Datto Launches Aurora, Backup and DR Solution

Datto, Inc. introduces Aurora, an innovation in backup and recovery technology. With instant virtual failover abilities on the local appliance and advanced features like data deduplication and simple granular exchange recovery, Aurora redefines business continuity.

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) need an all inclusive backup solution to keep their businesses running. They rely on managed service providers (MSPs) to deliver an effective on and off-site solution. MSPs in turn need a comprehensive backup and recovery solution for their clients that is reliable, affordable, and quickly implementable. Aurora was designed with both SMBs and MSPs in mind. SMBs will appreciate the accessibility and flexibility Aurora provides, as protected files now have greater functionality than ever before. With Aurora, businesses have quick and easy access to data with features such as individual message search and recovery for Microsoft Exchange and granular SharePoint recovery. Incremental backups as frequently as every five minutes ensure that when a data loss occurs, high transaction servers lose very little, if any, data. The instant, one-click virtualization feature can have failed servers and workstations back online quickly and easily, eliminating costly downtime.

Aurora enables MSPs to bring an enterprise class solution to the SMB market. Powerful features that were once sought in separate software and hardware purchases are now implemented in one, easy to use solution. Fully automated on and off-site backup and hardware independent, bare metal restore functionality means that backup and recovery with the Aurora is fast and simple. With additional features such as unattended virtualization and advanced alerting, MSPs can easily support Aurora. When combined with Datto’s 100% US-based technical support, MSPs always have the help they need to keep their clients’ business running.

"We wanted a comprehensive solution," said Datto president, Austin McChord. "Aurora was developed so that our Partners could offer a product that has cutting edge technology, but is still extremely manageable and always reliable."

Katie Braband, VP of Business Development for Datto, agrees: "Backup and disaster recovery is a key component to our Partners’ managed services offering and we’re excited to bring them this ground-breaking technology. Datto Aurora is the first and only end-to-end solution offering advanced features like instant virtualization and data deduplication in a cost-effective package for SMBs. It aligns perfectly with Datto’s mission to deliver our Partners the best in business continuity."
