LiveVault Unveils Industry's First and Only Complete Solution for Automated End-To-End Data Backup and Recovery
LiveVault Fuses Network- and Disk-based Backup to Create LiveVault InControl and LiveVault InSync -- The First Products to Offer Complete, Automated Data Protection for Remote Offices and Small and Medium Businesses
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. and MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Feb. 14 - LiveVault Corporation (http://www.livevault.com/) today launched two new breakthrough products at the prestigious DEMO@15 conference -- LiveVault InControl and LiveVault InSync -- the first and only products that seamlessly couple network- and disk-based backup and recovery to create a complete and fully automated data protection system.
Addressing all four aspects of data protection -- data backup, offsite storage, archiving and data recovery -- LiveVault InControl, for remote offices, and LiveVault InSync, for small- and mid-sized businesses, succeed at doing what no other product has: giving organizations a simple, set-it-and- forget-it way to guarantee the safety of their data.
"Until now, companies had no way to automatically and completely protect their data," said Bob Cramer, president and CEO of LiveVault. "Disk-based backup products offer speed and improved reliability, but do nothing for archiving or protecting data from physical harm by getting it offsite. Network-based backup products are terrific for shuttling data offsite, but can't offer the same performance as disk-based solutions. For the first time, with LiveVault InControl and LiveVault InSync, businesses have all the performance of disk-based backup with all the protection of network-based backup, seamlessly fused together to create an infallible, drop-dead simple system that eliminates the possibility of data loss or corruption. Period."
Steve Duplessie, founder and senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, commented, "This is significant. The industry has rapidly been making the transition from tape to disk, but getting the data offsite is still a problem, particularly for remote offices or small- and medium-sized businesses that lack IT staff. The marriage of disk- and network-based backup makes a lot of sense for any business with distributed servers."
LiveVault InControl -- Centralized Backup and Recovery for Remote Offices
LiveVault InControl is designed for companies with remote offices, where it is extremely difficult for corporate IT departments to ensure the protection of data. Traditional solutions that require manual intervention or monitoring typically fail because it is difficult for non-IT personnel to manage tapes, properly deal with error conditions or even remember to start the backup process. Restoring lost data is even more vexing, and often requires IT personnel to travel to the remote office to recover the data.
LiveVault InControl eliminates these problems by putting total control of the remote backup and recovery process in the hands of the centralized IT department. Using nothing more than a Web browser, and with no involvement of remote office staff, the IT department can point and click to indicate what remote servers and data to backup. From then on, backup happens automatically and transparently, without any human intervention. Similarly, restoring data is as simple as pointing to the data and point-in-time version you want to restore. Everything else happens automatically.
Key features of LiveVault InControl include:
-- Automatic, unattended backup of remote office data -- no remote staff required
-- Secure, automatic transmission of backups to the corporate data center
-- protects against site disaster
-- Centralized management -- controlled by IT staff at headquarters
-- Integrated backup, offsite storage, archiving and recovery -- for complete data protection
-- Optional onsite LiveVault TurboRestore appliance -- for local rapid recovery of data
-- Continuous data protection (CDP) -- patented technology enables point- in-time restores
LiveVault InSync -- Enterprise-class Backup and Recovery Service for Small- and Mid-sized Businesses
Like remote offices, small- and mid-sized businesses face significant challenges when it comes to protecting data. Tape-based backup systems are too complex and unreliable, and disk-based systems alone do nothing to archive or physically protect the data by getting it offsite where it is safe from harm.
LiveVault InSync solves these problems by introducing the first end-to-end data protection system that combines all the speed and ease-of-use of disk- based backup with the critical advantage of automatically moving data offsite via a secure network connection. Available as a subscription service, InSync builds on LiveVault's decade-long history and unique, patented approach to providing continuous, completely automated, 100% reliable data protection.
LiveVault InSync includes an optional disk-based backup appliance, LiveVault TurboRestore, which enables companies to quickly recover large amounts of data and meet the most stringent Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) in the industry. LiveVault TurboRestore seamlessly integrates with the LiveVault InSync service. Data is automatically backed up to a local LiveVault TurboRestore appliance and then sent over the network to a secure, remote LiveVault Data Storage Vault. In doing so, LiveVault InSync makes data available for instant local recovery via LiveVault TurboRestore, or in the case of a site disaster, from the remote data vault. In either case, data is guaranteed to be recoverable, usually within minutes.
Key features of LiveVault InSync include:
-- Fully automated service -- eliminates the risk of human error
-- Disk-based backup and recovery -- removes the failure and burden associated with tape
-- Integrated backup, offsite storage, archiving and recovery -- for complete data protection
-- Automatic offsite storage via the Internet -- enables 100% guaranteed recovery of data
-- Onsite LiveVault TurboRestore appliance (optional) -- for local rapid recovery of data
-- Continuous data protection (CDP) -- transmits only the bytes that change as they change
"We wanted a disk-based data protection solution because tape has proven so cumbersome and unreliable. But it turns out disk only solves a third of the problem," said Al Zaccario, director of hotel technology at New Castle Hotels & Resorts. "We still had to get our data offsite and we still had to archive our data. LiveVault gave us everything: a reliable disk-based backup solution combined with automatic offsite protection, archiving and guaranteed recovery."
