Asigra Inc., a leading cloud backup,
recovery and restore software provider since 1986, today announced the
beta availability of Asigra AWS EBS Snapshot Manager. With Asigra AWS
EBS Snapshot Manager, service providers and application administrators
can quickly and easily create a snapshot schedule through a
user-friendly, Web-based GUI that automates taking snapshots of one or
more AWS EC2 instances. This automation eliminates the need to write
complex scripts, thereby reducing development time, management
requirements and other resources. Streamlining the management of EC2
instances with automated functionality such as restore, copy, delete,
migration between regions, start, stop, launch and the ability to delete
snapshots on the fly results in financial and time savings.
With support for AWS EBS Snapshots
on EC2 instances, Asigra now provides the broadest end-to-end
enterprise-class data protection across physical, virtual, cloud and
mobile computing environments. AWS EBS Snapshot Manager BETA will be
presented this week in booth #1235 at AWS re:Invent which takes place
October 6-9, 2015 in Las Vegas.
According
to Synergy Research, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is currently the leader
in cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) with 29% marketshare,
compared to Microsoft Azure (10%), IBM (7%), and Google (5%) . In
addition to marketshare leadership, AWS demonstrated growth of 49%
year-over-year, highlighting the demand for this service. However,
organizations that leverage AWS for data storage are challenged with
ensuring the protection of this data as the current processes lack a
simple, automated approach.
"It is
difficult to perform and manage snapshots of virtual machines in an
Amazon environment - in fact, it can be painful for many administrators
because of the complexity and absence of automation or policy-based
controls," said Eran Farajun, Executive Vice President, Asigra. "The
free Asigra AWS EBS Snapshot Manager solves these problems while
eliminating the need for companies to rely on backup or disaster
recovery point solutions to ensure recovery."
Highlights of the Asigra AWS EBS Snapshot Manager include:
-
Simple management. Allows users
to quickly and simply create, manage, and delete VM snapshots on AWS --
all through easy-to-set automated rules.
-
Easy scheduling. Users can schedule snapshots anytime of the day, week, or month to optimize their data protection strategy.
-
Single interface. Users can view and manage multiple virtual machine snapshots through a single Web user interface.
