AppAssure Backup,
Recovery and
Replication Software
When one of your customer’s application servers goes down, you need it up and running fast. With
AppAssure backup, recovery and replication software, you can recover data from any server failure to physical or virtual machines (VMs) in minutes, back up and recover either locally or offsite, and provide offsite disaster recovery (DR) to customers with low bandwidth through integrated deduplication and replication. With AppAssure, you’ll be able to help:
• Safeguard your customers’ data across physical, virtual, application and cloud environments
• Ensure continuous, integrated data protection for the applications your customers rely on
• Protect and preserve data with globally enforced granular controls over the entire back operations
• Achieve backup and recovery SLAs and reduce your customers’ total cost of ownership (TCO) for data protection
How can AppAssure
benefit your
organization?
• Ensure business continuity: AppAssure protects both data and applications, putting your customers back online in seconds and limiting data loss with hundreds of recovery points a day. • Lower TCO: AppAssure combines all
backup needs under one product. • Simplify administration: A single,
unified interface for all machines means you only have to master one backup scheme.
• Optimize storage use: AppAssure lowers costs through integrated deduplication and compression.
AppAssure is advanced data protection that unifies backup, replication and recovery in one easy-to-use software solution. Go further than simply protecting the data that makes up your customers’ digital world on virtual, physical and cloud environments with AppAssure’s ability to provide near-continuous access to data after an incident, keeping your customers’ business productive. Plus, you’ll have complete confidence that backed up data will be restorable with AppAssure’s ability to test file systems, as well as Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server application consistency. And once data has been backed up, your customers will have the flexible restore capabilities that will match the needs of their business. For ultimate assurance, take advantage of AppAssure’s built-in ability to continually send updates to a VM that can be activated in case
Protect workloads on VMs, physical servers and in the cloud
Use a single application for fast, reliable backup, replication and restores of your customers’ critical data. Up to 288 block-level snapshots a day provide recovery point objectives (RPOs) of up to five minutes and near-instant recovery time objectives (RTOs) to ensure your customers always have access to business-critical systems.
Restore operations almost instantly with an RTO of minutes
With AppAssure’s Live Recovery capability, your customers can have near-continuous access to their protected data. They can resume the use of an impacted server directly from the backup file without waiting for the production server to have a complete restore.

Give your customers certainty that the data they’re backing up is recoverable with AppAssure’s Verified Recovery capability. AppAssure performs automated nightly mount checks of file systems, Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server instances. If a problem is found with corrupt data or application data that will prevent these from being mounted, AppAssure will send out alerts, providing time to correct issues before restoring the data after an incident.
Restore a single file,
message or data object
to a complete machine
Restore data at any level, from a single file, message or data object, to a complete machine (physical or virtual), even to dissimilar
hardware with AppAssure’s Universal Recovery capability. The data
can be restored to any supported system: physical, virtual or cloud environments, enabling local, offsite or disaster recovery.
Recover from disasters
by creating virtual
standby VMs
Continually send updates to a VM that can be activated in case there’s an issue with the primary machine using AppAssure’s Virtual Standby feature. When the primary machine is restored, users are able to fail back with all the changes that were sent to the standby VM.
Flexible deployment
options

needed to protect production data by using a backup-to-disk appliance as the repository for protected data. The Dell DR Series appliances ensure data recovery and integrity, and overcome your customers’ toughest backup and disaster recovery challenges. They provide faster backup and restore times, and reduce the amount of storage necessary to protect ever-growing data sets.
By using built-in, block-based deduplication and compression in conjunction with DR Rapid technology, the DR4100 and the DR6000 help you:
• Reduce the storage footprint for backups
• Enable backup data to remain on disk and online longer
• Remove the need to use tapes for backup
• Minimize the amount of data sent over networks to disaster recovery sites • Use the backup software of your

The DR Series systems are extremely efficient, high-performance
disk-based backup and recovery appliances available in both physical and virtual configurations. The DR Series appliances are simple to deploy and manage, and offer unsurpassed TCO benefits.
Innovative system software and an all-inclusive licensing model provide optimal functionality and help eliminate the hidden costs of future feature upgrades. The DR Series appliances have a simple installation process with intuitive remote setup and management capabilities. In addition, they are available in a range of usable capacity points, making them ideal for small enterprise, remote office environments and larger enterprise settings.
Through the use of innovative Dell deduplication and compression technology, the DR Series systems can help achieve data reduction levels up to 15:1. This reduction in data means that more backup data can be retained longer and within the same footprint. As disk backup target repositories, the DR Series systems are specifically engineered to handle high-throughput streaming backup workloads, with all deduplication and compression operations being performed in-line. This approach minimizes the impact on backup and recovery performance.
Use your favorite backup software to back up your servers. The DR appliance will dedupe and com-press your data, maximizing your storage efficiency. Replicate your data to the cloud or offsite for extra protection against data loss.
Dell DR2000v Backup
Disk Virtual Appliance
For cost-effective data protection for client sites, remote or branch offices, the DR2000v is an attractive choice since no additional hardware investments are necessary. This pure software solution delivers all the same benefits of a physical DR appliance, including deduplication, compression, replication and advanced data protection.
Avoid the logistic and cost obstacles of deploying a physical backup to disk appliance with the DR2000v, an economical alternative for protecting data at remote or branch offices. An expansion of the Dell DR Series, the DR2000v is a disaster recovery backup virtual appliance running inside a VM on a VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V server.
This pure software solution delivers all the same benefits of a physical DR appliance, including deduplication, compression, replication and
advanced data protection. To store the backed-up data, the DR2000v uses storage disks resident in the hypervisor server it’s loaded on and requires a peer DR4000, DR4100 or DR6000 appliance to be activated. The DR2000v licenses (orderable in packs of one or 10 licenses) are available in capacity points of 1, 2 or 4TB (with a maximum of eight containers), so data protection and disaster recovery can now be expanded to remote or branch office locations.
Use the DR2000v virtual appliance to dedupe your backup data and replicate it offisite to a physical DR appliance for safekeeping.
