Asigra Cloud Backup™ V12 is no different, reaffirming our commitment to business and technology innovations that help businesses protect all the data in the enterprise through a single, powerful, secure software platform.
Here are five new ways Asigra Cloud Backup V12 will improve your managed services business:
§ Reclaim control of all customer data residing in enterprise cloud-based applications and platforms—Backup and restore data and applications residing in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) providers like Salesforce.com in the same way that you backup all other enterprise data.
§ Help customers forget bring-your-own-device (BYOD) worries—With enhanced endpoint device protection, you can help your customers achieve faster, more efficient backups of information that reside on any device that interacts with their corporate data, including smartphones and tablets.
§ Accelerate backup and recovery processes—Extend business continuity initiatives with local and remote failovers that virtually eliminate
recovery times for machine and site failures. Hardware-based approaches allow you to protect large and complex data sets efficiently.
§ Achieve superior monitoring and control of data protection
initiatives—A complimentary new module enables you to trigger, catalog and manage snapshots, while an upgraded DS-NOC provides a single pane of glass view of all data protection activities in an enterprise. § Support an even wider array of operating systems, databases and
enterprise applications—In addition to the already extensive list of software and platforms it supports, Asigra Cloud Backup V12 now also allows you to provide backup services for Microsoft Windows 8 and Microsoft SharePoint 2010, offering even more ways to integrate with customers’ IT infrastructure.
But these five advances just scratch the surface. Asigra Cloud Backup V12 comes with all the same security and recovery and restore assurance (R2A) features that are hallmarks of the Asigra platform. Now more than ever, Asigra Cloud Backup enables you to help your customers recover NOW from ANYWHERE in the enterprise.

Enhanced support for endpoint devices

Asigra Cloud Backup can also safeguard the data on a host of devices, from tablets and smartphones to laptops, desktops, workstations and servers across all the market leading operating platforms— Windows, Linux, Mac OS, iOS and Android.
Asigra Cloud Backup performs incremental-only backups of the data on all these devices and only sends compressed and deduplicated data to the backup repository, reducing the demands on bandwidth.

Failover protection and rapid
recoveries with Asigra Virtual Disaster
Recovery (VDR)
Ensure continued business operations for your
customers by providing them with local and remote
failovers when faced with machine failures or
complete site failures
Businesses can no longer afford to have their critical infrastructure down. Organizations need to ensure that in the event of a machine failure or a complete site failure, they are able to get back up and running as quickly as possible. Virtual machines that run critical infrastructure must be available at all times.
With Asigra’s Virtual Disaster Recovery (VDR) capabilities, you can make Asigra Cloud Backup the cornerstone of your business continuity and disaster recovery services:
§ Help your customers recover from either machine failures or complete site failures in a matter of minutes by turning on a backup copy of their virtual machines even as you work on recovering their primary site § Using the capabilities of Asigra Local DS-VDR, you
can keep backup copies of virtual machines on local environments to help rapidly recover from machine failures or virtual machine corruptions
§ Maintain multiple generations of virtual machines so you can switch back to an earlier point-in-time copy in a matter of minutes.
§ Keep warm spares of your customers’ critical physical machines in virtual machine form, protecting your customers against machine outages
§ Maintain warm spares of virtual machines at your remote offsite data center using the powerful capabilities of Asigra Remote DS-VDR
In the event of a complete site failure, you can ensure customers continue business operations by backing up their critical virtual machines to designated secure offsite data centers and restoring the machines to standby infrastructure. As you work on rebuilding the data and applications at the primary site, they can continue to operate from the live copy in your facility and maintain business continuity.
Quick and efficient backup of large
data sets with Asigra Snapshots
Leverage hardware APIs for rapid protection of big
data and databases
Ubiquitous connectivity, social software, big data and large databases have accelerated the rate of data growth in the enterprise. Today, rich data files such as photos, audio and video files are as much a part of corporate information assets as documents and PowerPoint
presentations. As the numbers of such files grow rapidly in the enterprise, service providers need quick and efficient solutions to protect such large data sets.

complete site failures

Keep warm spares of physical and virtual
machines that can be instantly turned on in
disaster situations

by integrating snapshots into your data
protection strategies
§
Quick and efficient backups using
Snapshot-based data protection
§
Manage snapshots through the
Asigra Cloud Backup includes a comprehensive snapshot capability that allows you to use efficient hardware-based approaches for protecting large data sets. Leveraging the snapshot APIs of NetApp™, you can obtain a point-in-time copy of the storage hardware. For homogeneous NetApp environments, Asigra Cloud Backup allows for rapid data protection by performing a hardware-based copy of the data from the primary NetApp storage to a secondary NetApp device at either the same or a geographically different location.
You can benefit from the complimentary Snapshot Manager interface for scheduling, cataloguing, and managing such snapshots. This functionality helps you integrate snapshots into your overall data protection strategies and provides you with a “single pane of glass” view of all your data protection activities, including snapshots.
Asigra Cloud Backup is storage hardware platform independent. If you or your customers do not have homogeneous storage environments, you can backup the data to a heterogeneous storage device. To restore the data to a previous point-in-time copy, you can restore the backup session and provide customers with access to their entire backup data as of that point in time.
Single pane of glass views for
enhanced monitoring and control
Additions to the comprehensive configuration,
management and reporting functionality in the
DS-NOC
In providing you with further control of your entire Asigra backup and recovery estate through a single, integrated, intuitive control interface, Asigra Cloud Backup V12 brings additional functionality to the DS-NOC, Asigra’s powerful web-based command and control center. The DS-NOC now comes with functionality to view, edit and update the configuration of DS-Clients. You can now view and update the scheduling, retention, backup set parameters and notification settings for DS-Clients using the web-based DS-NOC interface.
With V12, the DS-NOC also provides greater depth of information related to the archive packages in the Backup Lifecycle Manager (BLM) Archiver providing the DS-NOC user greater visibility and control of the data protected in BLM Archiver. The enhancements to the reporting capabilities provide service providers with greater insights into the status of the various backup-related jobs within their environment, helping them isolate, identify and address backup related events.
Greater API and XML support
Enabling superior integration and interoperability
Asigra has also been building on its APIs both for the DS-Client and the DS-NOC, providing you with the freedom to customize and integrate Asigra components into your environments.
