Arcserve
today unveiled Arcserve
Business Continuity Cloud, the
first fully-integrated, cloud-born solution to prevent the impacts of unplanned
downtime by immediately restoring access to critical data, systems and
applications across complex, multi-generational IT infrastructures ranging from
non-x86 and x86, to software as a service (SaaS) and infrastructure as a
service (IaaS). With this solution, Arcserve solves the challenges of
protecting modern IT caused by the time, skill, expense and multiple tools
needed to protect new workloads.
According to new data being released by Arcserve, 64
percent of global IT decision-makers agree that protecting business-critical
data has not become easier over the past five years, despite efforts to adopt
solutions to simplify and reduce costs. Further, as backup infrastructures are
increasingly becoming more costly and complex, the tolerance for data loss is
diminishing. Ninety-three percent of IT decision-makers revealed their
organizations could tolerate "minimal," if any, data loss from critical business
applications, yet just 26 percent feel extremely confident in their ability to
recover quickly enough to avoid business disruption.
"Based on our observations and underscored by this
research, it's evident that organizations cannot effectively protect modern IT
infrastructures with today's incomplete tools that create more complexity,
drive up the total cost of ownership, and ultimately increase the risk of data
loss and downtime through gaps in protection," said Oussama El-Hilali, Vice
President of Products at Arcserve. "Arcserve Business Continuity Cloud is the
only solution capable of addressing these challenges by bringing all data
protection processes together in one place. Whether migrating workloads to the
cloud, needing advanced VM protection or requiring support for sub-minute RTOs
and RPOs - it's all under one hood."
"Arcserve has accomplished something very unique in this
market by closing a substantial gap for businesses requiring more robust data
protection capabilities without the complexity of juggling multiple backup
tools for new or disparate workloads," said Edwin Yuen, Senior Analyst at
Enterprise Strategy Group. "Many solutions today consist of products bolted
together with a UI upgrade, yet Arcserve Business Continuity Cloud stands out
with a level of integration beyond most other vendors, creating a truly
seamless solution that's extremely intuitive yet incredibly powerful."
Arcserve Business Continuity Cloud eliminates
the need for other data protection tools and management consoles with
fully-integrated capabilities to protect and restore applications and systems
in any location, on-premises and in public and private clouds.
- Provides a consumer-grade user experience: Capabilities spanning the data
protection lifecycle are accessible through a customizable, cloud-based
web console. Most tasks are implemented in three clicks or less.
- Eliminates data loss and extended downtime: Supports near-zero RTOs and RPOs with
high availability, minutes with virtual standby and instant VM, hours with
bare metal restore, and granular recovery and quick discovery for
compliance.
- Shifts the economic profile: Fully-integrated technologies
reduce time and money spent on IT management by up to 50 percent.
- Simplifies protecting modern IT infrastructures: Safeguards modern infrastructures,
including those with x86, non-x86, SaaS and IaaS. Multi-cloud and
cross-cloud data protection support organizations planning to, or are
currently in the process of implementing a cloud platform for backup or
disaster recovery.
Additional findings from the survey found
that as data protection concerns grow, most organizations are looking to the
cloud for backup and disaster recovery. IT decision-makers cite implementing a
cloud platform for backup and disaster recovery as their top priority this
year, with more confidence in protecting critical data in private clouds than
local storage, hypervisors, public clouds and blockchain. Concerns over downtime
and data loss are growing, primarily driven by:
- Media coverage of data breaches and/or ransomware
attacks;
- Cambridge Analytica's access to Facebook users'
personal information; and
- The 2017 Equifax data breach
Arcserve Business Continuity Cloud is available today.
