VMware Backup, Replication & Recovery Software

Dell 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.

• Near-instant recovery with our Live Recovery™ technology
• 5 minute RPO with near-CDP and concurrent snapshots of multiple VMs or servers

Dell 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.

• Reduces CPU performance degradation found in "agentless" tools
• Near 0% CPU utilization
• Require less than 20 MB of memory

Backups are worthless if you cannot recover from them. Dell 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.

Dell AppAssure provides deep application integration with today's mission-critical Microsoft applications, including:

• Microsoft Hyper-V | VMware ESX | VMware ESX(i) | Microsoft Exchange | Microsoft SQL | Microsoft SharePoint

Dell AppAssure 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.

Dell AppAssure 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, Dell AppAssure is also affordable.

Dell AppAssure is the leading, award-winning unified backup, replication and recovery software, used by thousands of customers around the world.

VMware specifications:

• VMware vSphere 5.0 and 4.x
• VMware ESX, 4.x and 3.x
• VMware ESXi 5.0, 4.x and 3.x

Better technology means better data protection

Advantages of AppAssure data protection

What makes Dell AppAssure software stand above legacy backup software and reduced-function virtual machine-only solutions?

• We roll proven image-level backup, replication and recovery technology into a unified solution.
• We protect seamlessly across Windows and Linux OSs and move easily among physical, virtual and cloud environments.
• And, we build in more functionality in every license.

Here’s how Dell AppAssure technology delivers better better Windows backup and Linux backup protection:

Highly scaleable, highly efficient backup.AppAssure scales for speed by automatically ‘turning on’ as many AppAssure core CPUs as are needed to handle workload peaks. It also scales for data capacity with ultra-efficient block-level incremental-forever backups that are data-deduplicated across all the servers on your network. This results in:

• Line-speed user access to applications. Feel free to schedule as many simultaneous backups as you like even during peak work hours because backup jobs never get in the way of full-speed production environments, even if your network runs at 10 gbit/sec.
• More efficient disk storage. Dell AppAssure keeps your storage footprint small whether your storage environment is small or large. And, Exabyte-level scalability easily meets the needs of Big Data environments.

Rapid recovery from nearly any point in time. Achieve near-zero application recovery time objectives (RTO). Choose to recover from any one of up to 288 recovery points a day for Windows to practically eliminate the potential for data loss.

Flexible recovery options from a single backup pass.

Comprehensive data off-siting, fail-over, fail-back. Dell AppAssure builds in WAN-optimized, deduplication-aware replication for off-siting backup data to public or private clouds. Data seeding is available for sites with slow or highly latent links. A virtual standby function creates and maintains an up-to-date virtual standby clone of a production server as of the last snapshot. Fail-Over and Fail-Back allows your secondary site or a managed service provider site to recover instances from replicated machines and immediately commence protection on the failed-over machines, and then fail back when the problem is solved.

Unified user interface. Protect a few or a few thousand machines from any Web browser. AppAssure 5 features a new web-based management console that is compatible with industry-standard browsers on laptops, tablets and notebooks. You can manage your data protection responsibilities and solve problems from any location with an Internet connection.
