- Enable disaster recovery of on-premises and cloud workloads on GCP
- Rewind and recover data sets of 100 or more terabytes in minutes
- Retain point-in-time data from days to decades
- Reuse backups to provision thin clones
- Protect workloads from any cloud or data centre to Google Cloud
It’s available for download via Google Cloud Launcher.
Actifio said at its Data Driven 2018 conference that it would be expanding its long-standing alliance with IBM, with a new focus on cyber resiliency.
