Asigra to Demo Next Gen Cloud Backup and Recovery

Asigra, Inc. is joining two cloud service providers at the 2011 Storage Networking World conference in Orlando to showcase next generation cloud backup.

Highlights at this year’s event will include live demonstrations of mobile device backup and user-selected granular recovery in the SNIA Hands-On Lab. Case studies on cloud-based Virtual Disaster Recovery (VDR) will be featured at Asigra’s booth in the SNIA Cloud Pavilion.

At this year’s SNIA Hands-on-Lab at SNW, IT professionals will perform cloud backup by remotely accessing production data on servers residing in Toronto, Canada using their laptops at SNW in Orlando. The production data will be backed up to the Yotta280 storage cloud located in Jacksonville, FL. Lab participants will then delete information to simulate a loss event and perform user-selected granular recovery from the storage vault in Jacksonville back to the primary servers in Toronto to demonstrate performance recovery across geographies. The demonstration will showcase the simplicity, flexibility and speed of Asigra’s cloud backup and recovery solution.

The Asigra Hands-On Lab will provide attendees with one-on-one contact with cloud backup experts as end users are guided through a series of exercises organized around various data protection procedures. The Asigra Cloud Backup demonstration will give users a chance to ‘test drive’ the latest capabilities in a supportive environment. The classes take place for two hours at regular intervals throughout the conference and are limited to 16-20 seats to give attendees a learning experience. Open to all end-user attendees at SNW, the lab provides hands-on experience with cloud backup to raise awareness of its advantages in business environments.

At the SNIA Cloud Pavilion, Data Storage Corporation will join with Asigra to present on the advantages of cloud-based Virtual Disaster Recovery Powered by Asigra. With Asigra cloud-based VDR, data recovery is performed without the need to reinstall software applications, patches or services packs to any computing platform. The solution’s ability to restore physical servers to any virtual environment (P2V) preserves the granularity of restoring individual files required for recovery. With this capability, Asigra provides a means to recreate a company’s physical environment within the realm of a virtual environment for business continuity.
 
"National and global service providers have teamed with Asigra to deliver enterprise-class data protection that covers any size organization’s digital footprint, from the remote worker to the data center," said Kent McIntosh, Senior Director of Product Marketing and Strategic Market Development for Asigra. "Asigra’s Hands-On Lab at SNW allows participants to experience the technology first hand and will showcase the security, efficiency and simplicity demanded by IT professionals."
