Asigra Televaulting for Geographically-Dispersed LANs The Data Protection Solution for Enterprise Networks Many challenges face the IT executives and managers who are responsible for large, complex networks. One of the most formidable is protecting the vital enterprise information that’s distributed across LANs in remote offices and factories. Facilities around the country and around the world that rely on local tape backup and restore systems. Safeguarding this remote data is often a hit-or-miss proposition. Backup quality depends on local staff and equipment. Information that’s crucial for day-to-day operations, as well as legal compliance, may go unprotected. Backing up data locally 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 may seriously affect your on-going business. Bottom line, traditional local backup with tape lacks consistency, reliability, and accountability. Now there’s a more effective solution for enterprise-wide backup Asigra Televaulting is a WAN-based backup/restore solution that overcomes local tape limitations. It includes all the tools and functions you need to manage your distributed data from one central hub. Securely, reliably and efficiently. You can effectively protect each LAN, including all desktops, across your entire network. Data from these “data islands” is securely transmitted over your IP WAN to your central online repository for backup. You control the backup functions. You control the storage media. You decide which information is critical, which is important. Which to store online and which to archive offsite. And you avoid costly downtime because lost data can be quickly restored, either by your local IT administrator or the central help desk. Key Benefits Simple, fast installation: No need to install an “agent” on every target machine you need to protect. Just one free software application on one piece of hardware at each site. Lower backup costs: Unlimited-seat licensing means you pay only for the total amount of compressed data from across your enterprise – no matter how many machines you're protecting. Lower admin costs: Centralized administration eliminates many local costs associated with staffing, technology and tape storage. Upgrades are silent and automatic, without user intervention. Service Level Agreement accountability: Online reports ensure that pre-negotiated SLAs with internal users are being met. No local action needed: The fully automated process uses your existing IP-WAN to take data offsite securely, eliminating the old courier-based manual tape process. Fast and efficient data recovery: Restore critical data quickly to any location on your WAN from the online vault in your enterprise data center. Flexible and scalable: Supports thousands of sites or "data islands" across virtually any type of IP network. Data security: Advanced security and authentication algorithms, including AES encryption, ensure the safety and confidentiality of your data at all times.
