Implementing an Asigra backup/recovery solution produces immediate and dramatic benefits. Compared to legacy agent-based alternatives, Asigra software offers:
1.Significant savings.
Even if agents from traditional vendors were free, an Asigra solution would still enable huge
reductions in operating expenses. As per an estimate, first-year operating expenses alone approach $150,000 for an enterprise environment with 1,000 server agents. Annual
server maintenance and operating expenses for this same configuration add up to nearly $60,000. Eliminating agents eliminates those costs that are in addition to the purchase
price of agents.
2.Simple licensing.
DS-Client licenses actually ARE free. The DS-System offers businesses a unique pay-as-you-grow pricing model based on the aggregate amount of compressed data stored across the network. Simply purchase software the same as disk capacity—no license fees, no
tracking, no overspending on site licenses—customers pay only for compressed capacity consumed.One piece of soft ware to install, manage, and diagnose.
The Asigra software even self-upgrades, so there is no time-consuming and administrative-resource-draining pushing of agents or updates out to hundreds or thousands
of remote-site systems.
3. WAN/LAN/CPU resource conservation.
Asigra software runs with negligible impact on servers, workstations,and laptops, eliminating the CPU-cycle hits associated with agent-based solutions. Delta blocking, common fi le elimination and compression technologies also minimize impact on bandwidth and storage resources. While traditional agent-based backup/recovery solutions require implementation of high-speed pipes between the central data center and remote offi ces, Asigra enables the effective use of existing links such as DSL.
4. Robust, hardcoded security.
Asigra software provides both ‘in-fl ight’ and ‘at-rest’ data protection, utilizing up to 256 bits for AES encryption keys to guarantee extremely safe data transfer and storage. And, it works within the organization’s security framework—there are no agents to open hacker-tempting ports in the fi rewall. With secure data transmission across an IP WAN, the Asigra solution
helps businesses achieve compliance, minimize information-loss liabilities, and protect customer confi dence.
5. Elegant’ scaling.
The DS-System is capable of elegantly scaling both in the dimensions of capacity and performance.
This type of scalability is critical for environments with large numbers of remote sites, high-capacity data sets, and rapid high data growth. While agent-based solutions compound
complexity in rapid growth environments, the Asigra agentless backup/recovery solution easily accommodates new capacity, new applications, and new sites. Features such as
integrated loadbalancing ensure effi ciency across multiple DS-System IP addresses.
6. Backup consistency, improved recoverability.
The simplicity, effi ciency, and security of the Asigra system promote implementation of consistent data backup programs across remote sites. Able to implement more frequent,
successful backup processes, companies can significantly boost data recoverability in environments where success rates below 50% were once the norm.
