Reduxio V3 Unified Primary and Secondary Storage Platform

With built-in DR and copy data management capabilities

Reduxio Systems, Inc. announced the availability of Reduxio V3, that delivers effective storage solutions for the most demanding enterprise infrastructures and applications.

V3 represents a move toward a high available, self-healing and self-recovering system designed to deliver near-zero RPO and RTO, while simplifying the data protection process and providing built-in data replication for DR.

The latest generation of the company’s solution comes at a time when, according to IDC research, nearly two-thirds of organizations are not fully confident that they could recover their data in the event of a significant disaster. At the same time, IDC research has also found that the most common target for RPO is one hour, and the most common target for RTO is four hours [1]. Clearly, backup and recovery software alone cannot meet this service level requirement. To meet the business-driven service level requirements of today’s global enterprises, IT organizations have found that no product or technology can deliver data protection to meet the data recovery and availability needs of the business.

The founding vision of Reduxio was based on a simple principle- redefine storage management and protection by taking advantage of new processing, networking and media technologies,” said Mark Weiner, founder and CEO, Reduxio. “Over the years, our customers made it painfully clear to us how unnecessarily complex and redundant legacy solutions are. Version 3.0 continues to address our customer’s evolving needs with a software-defined approach, providing a unified storage, management and protection platform. We are excited about the early customer reaction to Reduxio V3and helping them to solve their most demanding storage challenges.

V3 expands its flash-based architecture, controlled by the patented TimeOS OS, and its ability to instantly recover data from any second in time by unifying previously separate capabilities with built-in DR and copy data management. Company’s newly-introduced storage services enable enterprises to address the performance vs. capacity tradeoff, as well as solve other data management challenges, such as building advanced data protection directly into storage.

V3 features and capabilities include:

  • New V3

      • NoRestore provides near-zero RPO/RTO data protection with instant restore ability for systems with >100TB

      • NoMigrate delivers instant data migration and data mobility technology built directly into TimeOS

  • Updated in V3

      • Backdating makes snapshots obsolete with one-second recovery intervals that are consistent across all hosts and volumes

      • NoDup stores 7X more data with in-line, in-memory global deduplication and compression with storage efficiency and density

      • Tier-X offers continuous autonomous multi-level tiering, integrating flash and disk in a single storage pool

      • StorSense is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) support infrastructure for collecting and processing data reported from Reduxio systems

The V3 user interface uses HTML-5 that enables drag-and drop widgets to create a customized dashboard. Users can utilize a global search feature, point-in-time restore, and set policies from the dashboard. The interface also provides instant restore of VM images, making it suited to VDI implementations.

CPP has an increased need for Copy Data Management capabilities to drive our company’s analytics & business intelligence. However, these capabilities are traditionally separate from primary storage which could have forced us to purchase additional components and add more complexity to our infrastructure,” said Michael Johnson, director, global infrastructure and desktop support, CPP. “Reduxio V3 has solved this problem, and will become our de facto storage platform, integrating previously separate capabilities and making our data available instantly in different systems across our various global locations in the US and the UK.

Businesses increasingly demand 100% uptime with no data loss, or what IDC refers to as the ‘new race to zero’ – 0 RPO and 0 RTO,” said Phil Goodwin, research director, IDC. “Reduxio’s V3 system has many of the elements of a data management and protection environment built-in as part of its primary storage functionality. Reduxio’s systems are designed to support application workloads, yet due to the time stamp and NoRestore functionality, the solution is also designed to deliver an even lower RPO and RTO than typical snapshots, without the complexity of restoring multiple snapshots to complete some recoveries. It is also worth noting that the Reduxio system would generally eliminate the need for a separate purpose-built backup appliance, further reducing cost and complexity for many organizations.

Reduxio is a game-changer for our managed service practice. Our customers value their time as much as their data, and Reduxio provides a unified solution for architecting their storage environment,” said Seth Seagraves, president, Halski Systems LLC. “Reduxio V3 will now enable businesses to seamlessly access, secure, and replicate their data while reducing RPO/RTO from hours and days tos and minutes-all the while maintaining stringent budget requirements and world class customer service. We intend to lead the way in the managed services industry and our partnership with Reduxio is going to help us get there.
