Introduction

EVault® SaaS provides secure, reliable, efficient protection of your organisation’s critical data, directly through the Internet, so you can safeguard your data without additional capital or IT expenses. It automatically backs up desktop, laptop and server data from across your organisation. You configure your desired retention schedule and monitor your backups via a web browser.

Your data is de-duplicated, compressed, encrypted, and then transmitted to one of our top-tier datacenters. With EVault SaaS, you know that your data is protected by industry experts, according to the highest standards of security and reliability. And it’s all at your fingertips whenever you need it.

EVault SaaS centralises the backup and recovery of data on all computers distributed throughout your organisation—headquarters, remote and branch office (ROBO) locations, and even laptops. Agents automatically back up your data over the Internet to a highly secure datacenter. You monitor and manage everything within a web browser. Recovery is just as easy: when you need to restore data, simply navigate to the recovery point via an intuitive interface, then click. EVault Reports provide details about the status of your backups.

Service Definition

EVault SaaS

EVault SaaS is a professional-grade cloud backup and recovery service that is secure, reliable, and efficient. When you purchase this cloud service, you get a data protection expert with you every step of the way:

 A fulfilment engineer guides your installation and training session, covering agent setup, backup planning, backup job configuration, and backup monitoring. You have the option to use a physical device for initial seeding.

 The EVault vault administration team fully manages and seamlessly scales the back-end hardware, storage, and infrastructure in the Cloud.

 The software agent automatically runs backups according to the configured schedules. You monitor backup status through EVault CentralControl.

 EVault Support is available 24x7x365 for emergencies

How It Works

The EVault technology platform is a pure disk-to-disk architecture. EVault SaaS has three key modules that make it easy to deploy and manage.

CentralControl: Enables you to centrally manage all backups from a web browser. Create and schedule backups, manage retention schedules, initiate restores, and more.

Agents: Installed on every protected system, EVault agents execute backup and recovery processes per the schedule configured in the CentralControl. Back up one or more files or folders, or the full system.

Vault: Stores, monitors and manages the backed-up data. Authenticates the agent and accepts data from it. Automatically ages data according to your retention strategy. Performs back-end deduplication to further reduce the storage footprint

(6)

Delta Backups and Other WAN Optimisation Technologies

After you perform your first full backup, EVault will find and transmit only data blocks that are new or changed since the last backup. To go even further, EVault also employs adaptive compression and bandwidth throttling. The result: minimal bandwidth usage, small backup windows, reduced storage footprint (50:1 storage savings over traditional file-based backup), and simple single-pass restores.

Quick File Scan: Patented process identifies new or changed blocks by rapidly scanning files on every protected system or server.

Adaptive Compression: Reduces size of transmitted data blocks by 50–90 percent.

EVault selects the best compression algorithm based on available CPU and network bandwidth.

Dynamic Bandwidth Throttling:Customers control the amount of network bandwidth available for backup jobs; especially useful for frequent backups of critical data, or in limited-bandwidth environments.

Enhanced CPU Utilisation: Automatically splits backup jobs across multiple CPUs, freeing source-system processing power for other tasks.

Self Healing: Automatically recreates the delta index file if it is corrupted or missing. This way, delta block-level processing continues to function and identify only new or changed blocks.

End-to-End Encryption

EVault encryption protects backup data inside the firewall, as it travels over the wire, and when it’s in storage. There are no “back door” decryption keys; only the key holder can enter the correct code.

Front-End Encryption:Data is encrypted using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 128-bit or 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) prior to leaving the backup server.

Over the Wire Encryption: The backup and restore activity is encrypted. This “over the wire” encryption ensures backup data transmitted between the client and the electronic vault is secure, even over the Internet.

(7)

Single-Pass Restores

EVault’s ability to build virtual “synthetic full” backups dynamically ensures data is always available for instant recovery with a simple point-and-click, one-step restore process. EVault continually checks the integrity of backup data sets. End users can even restore their own data using the EVault CentralControl.

World-Class Customer Support and Service

We are available when you need us, providing you with 24x7 support for mission-critical issues. You can reach us through phone, email, live chat, and our Customer Service Portal. Our support is top-notch quarterly surveys consistently show better than 98 percent customer satisfaction.

EVault Implementation Services ensure you effectively deploy your solution. Our engineers train you on EVault SaaS, and implement a solution to meet your business needs. The streamlined implementation process gets you up and running quickly and easily so you can begin reaping the benefits of EVault SaaS.

The training and installation can be broken into three phases: Agent Setup

 Access to the latest agent software on the Customer Service Portal

 Agent management through EVault CentralControl Backup Job Configuration

 Data protection planning and job creation

 Job scheduling

 Retention management

 Encryption configuration

 Recovery training Backup Monitoring

 Configuration of proactive notifications

 Monitoring backup job status

Options

EVault SaaS Companion Services and Products

EVault SaaS customers can access a collection of optional products and services that accelerate service deployment and recovery for those systems you care most about.

