Asigra, specialists in agentless remote backup and recovery software, has announced its Televaulting software is the first agentless remote office branch office (ROBO) data protection solution to support the IBM System i and AS/400 server environments.
Asigra can now support IBMÆs installed base of more than 700,000 System i and AS/400 servers, delivering the advantages of continuous data protection, data duplication, and highly optimized automatic remote site backup to satisfy business continuity and compliance requirements.
According to analysts, almost 98 percent of Fortune 100 companies have purchased System i and AS/400 systems and maintain this platform. Users include 80 of the top 100 retailers and six of the top 10 supermarket and grocery chains worldwide. Additionally, 16,000 banks worldwide have AS/400 environments that have requirements for centralized remote and branch office backup and recovery.
Asigra Televaulting software has been certified to support backup of legacy IBM AS/400 systems. Also supported are AIX and Linux environments as well as hot backup of DB2 databases. Additional IBM platform interoperability is planned. Support for System i-AS/400 opens the door for highly efficient remote online backup of these environments. The expanded platform coverage is an embedded feature of Televaulting 6.2 and no additional software, agents, or licensing are required.
Asigra Televaulting is agentless, multi-site backup/recovery software that combines utility service provisioning with a disk-based WAN-optimized architecture to overcome the limitations of traditional distributed-backup software. AsigraÆs unique agentless architecture provides a simple, reliable and affordable solution to back up multiple remote servers deployed globally and consolidate the backups in the central datacenter, the company says. No server configuration is required and the backup administrator does not need specialized System i knowledge as Televaulting runs on either Windows or Linux systems.
Local onsite backup management is not required as the entire process is administered from a centralized remote site. By eliminating excessive software licensing costs and the expense of installing, managing, and maintaining backup hardware and software at each local AS/400 site, Asigra Televaulting provides customers with a disk-based backup solution that is more affordable, scalable, reliable, secure and manageable than conventional backup products, the company says.
ôAsigra Televaulting is the ideal remote data protection solution for System i-AS/400 users, given the strong remote office orientation of the markets where penetration of is strongest, including banking, retailing and manufacturing,ö said Eran Farajun, executive vice president of Asigra. ôThe grid-based architecture of Televaulting software delivers the performance and capacity scaling to keep pace when System i-AS/400 sites grow their user base and storage capacity to provide assured data protection regardless of the the data load. Strong encryption in-flight and at-rest guarantee the security that these businesses require,ö Farajun said.
AsigraÆs Televaulting ROBO software 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 to complement it for multi-site backup and recovery.
Business benefits that differentiate Asigra's offering from other backup solutions include: addressing compliance regulations with offsite encrypted data protection, reduction in worldwide IT management expenditures, and compounded reduction of both hardware/software capital and enterprise-wide license costs. Asigra offers a æpay-as-you-growÆ compressed-capacity-based licensing model, allowing users to pay only for storage under management.
Televaulting ensures that private customer data remains secure with the industryÆs highest-level commercial encryption, up to AES 256. During a backup operation, common files are de-duplicated both locally and globally, incremental delta block changes of data are compressed and then encrypted prior to transport over the WAN. Data remains encrypted in-flight and at-rest. The backup data is only unencrypted by the original client when it has retrieved the encrypted data from the data center for a restore.
