ASIGRA DELIVERS FIRST AGENTLESS BARE METAL RESTORE
CAPABILITY FOR THE DISTRIBUTED ENTERPRISE
Quick and easy approach brings reduced complexity
and cost savings for business
TORONTO – May 12, 2005 – Asigra™, the technology specialists in agentless distributed backup and recovery software for network computing, announced that the company’s Televaulting™ for Enterprises is the first agentless solution to enable bare metal restore capabilities across distributed enterprises. Easily deployed to address hardware failure and disaster recovery applications, Asigra’s bare metal restore is the first agentless solution for distributed environments that delivers reduced complexity and greatly reduced costs for IT professionals with mid-to-large enterprises.
The bare metal restore capability, part of the industry’s only agentless, multi-site backup and recovery software, allows administrators to quickly recover lost, damaged or corrupted data in a highly streamlined fashion to any bare metal system (at any location throughout the enterprise) without having to manually reinstall operating systems or configure hardware prior to use. Asigra’s bare metal restore allows administrators to restore the complete system on new hardware – regardless of manufacturer – including local data, user profiles, registry/system state, service pack files and encrypted files. And, unlike other legacy agent-based backup software vendors, this bare metal restore functionality is available to Asigra Televaulting users at no additional cost thanks to the company’s compressed capacity-based licensing model.
“Using Asigra’s bare metal restore functionality, distributed enterprises now have an agentless way to restore full systems onto bare metal for quick resumption of operations following hardware failure, system upgrades or facility disaster,” said Eran Farajun, executive vice president of Asigra. “As the first agentless way to restore data onto bare metal computers in distributed environments, Asigra’s bare metal restore functionality delivers the ability for administrators of distributed enterprises to recover information with a highly flexible solution that provides substantially reduced complexity with reduced costs.”
"With Asigra's centralized approach to backup and recovery and bare metal restore functionality, administrators can quickly create a fully restored system for use throughout the distributed enterprise, regardless of location," said Dianne McAdam, senior analyst for Data Mobility Group. "Televaulting eliminates the complexity typically seen in backup and recovery for distributed environments, allowing companies to efficiently recover systems after a loss, corruption or site disaster."
Asigra’s Televaulting is a comprehensive software solution that allows businesses to implement distributed data protection featuring grid-based performance and capacity scaling, utility service provisioning, and the ability for advanced WAN optimization techniques including common file elimination and compression that conserves bandwidth and storage by transmitting multiple copies of files only once. Security is hard-coded into the solution to provide AES encryption for data while in-flight and at-rest.
Televaulting eliminates many backup pain points through technology that is designed for enterprise-wide centralization, built from the ground up to perform on a global level. It is tested and certified compatible by leading infrastructure providers not to take the place of data center backup software, but complement it for multi-site backup and recovery. Business benefits that differentiate Asigra's offering from other backup solutions include true regulatory compliance, reduction in worldwide IT management expenditures, and compounded reduction of both hardware/software capital and enterprise-wide license costs. Asigra also offers a "pay-as-you-grow" compressed-capacity-based licensing model, allowing users to pay only for storage under management. The initial implementation capacity is based on the amount of compressed data to protect. After that, customers are charged per compressed terabyte of additional storage.
