This comprehensive offering is provided by two AT&T Data Centers located in the Washington D.C. area and in the Southeast. Built with the very latest software and hardware technology currently available, SysArc’s Service offers the reliability and security that customers demand for their critical data protection needs.
Since each Data Center possesses redundant dual uplinks that are connected directly to AT&T’s Global IP Backbone, as well as a minimum N+1 redundancy factor on all critical infrastructure systems, customers can rest assured that there will be no downtime. In addition, these Data Centers are located within hardened facilities protected by multiple security measures including continuous closed circuit video surveillance, security breach alarms, electronic card key access, biometric palm scan and individual personal access codes.
The SysArc Data Vaulting Service has been designed with best-of-breed hardware and software to meet the demanding needs of enterprise backup and disaster recovery. Multiple servers and storage devices from industry leaders EMC and Dell have been deployed to mange even the largest volumes of data protection. The backup and recovery software is provided by Asigra, and does not require Agents to complete a backup and recovery. This software was specifically developed as a multi-site backup and recovery solution for both enterprises and service providers.
Tim Brennan, Managing Partner of SysArc stated “We took a lot of time to fully understand the needs of our customers and quickly realized that we would have to offer the most robust solution possible. The Asigra application has advanced compression and de-duplication features that significantly reduces the amount of data to be sent across the wire, which reduces bandwidth degradation and saves our customers money on the storage costs. The application also works on multiple operating systems and configurations so that we can backup and restore almost any server and desktop that our customers have deployed in their environment, no matter where they are in the world. We believe our customers will appreciate and see tremendous benefits to this solution for the storage of their critical information.”
