Asigra Inc., a leading
cloud backup, recovery and restore software provider since
1986, today announced the
Asigra Cloud Backup Plug-in for FreeNAS. The
software-based solution combines iXsystems' FreeNAS storage operating system
and the new Asigra Cloud Backup V14 plug-in for FreeNAS for comprehensive data
protection featuring powerful anti-ransomware capabilities. For a limited time,
the solution is free to companies protecting up to ten systems and ten cloud
accounts.
With the expansion of Asigra's
strategic relationship with iXsystems, the hundreds of thousands of FreeNAS
systems currently deployed globally can now be optimized as turnkey backup
systems using the Asigra Cloud Backup V14 plug-in. Users can run the plug-in
for FreeNAS to enable fully agentless backup of all devices on the company's
network. Asigra automatically gathers data from designated desktops,
laptops, servers, mobile devices, and even cloud sources, then compresses,
encrypts, and deduplicates the data before it is sent to the FreeNAS system for
secure storage.
Available with the Asigra
FreeNAS backup system is a sophisticated signature-less malware detection
engine that identifies and quarantines unauthorized or malicious embedded code,
including unknown and zero-day attacks, from penetrating backup and replication
streams. By continually scanning backup data, ransomware attacks are detected
and automatically prevented from impacting the backup and recovery processes.
"iXsystems is committed to providing customers
with an excellent open source platform for storage and plugins," said Brett Davis,
Executive Vice President, iXsystems. "With Asigra backup now available for the
FreeNAS platform, small business customers can rely on this advanced backup
platform with turnkey simplicity."
Asigra FreeNAS
Cloud Backup is a software-based solution configured with the company's latest
software, version 14. The software converges data protection and cyber security to counter rapidly growing
malware attacks on backup data, including ransomware Attack-Loops. The
new appliance protects a full range of backup targets, protecting data on
laptops, desktops, servers, mobile devices and more. The fully agentless backup
solution manages data volumes with global data deduplication and provides full
encryption with FIPS 140-2 support. The solution offers rapid data restoration
that limits downtime and provides automatic file versioning and point-in-time
restoration.
"As
a leading provider of backup for businesses and other organizations, we are
excited to announce Asigra FreeNAS Cloud Backup to our line of products," said
Eran Farajun, Executive Vice President, Asigra. "Building upon the legacy of
the highly acclaimed Asigra TrueNAS Backup Appliance, we now bring this
