Replay for BlackBerry®

Complete protection for your BlackBerry Enterprise Server environment

Replay differs from traditional disaster recovery products because it goes way beyond simply replicating data from one server to another. BlackBerry Enterprise Servers (BESs) are complex software environments that require the coordination of several applications to maintain uptime that your end users expect. Therefore, you can’t just replicate the BES application and data; you must protect the operating system, server configurations, and all the other components such as Active Directory, role servers, the databases, and more. This is where Replay stands tall and other products fall short.

Protection Against Any Type of Failure

Replay for BlackBerry protects your entire messaging ecosystem, not just the BlackBerry data, like other products. This means you protect everything BlackBerry relies upon for operation, such as the BES, application, operating system, databases, security patches, active directory and every single configuration setting on each server in your environment. Your Research in Motion® BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Exchange) relies upon more than one server to deliver those mission-critical messages and alerts 24/7, so Replay protects everything.

Recover & Run Your BlackBerry Services from Anywhere

Replay can recover your BES environment to any alternate location as long as you have an available and accessible system (virtual or physical). In the event of a disaster, you can run an exact replica of your BES environment from an alternate location or disaster recovery site. Replay also supports ISTP (Inter Stellar Transport Protocol), so you can run BES from the moon or Mars. (Okay, we made that last part up, but if you have a server and it was remotely accessible, then you really could!)

Rollback to any Point in Time

Replay takes ultra-fast, ultra-efficient images of the changes that occur to your entire ecosystem (data, application, operating system and any configuration changes or patches). These images provide point-in-time recovery, so you can rewind your BlackBerry environment after a failure back to the last known good point in a matter of minutes. Next time a failure occurs, rather than restoring backups from tape and rebuilding entire servers, one by one, just rewind to the last recovery point and press “play”! Your systems will be back online in minutes.
