We’re very pleased to announce that AppAssure Backup & Replicationby AppAssure Software has been named by Storage Magazine as a top Backup and Disaster Recovery product of 2009! This is a prestigeous honor, and we’d like to thank all of you who have helped to sing the praises of the Backup 2.0 Revolution. Thank you!
This past year really has been a banner one for AppAssure. We’ve seen the release of AppAssure Backup & Replication – what we believe to be the best server backup software on the market. We grew our customer base by 268%, making us the fastest growing provider of backup and disaster recovery software in the industry. Our customers have collectively performed over 40 million backups, totaling more than 3.5 petabytes of data using AppAssure Backup & Replication (and most of them started by downloading the 14 day trial version for free.) We’ve connected with thousands of followers on Twitter and other social communities, and we’ve witnessed first-hand the evolution of data protection as it entered the era of Backup 2.0.
2009 was amazing. 2010 is going to be even better. We’re thrilled to see it start with such a prestigious nomination. We look forward to it continuing with a win!
Industry News
Data center storage virtualization considerations
Servers get a lot of attention, but successful virtualization deployments really depend on storage. Storage protects virtual machine states, retains snapshots and provides user access to shared application data. Because of these activities, availability and performance issues place great demand on a storage infrastructure. So administrators need to understand the most critical data center storage virtualization considerations.
Data Deduplication: A Tongue Twister Worth the Effort
If you’re looking for a new money-saving topic to discuss at the conference table next week, toss out the concept of data deduplication. Yes, it’s a mouthful to say but that mouthful might save you a handful — a handful of dollars, that is.
Cloud data backup management: Users see new options for cloud storage administration
Management isn’t the first concern that comes to mind among many of the end users of cloud data backup. One of the reasons that companies outsource their data backups to cloud data backup service providers is to offload the burden of monitoring, maintaining and supporting the infrastructure. But, tracking key metrics can be helpful, and users are seeing improving options depending on their cloud backup providers.
What Is Cloud Appropriate Data?
As the use of cloud storage becomes more prevalent this year one of the key challenges is what data should go to cloud storage, when that data should be moved there and how should that data be moved there?
Data Center Consolidation On The Cusp
If you thought that packing 14 servers into a 9U space was an example of data center consolidation, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Sure, physical servers and storage units have gotten smaller, but thanks to the widespread adoption of virtual servers and the expanding use of software-based storage, network switching, I/O and even cabling, the data center is looking at perhaps a 100-to-1 or greater future ratio.
