AppAssure Integrates Replay4 Local and Offsite Backup and DR Software

AppAssure Software, Inc., developer of the Replay4 backup and disaster recovery software, and Kaseya, provider of automated IT systems management software, announced the integration of AppAssure’s Replay4 software into the Kaseya IT management framework for the MSP community.

IT service providers will now be able to recover from any server failure to physical or virtual machines in minutes, backup and recover either locally or offsite, consume less storage space and bandwidth through deduplication, and provide users with continued access to servers immediately upon commencement of a live recovery, reducing downtime and minimizing data loss potential.

AppAssure will integrate its Replay4 software into the Kaseya systems and service management platform, enabling IT service providers to remotely push install agents on mission critical Windows application servers and workstations throughout the enterprise and monitor backup activity from the single management interface from Kaseya.

In addition, MSPs will benefit from:

• Deduplication and compression integrated with retention policies and replication
• Local and offsite backup and recovery through integrated replication
• Application recoverability testing of SQL and Exchange databases
• Virtualization enabled application disaster recovery in 5 minutes or less
• Instant access to recovery server upon restore commencement
• Granular restores of e-mails and other mail items, and individual files on Windows and SharePoint servers
• Centralized management console, designed for mid-tier environments

"We had specific criteria that we were looking for and until we found Replay, we were spending a lot of our time piecing together insufficient solutions," said Nick Bock, CEO at Five Nines Technology Group. Inc. "Replay lives up to what it says it does: image- based backup, flexible on-demand recoveries to wherever we need, ease of administrative verification and off site replication," added Bock. "Having Replay integration with the Kaseya systems and service management platform makes our lives even easier."

"Kaseya is committed to providing customers with the best business continuity solutions to optimize their delivery model, service model and overall SLAs," said Gerald Blackie, chairman and CEO of Kaseya. "AppAssure’s powerful server backup and disaster recovery solution enables us to dramatically increase our recovery capabilities and methods so that customers know that they can always recover the information they need, when and how they need it. Sometimes, what customers need is to just restore a single email message. AppAssure also enables us to offer granular application-specific recovery features with the speed and efficiency our customers have grown to expect. It’s something we’ve never had before and a compelling addition to our overall business continuity solution set."

"Ease of use and flexibility to backup and recover locally and offsite are two of the biggest factors contributing to Replay’s rapid adoption by the MSP community," said Najaf Husain, President and CEO, AppAssure Software. "Integrating Replay into the Kaseya service management platform provides a natural synergy to IT service providers looking to increase service levels to their customers with less effort than traditional backup and recovery solutions require."
