Asigra, the Clear Leader in Private and Public Cloud Backup 

Traditional approaches to backup are not designed to protect data in remote office locations. Companies with remote offices are tasked with protecting data without IT resources at the remote location, while managing bandwidth costs and meeting shrinking backup windows.

Networking alone typically accounts for 30 percent or more of the total IT expenditures of an enterprise. For some companies, the recurring cost of WAN bandwidth is a show stopper in protecting data at remote sites – some choose not to implement a remote backup and recovery solution because of it.

Asigra Cloud Backup architecture is WAN-Optimized and built around copying data from remote locations to a centralized data repository by leveraging a Public and/or Private Cloud.
 

3 Reasons Why Agentless is Better

1. Agentless architecture saves you time. Dealing with backup software agents is a cumbersome and mundane task that can be extremely time consuming. Matching agent revisions with operating system levels, researching compatibility issues, and other labor-intensive tasks are nonexistent when using the Asigra solution.
2. Agentless architecture is easier to support. Additionally, many problems that occur while managing backup software are due to agent bugs and their incompatibility with host servers. Asigra is inherently easier to support and the risk of problems is reduced as compared to other solutions because of its agentless design.
3. Agentless architecture is less resource-intensive. Traditional backup and recovery software puts agents onto servers, causing processing power to be stolen away from a server’s core application to feed the needs of agents. Asigra makes no such demands of the servers it is backing up.

Security and Compliance

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is a federal technology agency that develops and promotes measurement, standards, and technology.

Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUBS) are issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

FIPS 140-2 is the most current security requirement for cryptographic modules, or encryption. Asigra is the only agentless cloud backup vendor to have received certification that its encryption meets these strict standards.
 

Asigra Cloud Backup with Built in Deduplication 
 

• De-duplication techniques
• Backup and transmission of only new/changed data (incremental forever)

• Compression technique

Asigra Cloud Backup identifies common data by looking for the same data queued for backup more than once. All data is compared based on its content, so it does not matter if the files are on different servers or have different names. Common data is stored to the appropriate repository and a pointer /stub is used to point from the data’s original location to the library location. This is a continuous process, as common data can appear at any time.