EVault Premium Data Transfer Service

EVault Premium Data Transfer Service helps you transfer data to and from your DR facility. This service involves rented storage appliances shipped to your site, enabling you to seed or recover data more quickly than is possible using the Internet. EVault Vault administrators walk you through tasks, making seeds and recoveries painless and easy.

How It Works

The Initial Backup (or Seed)

 When you start your service with EVault, we send you an appliance.

 Once it arrives, our Customer Service department walks you through setup of backup tasks, which you save to the appliance.

 When the tasks are completed, you ship the appliance to your DR facility.

 Finally, you transfer the backup data to your secondary vault and begin delta backups. Restores

 You contact EVault Customer Service.

 Our Vault Administrators help you export the data you need from the secondary vault to a mobile storage appliance.

 We send it to your office. We offer a Disaster Recovery Service (we ship you the appliance in 1-2 business days) or a Non-Critical Recovery Service (you determine the schedule).

 Once you receive it, you connect the appliance and restore data to your systems.

 When you are done, you simply return the device to us.

EVault Express Recovery Appliance

EVault Express Recovery Appliance is a pre-configured storage appliance that you can install as a local vault in remote and branch offices. It includes all the hardware and software you need to get onsite protection, plus remote access software so that our support team can manage the appliance remotely. The appliance automatically replicates local backups to the EVault Cloud. This add-on solution provides you LAN-speed backups and restores in addition to offsite disaster recovery protection. It’s pre-configured and administered by EVault Vault Administrators, so you enjoy the benefits of an onsite vault without needing to manage software or hardware.

How It Works

Agents on protected systems run backup jobs and save backup data to the Express Recovery Appliance located in your office. Backup data on the appliance is then replicated to the EVault Cloud.

(9)

EVault System Restore

EVault System Restore is a bare metal restore (BMR) solution used to quickly recover an unusable system after catastrophic failure. In just minutes, you initiate recovery of a system onto similar hardware, dissimilar hardware, or a virtual machine. EVault System Restore integrates seamlessly with EVault and can restore both system and data in a single pass. You get a unified solution that eliminates the need for multiple backups and dramatically reduces downtime.

How It Works

You protect a system with EVault and set the backup to include the System Volume. After a system failure, you use EVault System Restore to quickly and easily recover data and operating system in a single pass. You can restore to any hardware or virtual system.

EVault Cloud Disaster Recovery Service

EVault Cloud Disaster Recovery Service is a cloud-based managed service to help you quickly recover your organisation's critical systems after a disaster, and gain remote access via a secure, virtual environment in the EVault cloud. This service extends EVault’s portfolio of backup and recovery offerings, creating an SLA-backed solution with the option to choose 4-, 24-, and 48-hour RTOs.

When disaster strikes, EVault Cloud Disaster Recovery Service uses a rock-solid technology platform to quickly recovery your systems into a virtualised environment hosted in EVault’s state-of-the-art datacenters. Our network of disaster recovery experts is there to manage the entire DR program – from set up, testing and documentation to helping pass audits to being on call 24x7x365 when something really goes wrong.

How It Works

EVault Cloud Disaster Recovery Service saves your backup data to the EVault Cloud. Our DR experts work with you up-front to run a thorough DR test and provide you with a comprehensive DR plan so you know what to expect before disaster strikes. If you have a complete site disaster, you contact EVault and declare a disaster. Our on-call DR team quickly recovers your systems and data from your backups held in the EVault Cloud. Then we provide you with access to your systems from a secure virtual environment. You use our environment until you get your site up and running again.

EVault Endpoint Protection

Integrated laptop backup, recovery, and data security solution controls data across mobile workforces and extends EVault data protection from your servers all the way to your desktops and laptops. Cloud connected for automatic backup to the EVault cloud, EVault Endpoint Protection makes PC backup and recovery both easy for the user and safe for the company.

How It Works

The solution places an agent on the laptop or desktop. Users can then configure the frequency of backups and perform their own restores without having to call the Help Desk.

(11)

All data is backed up to a local cache so that operations continue regardless of whether the user is online or disconnected.

When connected, backup data is automatically transferred offsite using WAN-optimised data transfer: bandwidth throttled, data compressed, encrypted, and globally deduplicated before going offsite. Global deduplication is especially important in a laptop environment as many shared files get downloaded from corporate servers before an employee travels (e.g. the Corporate Sales presentation).

The data is stored in the EVault Cloud hosted on the Azure infrastructure and managed by EVault’s network of data protection experts. The data centres are highly resilient SSAE-16 compliant and ISO certified. The North American data centre: Chicago; EMEA data centre: Dublin, Ireland.

All systems are centrally managed through the web-based Administration Console. The console uses policies to establish rules around things like bandwidth throttling, security parameters and deduplication.

