AppAssure’s Replay 4 Selected as a Backup Product of the Year by Storage Magazine

January 25, 2010 – Reston, VA.  –AppAssure Software is pleased to announce its next-generation backup and disaster recovery solution, Replay 4, has been named by Storage Magazine as a 2009 Backup Product of the Year.

AppAssure’s Replay 4 was chosen by the experts at Storage Magazine due to its unique, next generation approach to Windows backup and recovery, saving its customers real storage costs while ensuring rapid recovery of mission critical data.  AppAssure customer Brendan Hourihan, Technology Services Network Engineer at Flagler College, exclaims, “I’m seeing disk-space savings of 84%.  I thought I entered into a dreamland. Finally, backups that makes sense – a more logical approach to how data is backed up AND what you can do with the backed-up data. You can replicate it, synchronize it, and more!”

“Receiving this recognition is a strong testimony to the tremendous value Replay 4 provides our customers by dramatically reducing their backup and delivering application recoveries in minutes,” notes AppAssure CEO Najaf Husain. “We’re especially gratified that Replay 4 is helping companies who felt the pressures of last year’s U.S. economic situation significantly reduce their storage costs and boost their ROI. We’re pleased to have concluded a phenomenal year, and to have started 2010 with an industry acknowledgment such as this.”

Due to the high value provided by AppAssure’s next generation Windows backup and recovery software, 2009 was a year of tremendous growth for the company–

  • Completed its 12th quarter of consecutive growth in December
  • Expanded its customer base by 268% – making it the world’s fastest growing backup and disaster recovery software company
  • AppAssure’s customers successfully completed more than 40 million backups making more than 3.5 petabytes of data available to restore within minutes
  • Built and grew its partner program to a global footprint of more than 130 channel partners in dozens of countries spanning all seven continents.

Replay customers typically experience fast return on investment of typically 5X or more in the form of both cash savings and greater IT productivity.  More than half of AppAssure’s customers say Replay 4 paid for itself through staffing and storage savings in six months or less through the product’s advanced approach to backup, which addresses a complete range of disaster recovery needs in a single, integrated application:

  • Eliminating backup jobs
  • Reducing disk space by 80% or more with built-in data deduplication and compression,
  • Reducing server down-time allowing users to access applications (including e-mail) during a live recovery
  • Reducing bandwidth requirements by up to 80% for offsite disaster recovery
  • Recovering any message, file, database, storage group or entire server from bare-metal in minutes
  • Leveraging virtualization technology to dynamically create production ready clones of your servers
  • Enabling integrated WAN replication to move servers and backups off-site to public or private clouds.

“Replay 4’s complete application protection approach to the age-old problem of backups enables lightening fast backups with little impact,” Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Greg Shields notes. “And with rapid restore of applications, files, and individual hosts, it’s an excellent solution for small and medium enterprises.”
