Include Key PI Recovery Features at no Extra Cost
For businesses focused on data protection, PI Recovery transforms the way businesses manage and protect their data by delivering market leading cloud backup solutions that seamlessly and efficiently manage, scale and deliver data protection services.
Businesses rely on PI Recovery Cloud Backup features including:
- An agentless backup architecture
- Security and Compliance
- Deduplication
- Mass Deployment
- Continuous Data Protection
An agentless backup architecture
PI Recovery Cloud Backup requires no agents, which inherently makes it easier to install and support than legacy backup and recovery solutions.
Security and Compliance
PI Recovery Cloud Backup & Recovery is the most secure agentless data protection platform in the industry.
PI Recovery encrypts the data in flight and at rest from cradle to grave.
- FIPS 140-2 Certified
- From laptop or remote office sites (PI Recovery DS-Client) to central repositories (PI Recovery DS-System or BLM)
- At rest in the centralized repositories
- Data destroyed with certificate of destruction
Deduplication
PI Recovery Cloud Backup & Recovery software is designed to alleviate the challenges of backing up and recovering data into the cloud. PI Recovery Cloud Backup offers unprecedented efficiencies to the data being captured, ingested, stored and transmitted over the network using the following methods:
- De-duplication techniques
- Backup and transmission of only new/changed data (incremental forever)
- Advanced Compression techniques
Mass Deployment
PI Recovery Cloud Backup & Recovery enables IT Ops to create, deploy and configure PI Recovery software simultaneously to thousands of laptops, desktops, virtual machines and remote sites using templates. Leveraging Microsoft® Active DirectoryTM administrators can deploy the PI Recovery software in silent mode and configure the software automatically to ensure minimum time consumption for end users with similar information (configuration, schedules, backup sets, and retention rules).
Mass Deployment makes backup & restores easier to administer in the following way:
- Automatic installation using Microsoft’s Active Directory and MSI files for DS-Mobile Clients.
- Automatic installation and configuration of PI Recovery DS-Client software based on templates. PI Recovery offers flexibility of installation through XML configuration files that can be generated, edited and saved for future installations.
- Reduced administration tasks through templates. Template-based mass deployment allows for standardization, simpler administration of accounts and troubleshooting.
- Silent mode installation (low touch). Use the MSI PI Recovery DS-Mobile Client Installation to deploy the PI Recovery DS-Mobile Client in silent mode or with a reduced set of installation parameters. Use the XML configuration files to hide any screens of the PI Recovery DS-Client software installation, and set a predefined value for any parameters that would require input during the installation.
- All of the above translate into reduced operational costs and reduced human capital requirements.
Continuous Data Protection
PI Recovery’s agentless CDP feature allows unlimited granularity since users can have their data recovered from an infinite number of Recovery Point Objectives (RPO). CDP protected files are backed up whenever they are saved to disk by users at the source computers. It also continuously monitors the changes on the specified target files and backs up the changes as soon as they are detected. PI Recovery CDP is implemented as a backup option and can be applied to file systems and email backup sets to improve recovery SLA of critical data.
The benefits of using CDP include:
- Increase SLA compliance. CDP provides the user with the peace of mind that the latest version of critical data has been backed up as soon as they save it on their hard drive and is available to be recovered.
- Flexible RPOs. Traditional backups can only restore data to the point at which the backup was taken. With CDP, there are no backup schedules. When protected data is saved to disk, it is also asynchronously written to the central storage repository (PI Recovery DS-System) or to the Cloud. CDP keeps not only the latest saved version of protected data but also keeps track of the previous versions, allowing data recovery from a wider range of time.
- Immediate protection of critical data. Once protected data is saved to disk, it is backed up locally (if local storage is available) and is simultaneously sent encrypted over the Wide Area Network (WAN) to be stored offsite in the centralized repository. Backup window and Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) are reduced to zero.