Pricing

EVault SaaS is our premier online backup and recovery service for mid-sized businesses and enterprises with remote and branch offices. The solution provides industry best practice data retentions: One backup a day for 30 days plus one backup a month for 11 months. The tiered storage model delivers a fixed range of storage capacity for a flat, predictable monthly fee based on the amount of data protected (native footprint). Once first TB is reached, add on additional storage in .5 TB or 1 TB increments. Select price per TB tier based on total capacity including 1 TB base.

Example

Customer has 5 TB of data to protect including expected growth for the year.

Order 012-110-170 for up to 1 TB and quantity of 4 of 012-110-173 for a total of 5 TB. SaaS Custom is for customers needing custom retentions. This is a pay-per-use model and is based on the compressed storage on the vault.

6.3 Service levels

EVault shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve support issues within targeted timeframes.

Severity Level Definitions

1 (Critical)

“Severity 1 Issue” describes an error in the Software operating in a live, production environment, where such error has caused the use of the Software or a significant component thereof to stop or has caused the system to crash or hang, such that Customer cannot reasonably continue to use the Software for its intended business purpose and there is no immediate work around or resolution available to make the Software operable.

2 (High or Severe)

“Severity 2 Issue” describes an error in the Software operating in a live, production environment or, during efforts to deploy the Software in a live, production environment, where such error does not cause the use of the Software or a significant component thereof to cease, but the error is causing a serious business impact on the Customer’s productivity or service levels. An error in the Software operating in a non-live or non-production environment, which causes the Software or a significant component thereof to stop or to substantially deviate from the specifications set forth in the Documentation, may likewise, at EVault’s sole discretion, be considered a Severity 2 Issue.

3 (Medium)

“Severity 3 Issue” describes a condition under which the Software operates in full working mode during any stage of deployment or use, but the issue may cause immediate impacts to operations or usability, which are desirable to resolve. General questions regarding Software installation and/or use are usually considered to be Severity 3 Issues.

4 (Low)

“Severity 4 Issue” describes an issue relating to Customer convenience or aesthetical aspects of the Software.

Termination terms

9.1 By Consumers

We may contract to an early termination for convenience provision if required. Such provision shall not be enforceable by the Customer in the first 18 months following service commencement. 6 months’ notice for early termination is required and this will be subject to a fee.

The fees associated with such termination rights shall include:

 Computacenter’s sunk costs (equipment, financing, maintenance contracts, tools, etc)

 Computacenter’s lost profits expected to the end of the term

 Exit management fees as described in the contract with the customer

If the contract expires or terminates prior to the end of the Minimum Term for either the Base Capacity or any Upgrade Capacity, then either:

 Any remaining committed usage (i.e. any remaining Minimum Monthly Usage over the remaining Minimum Term) will be charged to the customer; or

 A contract extension will need to be agreed to enable the customer to carry out further usage to cover any remaining committed usage.

9.2 By the Supplier

We do not expect to have a termination for convenience right for a service of this nature. We expect to have termination rights for contract breach by the customer. In this case, we expect to receive the balance of fees for the remaining term of the contract.

Data restoration / service migration

10.1 Data restoration

Even in the best-protected environments, you may experience a catastrophic system failure. EVault® System Restore reduces that to a minor inconvenience with state-of-the-art bare metal restore (BMR) technology.

EVault System Restore can quickly recover an unusable system after catastrophic failure. In just minutes, you initiate recovery of a system onto similar hardware, dissimilar hard-ware, or a virtual machine. It integrates seamlessly with EVault data protection solutions, and can restore both systems and data in a single pass. You get a unified solution that eliminates the need for multiple backups and dramatically reduces downtime.

Without EVault System Restore, if a system fails, complete recovery can take hours, or even days. An IT administrator must go through the process of procuring and configuring new hardware, installing and updating the operating system, and recovering data so that operations can resume. This process requires accurate documentation of system parameters, and relies heavily on the skill level of the available IT personnel. EVault System Restore eliminates much of the legwork, and enables a quick and painless recovery.

How It Works

If you use EVault Software, EVault SaaS or EVault Real-Time Protection to protect your data, you can now configure your backup jobs to include the operating system. In the event of a system failure, simply boot EVault System Restore from a CD, USB drive, or network, and a wizard will guide you through a fast and efficient recovery of both your operating system and your data. There’s no need to reinstall the operating system, apply patches, reinstall drivers or applications, or configure a separate restore to recover your data.

 Protect system with one of EVault’s data protection solutions.

 Set backup jobs to include system volume.

 After system failure, use EVault System Restore to quickly and easily recover data and operating system in a single pass.

 Restore to any hardware/virtual system.

10.2 Service migration

We can provide project services to migrate existing development environments onto the BaaS as an additional chargeable option.

Consumer responsibilities

The Consumer is responsible for scheduling and performing backups and restores:

The Subscriber will perform regular backups via the Client Software provided by Service Provider, and will report any errors in executing such backups promptly by fax or e-mail to Service Provider. The Subscriber will ensure the communication services used to connect to Service Provider site are error free and reliable.

We offer an extension to the basic service where we will take on the management and monitoring of the solution – if this service is required please contact your account manager for further details.
