ROBOBAK With Source-Based Dedup and Encryption

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a small or mid-sized business, a growing enterprise, or a service provider; the need for online backup that is efficient starts at the source. Despite IT’s best efforts, end-users keep copies of copies, and send those copies to everyone in the company. The same PowerPoint, e-mail, Word document, PDF, or picture. Your data growth is getting out of hand, and most of that data is identical at the block level. 

A recent IDC white paper refers to the ”promise of de-duplication,’ saying, “The reality is that a significant proportion of most companies’ data is highly redundant. The same or similar files are being stored over and over again, and then repeatedly copied into the backup and archive storage. Significant savings could be possible if the redundancy could be reduced or eliminated.”

Today, most commercially available solutions move the data to a central store before performing the de-dupe function, slowing the network and lengthening the overall time to complete a backup. By contrast, ROBOBAK’s Version 8 data protection software suite de-duplicates the data at the source, before a single block is transferred offsite. ROBOBAK focuses on the issues associated with data at unlimited remote or branch offices, regardless of where they are located, providing companies with the tools they need to ensure that corporate-critical information is quickly and reliably backed up, and will be there when needed the most.
 
ROBOBAK also compresses and encrypts data at the source prior to online backup, giving companies the ability to rapidly move very compact, small amounts of changed data, without needing to periodically remaster a copy of large files, a time-consuming effort.

“We see companies that effectively waste hours of time and multiple gigabytes of available storage space backing up duplicate copies of data,” said Ron Roberts, ROBOBAK’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Combining these multiple functions at the source reduces the time and cost of ensuring that data is fully protected in a way that allows them to store far more information in less space than they thought possible.”

ROBOBAK is also designed to a full range of ‘ease of use’ functions, such as ‘lights-out,’ automatic backups that make it possible maintain the largest amount of data with an absolute minimum of resources, and agentless backup and recovery. From backup and recovery to encryption and archiving, ROBOBAK is designed to provide superior performance at a fraction of the cost of competing products.

ROBOBAK is available in the Standard and Enterprise editions, with prices beginning at $1,000.
