RestorePoint Deploys DR Services Powered by Asigra

Asigra
Inc. announced that RestorePoint, Inc.
is delivering data restoration and DR services to the commercial real estate
market based on Asigra Cloud Backup software.

Focused not only on backup but on the recovery of data, RestorePoint leverages
expert managed support and technology to guarantee its customers high level of data recovery success.

The amount of data stored and retained continues to increase, especially when
organizations such as publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
have regulatory requirements to comply with.

These companies struggle to complete
daily backup routines within required time frames and need solutions capable of
meeting backup windows. Additionally, real estate companies have become more
reliant on technology necessitating greater data availability and more reliable
recovery. These organizations also have a big concern about meeting compliance
requirements related to data security and integrity.

RestorePoint addresses restrictive backup
windows by utilizing block-level Incremental Forever technology that only
requires one full backup. All future backups are merely updates of new and
changed data which reduces throughput and time requirements.

RestorePoint not only backups data, but
also helps its customers test their recovery processes. The less a recovery
process is tested the more risk of loss the company is exposed to. Finally,
because RestorePoint is powered by Asigra, the solution provides government
approved NIST FIPS 140-2 certification that assures backup data is encrypted at level of security and compliance.

"Working
with RestorePoint and Asigra technology gives me confidence in my data protection
plan," said Ivan De Moya, IT director of Equity One, Inc. "I know that if I ever need to restore, it
will take a few minutes rather than several hours. It’s about the recovery not
the backup and I know that Asigra and RestorePoint will keep my data safe."

RestorePoint provides customers with two solutions:

• Virtual Vault in a Box (V-VIAB): A cloud backup offering that backups data
  from the customer data center to the RestorePoint data vault which is then
  replicated to a failover data center.
• Vault in a Box (VIAB): VIAB is a hybrid cloud offering that allows
  organizations to back up to a data vault located in the customer data center at
  LAN speeds.

The local backup data is then incrementally replicated to a second data center
offsite.

"We ran a comparison between Asigra
and the solution we were using and found that Asigra better met our needs,"
said Nick Sistos, IT director at Macklowe Properties. "The Asigra backup ran much faster, and the
data was all encrypted, which was good, because I was nervous about the
security level provided by the old solution."

"There are many applications that
are common among real estate companies. We understand these applications and
the technologies they use which help us provide the most comprehensive data
protection solution possible for these organizations," said Jeff
Brathall, EVP of business services at RestorePoint. "We are proud to partner with Asigra for the delivery of these high
service levels and our ten year track record in both North America and abroad
is a testament to our success."

"Data is fundamental to any business
and therefore must be recoverable in the event of system downtime to maintain
viability of the business," said David Smith, VP of partner sales at
Asigra. "RestorePoint relays that point
loud and clear and the commercial real estate market is taking note. As we have
seen in so many natural and man-made disasters, the ability to recover critical
data when required is essential and we are proud to team with RestorePoint in
that mission."
