Solutions for Enterprise IT Organizations
Actifio is deployed in enterprise IT organizations of all sizes to reduce capital expense, radically simplify IT infrastructure and deliver unparalleled business availability. The virtualization of data management enables Actifio to optimize the management of copies of data—leading to enterprises deploying Actifio to address several business issues. Some of the commonly deployed solutions address the following requirements.
Enhance business availability, eliminate backup and restore windows
With the rapid growth in production data size, legacy backup tools cannot protect critical business information or recover information in time, leaving businesses vulnerable to data loss or lower availability. Actifio technology is purpose-built to instantly protect (no backup windows) and recover (no restore windows) large amounts of data, eliminating the windows of vulnerability. Actifio eliminates “backup agents,” freeing business application servers from backup and restore operations. Integrated data deduplication, compression and encrypted replication drive down the storage footprint, network utilization and eliminate the point solution software license costs.
Simplify IT and reduce operations expenses with next-generation data management for any IT environment
Eliminate the chaos of infrastructure and management of multiple point tools; backup software, device or host dependent snapshot and replication tools, tools to manage copies of data for test and development, search, analytics or compliance. Radically simplify IT infrastructure with the Actifio PAS platform and leverage the benefits of virtualizing data management; a single solution for multiple business applications, single pane of glass, independent of the application, operating system, server, storage or IT architecture. With consumer-grade simplicity, Actifio establishes a new industry benchmark on ease-of-use.
Dramatically improve business agility with instant virtual copies
Actifio allows copies of data to be instantly available for any application, with no additional storage requirement. Clones of data can be made for I/O intensive applications. Actifio allows users to efficiently capture application-consistent data multiple times a day with no impact on hosts or storage systems.
Verify business continuity with simple failover and failback testing
Want to verify if your business is really available in the event of a site or equipment failure? Actifio delivers industry’s simplest solution to verify recovery from a site failure and failback upon restoration of the primary site. With a 3-click operation, users are able to test failovers or perform actual failover to a disaster recovery site. A simple syncback operation restores the primary site, allowing users to revert back to normal mode of operation. All this performed at up to 10X lower cost of capital and operational expense.
Defer capital expense by improving storage utilization
Unleash the full capability of the production storage device by freeing the capacity used by snapshot or replicated data. Actifio can offload the production array from these copies and store them in lower cost storage, as part of the Protection and Availability Storage system. Users can lower the overall storage costs by more than 50% as a result.
Optimize replication for disaster recovery and business continuity
DeDup Async™ technology eliminates movement of all duplicate data, driving down network bandwidth utilization by 70%. In addition, the integrated Storage Virtualization technology enables heterogeneous data replication further driving down the costs of storage per GB by up to 75%.
