At the show, Eran Farajun has presented on this appliance in a recorded podcast hosted by George Crump, founder and principal analyst, Storage Switzerland. In the podcast, titled Bringing an OpEx Model to the Data Protection Service Provider, Farajun discuss the importance of having cybersecurity-enabled backup and the advantages of subscription-based backup infrastructure to better control data protection costs.

The Asigra/Zadara backup appliance facilitates cloud-forward organizations using a combination of industry-standard hardware, Asigra Cloud Backup software and Zadara’s enterprise storage-as-a-service. The result is a virtualized backup storage repository with both enterprise functionality and cloud convenience.

“The highly available OpEX backup appliance delivers superior scalability, flexibility, data integrity, and a compelling TCO,” said Farajun, EVP, Asigra. “We look forward to introducing this advanced platform to the cloud/virtualization experts at VMworld as it will change the way enterprises think about backup.“
