SAN RAMON, California,
July 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the world leader in Active Data
Replication™, is pleased to announce several strategic customers
have begun beta testing WANdisco Fusion's new Backup functionality
as part of their existing contract with WANdisco.
WANdisco Fusion for Backup features improved functionality for
customers including:
- No backup-dedicated storage: WANdisco Fusion for
Backup, unlike other solutions, does not require dedicated hardware
leading to greater cost savings and ROI
- No scheduled backup period: Changes to data are recorded
wherever they occur with automatic recovery in case of an outage
from any point in time
- Opt-in backup: An administrator can select
subsets of content for backup to minimize costs
- Low overhead: Adding backup capabilities to a specific
location imposes no additional overhead on regular Fusion
operations for the source system
- Cross-target backups: Users can back up content to other
Fusion supported environments, including from on-premises to cloud
object storage such as Amazon S3 or Glacier
- No administrator overhead: No additional time for
maintenance is required once backup functionality has been
enabled
- Co-existence: Fusion Backup works with regular Fusion
continuous active-active replication
Other leading market solutions for backup need:
- Dedicated hardware for backup: Other solutions need
dedicated resources for backup with no option of running analytics
on data on these clusters
- Scheduled backups: Other solutions require scheduled
backups which either take a manual copy of the file system using
DistCp or HDFS snapshots. Neither solution matches the
functionality of active-active replication which enables continuous
backup.
David Richards, Chief
Executive Officer and Co-founder of WANdisco,
commented:
"The rapid growth of mission-critical applications
means companies cannot afford the risk of downtime and data loss.
WANdisco Fusion continues to be the only solution available which
can guarantee zero RTO in the event of an outage
across multiple locations using our patented active data
replication technology."
