Most online backup solutions say that they are fast, flexible and easy. But Storage Guardian uses these words with extra precision and meaning:

  • Fast: Storage Guardian uses the most advanced data compression technology to securely ‘shrink’ your data before sending it to remote servers. This means backups are faster and use less bandwidth. Conversely, data recoveries are speedy.

  • Flexible: Storage Guardian is based on award-winning Asigra Televaulting technology that can address the needs of any network topology and size. Only Storage Guardian can perform “bare metal restores” — restoring the operating system, applications, settings and data for an entire machine onto a new machine with different hardware than the original one.

  • Easy: initial set-up is straightforward. Software is installed on just one server. And that first (often rather large) backup can be performed to a local hard disk that is sent to Storage Guardian — convenient and efficient.

Most business are now totally dependent on their computers and the data that resides on them. “One major trend in small and midsized businesses in particular is that they’re now using servers to manage email, contacts, directories and business-specific databases,” says Minns. “To backup that data and — more importantly — to properly restore it, the backup system must be capable of accurately recreating the state of the server at the time of the disaster. None of the consumer-grade systems can do that.”

Cost reduction is another area where Storage Guardian leads the way. Until now, ‘highly available’ online backup has had a reputation for being beyond the reach of most SMBs, which led to many SMBs depending on risky onsite tape-based backup approaches or consumer-grade online backup. To address this, Storage Guardian offers a hybrid model whereby ‘highly available’ storage is blended with a tiered-storage approach that features intelligent backup lifecycle management. This can reduce the cost per stored gigabyte to around 60 cents.
