Asempra Upgrades Instant Recovery Solution
Business Continuity Server 3.0 introduces protection for real-time SQL databases
Santa Clara, Calif. (February 3, 2008) - Asempra Technologies, the leading provider of instant recovery solutions for Windows applications and data, today unveiled the latest version of its Business Continuity Server(TM) (BCS), adding instant recovery of real-time SQL databases among many other new capabilities, ensuring that customers' mission critical applications and revenue streams stay highly-available following a system failure.
Asempra's new BCS 3.0 is an instant recovery product optimized to quickly bring a business back online after local outages or disaster. With instant recovery for SQL databases, the BCS 3.0 reduces recovery time from hours or days typically required to restore a multi-terabyte SQL database to as little as 30 seconds. Leveraging Asempra's Virtual-On-Demand Recovery(TM) technology, Asempra enables critical 24/7 applications to be recovered and on-line in a matter of seconds while the full database is restored transparently in the background, eliminating downtime, data loss and lost revenue. To date most SQL database administrators have had to resort to a time-consuming manual process for creating recovery points.
Irving, TX-based CONEXIS, one of the country's largest providers of employee benefits administration services, depends on the Asempra BCS to protect its SQL databases, and its profits. "Our primary application has an SQL database backend, and the application doesn't work if the database isn't available," said Kenya McDaniel, Infrastructure Manager at CONEXIS. "When you're dependant on your application to make money and you can't get your data back within 10 minutes or so you're in deep trouble and there's no telling how much money you've lost. We have several databases and all of them are being protected by Asempra."
"For businesses that run on SQL, downtime can seriously damage or even kill the company. These business-critical databases need to have absolute availability," said Gary Gysin, President and CEO of Asempra. "By providing instant recovery for SQL, Asempra is addressing not just the pain points of data protection, but the profit centers that directly impact the bottom line. The Asempra BCS 3.0 is really the only choice for organizations that can't afford to suffer from costly outages and lengthy downtime."
In addition to its enhanced support for SQL recovery, the Asempra BCS 3.0 release adds a broad range of new functionality to eliminate the pain of server failures and extend the benefits of one-click instant recovery for Microsoft Exchange, SQL and Windows file servers. The BCS 3.0 greatly improves Recovery Time Objectives by retaining up to six months of historical data, allowing users to rollback to any point in that time period and instantly recover previous versions of documents or data while enabling many customers to eliminate the hassles of tradition tape backup in their environments altogether. Asempra has also simplified and improved manageability features with a single integrated management console and role-based security access control and administration aimed at catering to the emerging service provider and cloud computing markets. Finally, BCS 3.0 adds support for Unicode pathnames and characters across Exchange, SQL and Windows file servers which provides Asempra products with the international language support it requires to continue expansion particularly into the European and Asian markets.
