You implemented VMware to reduce costs and complexity. Now you need to protect your VMs. AppAssure backup is the fastest image-level backup, replication and recovery software for your VMs. With AppAssure, you can back up your VMs from a single pane of glass using a unified backup, replication and recovery product to help you meet your VMware RTO and RPO objectives. You can use backup for your mission-critical onsite needs and you can replicate offsite for disaster recovery.

AppAssure VMware vSphere backup includes fast image-level and concurrent snapshots, near-CDP (continuous data protection), Changed Block Tracking (CBT), true global deduplication and replication for DR, all unified under a single pane of glass.
AppAssure meets the most aggressive RTO and RPO in the industry:- Near-instant recovery with our Live Recovery™ technology
- 5 minute RPO with near-CDP and concurrent snapshots of multiple VMs or servers
AppAssure delivers local and off-site backup, replication and disaster recovery with built-in deduplication - all in one solution, across virtual, physical and cloud platforms.
Smart Agent™ Technology - Better and Faster than Agentless- Eliminates 70%-80% CPU performance degradation in "Agentless" tools

Backups are worthless if you cannot recover from them. AppAssure automatically validates the application to guarantee successful application recoverability every time. You no longer have to settle for restores that might work or should work; you can rest easy knowing that your application restore will work.
Ease of UseAppAssure is designed for true ease of use. The central management console enables you to protect and centrally manage all of your major applications from a single pane of glass.
Significant Cost SavingsAppAssure backup offers low TCO (total cost of ownership). It's easy to use and deploys quickly with minimal training and implementation effort. With per-socket pricing, AppAssure is also affordable.

Why Customers Choose AppAssure
“AppAssure is exceptional. We would not have gotten this level of service with Symantec or anyone else.”
Imler’s Poultry

“Previously our backup storage would be full after two weeks of nightly backups. Now we can fit ninety-six 15-minute snapshots, 48 hourly snapshots, 7 daily snapshots, 4 weekly snapshots, and one monthly snapshot for EVERY server, and we are using only 33% of our disk space!”
Sioux County

“We got AppAssure to perform backups. But with combined replication it has quickly become the key in our disaster recovery plan.”
Brock White

“It used to take me 58 hours or more to do a full backup during the weekend. With AppAssure backup, I don’t have to do full backups anymore.”
Information Management Systems

“AppAssure backup requires a fraction of the care and feeding of other products. If the auditors walked in tomorrow, I am confident that we can immediately demonstrate that we can recover in our mandated time.”
Southern Bancshare

“AppAssure has awesome deduplication and compression that saves so much room on our backup disk array — 60%-80% increase in free space. It was a huge surprise! We’re protecting 12 servers, but only consuming 121 GB of space.”
