De-Duplication, Compression and No Double Backups Required: AppAssure Releases the Fastest and Most Scalable Backup & Recovery Solution for Microsoft Hyper-V

Reston, VA (PRWEB) April 7, 2010

AppAssure Software today released version 4.3 of Replay, the award-winning, next generation backup and disaster recovery software solution. Because Replay performs a single application-aware snapshot spanning the entire host machine and an unlimited number of guest machines in a Hyper-V environment, customers experience the fastest backup and restore process of the entire host, individual virtual machines or specific files within virtual machines compared to traditional backup and disaster recovery technologies.

“Other backup and recovery solutions simply didn’t scale as well as AppAssure’s Replay,” said Brendan Hourihan, technology services network engineer at Flagler College in St. Augustine FL. “Before we switched to Replay, we were consuming 9.6TB of backup storage space every two weeks. Now with Replay, we’ve used just over 1.5TB in the same time period, saving 84% storage space due to Replay’s advanced de-duplication and compression. That translated into a savings of several thousand dollars per year to our organization. That’s a very real ROI.”

While there’s undeniable movement away from agent-based backup in virtual machines, people are expanding their view of backup to encompass data protection as a whole, whether that means recovering an individual file or mailbox message, to replicating entire hosts at an disaster recovery site, said Chris Wolf, a senior analyst at the Burton Group.

Because traditional backup and recovery solutions require separate backup and recovery processes for Hyper-V host machines and each individual guest server, restoring a server or the entire environment can take several hours.

In contrast, AppAssures Replay 4 performs a single application-aware snapshot spanning the entire host machine and an unlimited number of guest machines, enabling a much faster backup and restore. In addition, companies can implement Replay 4 on a host machine and all guests through a single license, dramatically reducing backup and recovery costs in Hyper-V environments.

AppAssures approach to backup and disaster recovery of virtual machines running Hyper-V is extremely innovative, said Greg Shields, Founding Partner, Concentrated Technology and Microsoft MVP. Any organization leveraging Microsofts Hyper-V virtualization technology can benefit greatly from implementing Replay 4 as their backup and disaster recovery solution.

Customers using AppAssures Replay in Hyper-V environments experience the following benefits:

Inc. Magazine Ranks AppAssure as Fastest Growing Backup and Data Replication Company Nationwide with 3,450% Growth in Three Years

Reston, VA (PRWEB) August 29, 2011

AppAssure Software, leading developer of backup and disaster recovery software products for mission-critical Windows application servers, today announced that Inc. Magazine has ranked the company as the fastest growing company among all backup and data replication firms nationwide in the 2011 Inc. 500 list.

Based on overall revenue growth between 2007 and 2010, the Inc. 500 ranks the 500 fastest growing US companies across all industries. AppAssures 3-year growth rate of 3,450 percent placed the company high on this years list, well within the top 100, landing in position number 62 among all US companies spanning every industry.

Among US software companies across all technologies, AppAssure ranked in the top seven. No other backup and data replication software firm outpaced AppAssures growth rate, placing the company in the number one position as compared to its direct competitors. By comparison, traditional data replication vendors in the industry such as Symantec, Commvault and FalconStor all failed to grow by as little as five percent last quarter, compared to previous sequential quarters.

The company attributes its extreme growth to the demand for server failure recovery in minutes with AppAssures software rather than taking hours or days using traditional recovery products. Major clients such as AppRiver can attest not only to AppAssures total server recovery speed, but also its flexibility to recover with any degree of granularity in minutes, even individual mail items.

With more than 45,000 corporate customers around the globe, its important to retrieve messages accurately and efficiently so that we can better serve our clients, said Justin Allen, server engineer, AppRiver. Replays disaster discovery solution allows us to do just that.

Todays recognition by Inc. Magazine is the latest in a series of recent independent testimonies to the companys success:

AppAssure and eFolder Align to offer Cloud-Based Replication

AppAssure Transforms Backup Industry With Innovative, Ground-Breaking Technologies

Reston, VA (PRWEB) October 27, 2011

AppAssure Software, the global leader and award-winning developer of unified backup and replication software for virtual, physical and cloud environments, announced today the introduction of its Live Recovery, Assured Recovery and Universal Recovery technologies.

Highlights of these latest innovations in data protection and disaster recovery are:

Live Recovery technology: Instant restore for virtual and physical servers, offering near-zero downtime and allowing users to work in real-time during a full restore.

Assured Recovery technology: Automatic testing and verification for recoverability of every backup on any virtual or physical machine.

Universal Recovery technology: Cross-platform restore of data volumes from anywhere to anywhere, physical to virtual, virtual to virtual, virtual to physical or physical to physical (P2V, V2V, V2P, P2P) including bare metal recovery to dissimilar hardware. Also includes granular object-level recovery with application-item and file-level restore.

With Live Recovery technology, server administrators and cloud service providers can restore an entire application server with a recovery time objective (RTO) of seconds and recovery point objective (RPO) of only a few minutes for minimal data loss. Only with Live Recovery technology do users have full access instantly to their mission-critical applications and data during an actual total server recovery, without waiting hours or days until the volume is fully restored. According to David Wertz, President of PC Works Plus, Inc., a managed service provider, Recently we recovered a failed Exchange server on which we had AppAssure, and from the time it failed to when the client was back up and running was less than one hour. Creating the virtual image took 45 minutes and then in 15 minutes, we got the virtual machine fully running.

