Just like a pilot navigating a busy airspace. They have a complex flight plan to execute, ensuring each aircraft (server) stays on course and adheres to air traffic control (regulations) - all while maintaining a smooth, efficient journey (business operations) for your passengers (data).
But as a pilot encounters unexpected turbulence, a mechanical issue, or inclement weather, your IT infrastructure can be thrown into disarray by unforeseen events. These disruptions can lead to data loss, downtime, and lost productivity, all of which can have a significant financial impact on your business.
Traditional data protection solutions are complex and cumbersome, requiring multiple tools and processes for complete coverage. This complexity can lead to vulnerabilities and create a constant sense of unease - are your backups truly reliable? Can you recover quickly enough to minimize downtime?
Downtime is costly. Data loss is catastrophic. Arcserve's Shadow Protect offers the ultimate shield for your business, ensuring the fastest, most dependable recovery for your critical systems and data.
Shadow Protect might be the perfect tool to ensure uptime:
- Universal Protection: It eliminates the need for multiple backup solutions. It protects both Windows and Linux systems, whether physical or virtual, from a single platform. This simplifies your data protection strategy and minimizes management overhead.
- Flexible Storage Options: It adapts to your existing infrastructure. It supports nearly any type of disk-based storage, including Arcserve OneXafe storage appliances. This flexibility allows you to leverage your current storage resources while leaving room for future expansion.
- Minimal Downtime Backups: Running backups shouldn't disrupt your business. ShadowProtect facilitates continuous data protection, allowing backups to occur even while users are actively working. This ensures minimal data loss and excellent Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs).
- Disaster Recovery Flexibility: Beyond local backups, ShadowProtect offers remote replication capabilities. You can replicate your backups to remote servers, colocation facilities, cloud storage solutions (including the Arcserve Cloud), or your own private cloud. This redundancy ensures your data is safe even in the event of a catastrophic disaster at your primary location.
- Verified Backups: Confidence in your backups is crucial. ShadowProtect includes automated testing functionalities. You can run easy-to-execute tests on your backup images, providing peace of mind knowing your backups are reliable and ready for when disaster strikes.
- Bare Metal Recovery: Hardware failures happen. ShadowProtect allows you to migrate a physical or virtual system to a new machine without losing uptime. This hardware-agnostic bare metal recovery capability ensures your systems can be restored quickly and efficiently, regardless of underlying hardware differences.
