Asigra Enhances Televaulting with Agentless Continuous Data Protection

Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

Asigra, the technology specialists in agentless remote backup and recovery software, has made a significant enhancement to its Televaulting platform with the addition of agentless Continuous Data Protection (CDP) functionality. This feature provides event-based real-time backup of changed data to virtually eliminate data loss for Windows, Linux, and Microsoft Exchange environments. Televaulting's CDP makes it the first remote office/branch office (ROBO) distributed backup software to add agentless CDP functionality without charging users any additional licensing.

Key Takeaways:

  • Asigra's Televaulting platform now includes agentless Continuous Data Protection (CDP) functionality, which provides real-time backup of changed data without any additional licensing fees.
  • The CDP feature is integrated into the DS-Client component of the Televaulting software, which is installed at remote sites, and provides automatic backup of changed data offsite.
  • The DS-Client maintains Asigra's agentless architecture even when CDP is enabled, and allows for automatic retention policies enforcement without manual intervention.
  • Asigra's CDP solution is designed to mitigate anticipated WAN latency issues, and dynamically adjusts the RPO granularity based on the available WAN capacity.
  • Existing Asigra customers can add CDP functionality at no cost as part of an Upgrade Subscription to Televaulting version 6.2.
  • Asigra's Televaulting platform is the first ROBO distributed backup software to add agentless CDP functionality, making it a significant enhancement in data protection.
  • The CDP feature provides a more efficient backup option based on its virtually unlimited granularity, allowing customers to restore data from an infinite number of recovery point objectives.
  • Asigra delivers these benefits without the need for excessive backend storage accumulation to support the CDP functionality, minimizing capacity requirements and resultant customer cost savings.
  • Asigra's President and CDS Marc Staimer notes that "Offering this functionality as a non-chargeable agentless feature of their distributed backup software is a stroke of genius. It has the potential of radically altering the data protection market landscape."
  • Thomas Dugan, President of eSource Group, states that "Our clients trust us to provide the best business continuity and disaster recovery services - their businesses depend on it. Asigra's Televaulting CDP ensures the utmost in ROBO data protection without a huge increase in backend data accumulation."
  • Eran Farajun, executive vice president of Asigra, adds that "Continuous Data Protection further removes the data loss vulnerabilities between regular scheduled backups by optimizing Recovery Point Objectives (RPO), adding another powerful feature to the Asigra Televaulting platform, without adding cost."

Statistics:

  • Asigra has over 3 petabytes of data under protection.
  • Asigra's Televaulting platform provides a more efficient backup option based on its virtually unlimited granularity.
  • Existing Asigra customers can add CDP functionality at no cost as part of an Upgrade Subscription to Televaulting version 6.2.
  • Asigra's CDP solution is designed to mitigate anticipated WAN latency issues.
  • Asigra's Televaulting platform has WAN optimization techniques, including de-duplication, data compression, block-level incremental backup, and incremental forever backup.
  • Backup data sent over a WAN from a remote site to a data center is protected by encryption up to AES 256 in flight and at rest.
  • Asigra's CDP is currently available as part of the Asigra Televaulting remote backup software.
