps organizations with geographically distributed sites reduce business risk by ensuring dependable and ready access to critical office and laptop data.

Centralized Control
The DS-System software, installed at your central data center, enables your IT staff to manage the online vault and data repository. It incorporates a full range of powerful administrative features. The System Monitoring Tool automatically checks for backup errors.

Web-based Status Reports assure accountability, verifying that all backups occurred as scheduled. The central hub has a complete view of all sites from one interface that is easily integrated with existing SNMP-based monitoring and notification systems.

Easy Deployment Across the Enterprise
With Asigra’s agentless architecture, you only install a single software application, the DS-Client, at each remote location. That eliminates the cost of installing an agent or client on every machine you want to protect. It also makes your backup highly scalable.

You can automate client installations across a variety of operating systems and network configurations. The DS-Client can protect data from most operating environments including: Windows, Macintosh, Unix, Linux, including “hot” backup of Oracle, MS-SQL and MS-Exchange. It integrates fully with Windows NT domains, Trusts and Novell NDS trees, and otherwise adopts your local LANs’ existing security settings.

Lower Backup/Restore Costs
Unlike other backup solutions, Asigra’s unlimitedseat licensing model means that you pay only for the aggregate amount of compressed data from across your enterprise network. There’s no charge for local DS-Client software, no matter how many LANs you’re protecting.

Your backup cost per machine is minimized, because duplicate data that appears on networked computers – such as system files and registry settings – is sent only once to the online vault. As you add machines to individual LANs, the average cost actually goes down.

Most of the costs associated with tape backup will apply to your central location only. Your local expenses drop dramatically as you eliminate software license fees, tape technology upgrades or replacements, new and replacement tapes, offsite tape storage, recruiting, training and supporting local staff. And your data is guaranteed to be recoverable -- unlike tape backups.

Faster Backup, Faster Recovery
Asigra Televaulting automates and simplifies the backup/recovery process. Backup schedule is automatic and policy-based.

Many backup/recovery solutions require implementation of high-speed pipes between the central data center and remote offices. Asigra Televaulting leverages techniques such as common file elimination across sites and delta block technology (for transmission of only new or changed blocks) to enable the effective use of existing links such as DSL.

To speed recovery, the latest generation is stored on disk at your central data center. There, the system automatically stores critical data (used for day-to-day operations) and important data (legal and regulatory) to the appropriate media – critical on disk for fast access and recovery, important on tape for offsite storage. A marked improvement over traditional local tape backup methods that treat all types of data the same.

Hardware requirements
The DS-System application installed at the central hub runs on Solaris, Windows 2000 or higher, Macintosh, or Linux Red Hat and Suse. Storage architecture can be DAS, SAN or NAS.
