DATASTOR Shield™ patented source-side deduplication technology uses a sub-file adaptive content factoring process which is globally distributed across all production servers, client computers or cloud-based storage.
The process is technologically superior to other software-based solutions in that the fully distributed method is extremely efficient with core memory, network bandwidth and computing resources, allowing the process to run on laptop computers and across large networks of enterprise servers.
DATASTOR patented deduplication technology saves you time and money by removing redundant data at the source, allowing for faster secure backups consequently reducing storage requirements.
Outdated backup products use a target-side deduplication storage device to deduplicate data, either in-line or post-process. This means the deduplication occurs after the data has travelled across the network. Network congestion is amplified because every time you back up your data you re-send it across the network.
DATASTOR patented True Source-Based Deduplication is 100% software-based, meaning all the deduplication occurs on the client computer before it travels across your network to the storage device of your choice. This results in appreciably shorter backup times, even when you have remote locations connected over a slow WAN link.
Three levels of data verification ensure recoverability of data. On an ongoing basis, data is continuously tested for referential and data integrity. Data with errors are quarantined and queued for self-healing. This ensures long-term availability of data.
Archive Manager provides a command and control centre for your centralised backup, restore, and site-to-site replication with fast, simple, and reliable full-system recovery for Windows Servers, Virtual Machines, and Workstations.
Through the central management console, you’ll implement a strategy to effectively and efficiently centralize backups to disk, tape, and cloud storage, according to your needs. Agentless deployment means the powerful source-side deduplication engine is automatically deployed on demand to all managed computers, which eliminates downtime for software upgrades.
The familiar MMC interface makes creating backup tasks and restoring data easy. For added security, strong AES-256 encryption and cloud integration ensures your backup data is protected offsite in the event of a major disaster.
Support for protecting your Microsoft® SQL and Exchange databases is included with the Enterprise software, and optional for the Scalable Protection Server. Multistage data verification, automatic self-healing, and long-term data retention options ensure you are able to preserve data according to the policies you specify, for as long as you need it.
Daily checkup reports provide you with a snapshot of the health of all your backup tasks and system resources — they even tell you what jobs were supposed to run, but didn’t, so you know the exact state of your backups. Your data is stored on the hardware of your choice without the need to buy a specific storage platform.
The EPS solution licensing is best for larger environments that need it all, including SQL and Exchange, and have numerous VM servers.
One license is required per server, virtual machine, or desktop/laptop. There’s no extra software to install.
The Archive Manager server automatically discovers servers, virtual machines, and workstations to back up. A scheduled task is installed on the client computer which runs the core deduplication engine, eliminating redundant data at the source, cross-checking data against all other managed computers, minimising backup storage requirements.
Only new or changed data at the sub-file level is transferred to backup storage, reducing the backup window and avoiding unnecessary bandwidth use of your network connection.
Getting data offsite is a critical element to any backup strategy. We’ve made it easy with our Amazon S3 integration. You should never have to rely on encryption keys managed by third-party cloud storage providers. With our solution, you manage your encryption key, so only you can access your data. Military-grade strong AES-256 encryption means your data is secured before it’s ever sent offsite.
What good is global deduplication if you can’t leverage cost savings when sending data to the cloud? Our solution is built from the ground up to keep you saving money, even when using cloud storage at data reduction rates that are up to 20 times greater than other backup offerings. This means your cloud storage cost will be a fraction of what you would otherwise pay. Using our patented deduplication technology with cloud storage eliminates waste, making full system backups and restores even faster!
With all the hype of cloud storage, why would anybody want to use that “old” tape technology? Well, quite simply, if you have already invested in this technology, you should make the best use of it. And with our solution, there are some very compelling reasons to consider it as an alternative to cloud storage.
For backup storage requirements greater than 10 TB, tape is generally the most cost-effective solution for getting data offsite. Total life-cycle cost, it’s cheap. Toss in fully integrated deduplication and we make your tape solutions even more affordable. Combined with our software we can turn a 1 TB tape cartridge into a massive 20 TB of backup data (no kidding). You’ll spend 1/20th the cost for pickup and delivery services because you simply don’t need to manage as many tapes.
Datastor tape vaulting technology works identical to the vaulting process used for cloud storage, which means you can make a seamless transition from tape to cloud storage when the time is right for you.
Generally, the total cost of ownership of tape storage is less for backup storage requirements of 10 TB or more. If your backup storage requirements are less than 10 TB and you have adequate Internet connectivity, cloud storage may be an easy-to-deploy alternative to consider. We can help you sort out the options and decide which is best for you.
