Solutions for Service Providers
Actifio’s virtualized and service-driven architecture is tailor-made for Managed, Cloud or Application Service Providers–not only driving down capital and operational expense, but also delivering unprecedented availability to their user base and new data management services.
Drive down capital expenses up to 90%
Actifio’s Virtual Data Pipeline (VDP) technology transforms the chaos of multiple silos of infrastructure and applications traditionally deployed for data management into a single, SLA-driven, virtualized Protection and Availability Storage (PAS) device that copies, stores and moves less.
Accelerate revenues by delivering new data management services
Virtualization enables Service Providers to leverage economies of scale and overcome vendor and technology dependencies to finally deliver new data management services that were previously not possible.
- Disaster Recovery-on-Demand: Businesses of all sizes have the need for protecting valuable corporate data from site disasters. While some companies may have a second data center, many companies are looking for a trusted Managed Service Provider (MSP) to deliver this service on demand.
- Business Continuity-on-Demand: When downtime is not an option, in addition to ensuring that data is protected, applications need the ability to continue to operate during site failures. With Actifio’s data replication and the ability to initiate a virtual server on demand, MSPs can deliver the most differentiated and compelling business continuity service in the market.
- Backup-as-a-Service: Protecting data is an integral part of IT operations. Yet, it happens to be one of the most complex and expensive parts. The Actifio solution can enable MSPs to deliver a solution for backup that can be remotely managed and seamlessly integrated into their service portfolio.
- Data Access-on-Demand: IT organizations are demanding access to their data, from different periods of time, in a hosted environment. Actifio’s VDP technology allows users to access a copy of their data remotely from their location.
- On-ramp to the Cloud: Organizations identify applications that can be deployed in the Cloud and others that need to be on-premise. The decisions are dynamic, changing based on many factors. Leveraging the Actifio platform, MSPs can deliver a service allowing users to seamlessly migrate applications to and from the MSP’s Cloud. This ability to seamlessly integrate Private and Public Cloud environments into a hybrid cloud lowers the barriers of concern for IT.
Align operations with service oriented management model
With an SLA-driven, single pane of glass management of all copies of data, Service Providers are able to manage their internal operations to align with their external business model.
Free infrastructure from vendor dependency
Storage virtualization is an integral technology of Actifio PAS device, allowing the Service Provider to free themselves from storage vendor dependency and select a new device, re-use existing storage assets or even another storage service, based on the SLA. This freedom of choice drives down the unit cost of storage by up to 50%, freeing up capital to invest in the business.
Improve network bandwidth utilization
Actifio’s DeDup Async technology is industry’s first purpose-built protocol for replicating data optimized for network bandwidth utilization. This technology delivers the advantages of asynchronous data replication combined with a global deduplication protocol that eliminates the need for a dedicated network to replicate production data and drives down bandwidth utilization for a single network by up to 70%.