IT staff and cloud service providers have had to regularly perform backup and recovery drills by manually testing the recoverability of the backups of their critical applications. However this was an expensive and labor-intensive process that did not always guarantee optimal results. Now they can use Assured Recovery technology that automates a recovery verification procedure and ensures that every backup file is recoverable. They can be assured that their backups will be recoverable, whether on virtual or physical servers, every time immediately following each backup snapshot, as often as every 5 minutes. The ability for AppAssure to automatically test and verify our SQL database backup is terrific, said Michael Pratt, the Director of the Office of Information Technology at the University of West Alabama. This is a huge benefit due to our small staff and the fact that AppAssure is making it easy for us by automating the process of verifying the recoverability of each backup is unbelievable!

Universal Recoverys cross-platform recovery, with granular recovery capability, mitigates the many risks when users accidentally delete important emails or when scripts incorrectly update records. Now IT administrators can restore a full backup to any virtual machine (VM) or to dissimilar hardware in a matter of minutes, and also be able to instantly recover any granular application-items, files or message-level objects quickly from within a backup archive. Herb Thornton, Brundage Bones Network Administrator, said, A server would not start up at one of our remote locations but with AppAssure I was able to start up a virtualized image of the server within 20 minutes and then performed a bare-metal restore to another server.

After listening to our customers and partners for years, we have developed truly innovative technologies for virtual, physical and cloud environments to ensure that customers can recover instantly and be sure that their backups are recoverable, said Najaf Husain, AppAssures President and CEO. The launch of these technologies fortifies AppAssures reputation as an industry pioneer and extends our lead in the backup and recovery industry.

AppAssures speed and ease of use are great, and the continuous backup makes recovery go really smoothly, said Dave Buzzell, Sedona Groups CIO. Our IT environment is constantly changing, and only AppAssure has been able to keep up with it. We estimate that we can keep three years of continuous backups just due to AppAssures true global deduplication and compression technology. Thats amazing!

We attribute our success to listening to our customers and partners as trusted colleagues, said Najaf Husain, AppAssures President and CEO.

AppAssure Reports Another Record Year with 194% Revenue Growth in 2011

EFOLDER Introduces Cloud Recovery Service Supporting Both STORAGECRAFT and DELL APPASSURE Software Solutions

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 05, 2012

eFolder is pleased to announce the general availability of the eFolder Continuity Cloud. The eFolder Continuity Cloud is a wholesale, add-on service delivered to eFolder partners that enables the fast recovery of servers in the cloud on an emergency or as-needed basis. The eFolder Continuity Cloud is the only cloud recovery service that supports both StorageCraft ShadowProtect and Dell AppAssure server image recovery from a single cloud services provider. eFolder is unique in the wholesale cloud services space by providing an open cloud backup and recovery platform that leverages multiple best-of-breed backup software solutions.

The eFolder Continuity Cloud complements eFolders complete cloud data protection services portfolio, including eFolder Backup, eFolder BDR, and the eFolder AppAssure Cloud. The eFolder Continuity Cloud allows managed service providers (MSPs) to recover client servers, applications, and data in eFolders cloud environment in the event of on-site disasters or server outages at client locations. eFolders partners can avoid the cost and complexity of building their own disaster recovery environment, while leveraging eFolders cloud to deliver premium business continuity and disaster recovery services to business clients. MSPs offering strict 24 hour service level agreements for server recovery are able to generate lucrative and highly profitable recurring revenue streams from demanding business clients.

eFolder is excited to offer partners an open cloud recovery service that supports the leading bare-metal imaging software solutions used by the IT channel, said Kevin Hoffman, eFolder CEO/CTO. This newest service underscores our commitment to delivering an open cloud platform that gives choice and flexibility to MSPs.

For more than two years, eFolder has leveraged the strengths of ShadowProtect to enable MSPs to deliver premium backup and disaster recovery services with the eFolder BDR service powered by StorageCraft, said Curt James, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for StorageCraft. Now the eFolder Continuity Cloud gives partners a powerful new tool to recover their clients ShadowProtect images in the cloud. Were very pleased to be part of the eFolder solution.

Unlike traditional cloud recovery services that force MSPs to make large, upfront financial commitments to the service provider, eFolder partners can access the eFolder Continuity Cloud with as little as a single client installation. eFolder charges partners a competitive, wholesale weekly rate only when they need the service, for instance, when a client suffers an on-site disaster like a tornado, fire, flood, or other major business disruption. eFolder partners also avoid the higher per-gigabyte fees some cloud storage service providers have traditionally charged for similar cloud recovery capabilities.

The eFolder Continuity Cloud nicely complements our use of the eFolder AppAssure Cloud, said Lliam Holmes, eFolder partner and CEO of MIS Solutions, Inc. in Suwanee, GA. Now, we can leverage Dell AppAssure software for server imaging, confidently replicate our clients to the eFolder Cloud, and recover either on-site at the client location or in eFolders environment. We think this is a winning combination.

eFolder partners may access a free trial of the eFolder Continuity Cloud by contacting their eFolder Account Manager. For other interested MSPs, solution providers, and VARs looking to join eFolder, visit http://www.efolder.net/join

With the global deduplication and chain-free retention policies in the eFolder Cloud for AppAssure, I am now able to meet these more demanding client requirements.
