Why You Should Be Concerned About Your Existing Tape-Based Backup System
CRC's solutions are quite different - and
vastly superior - to traditional backup methods.
CRC DataProtection solves many problems associated with
tape-based systems, and can increase the security of your critical data while saving you administrative and other costs.
Tape-based backup is...
- Time-consuming, costing hours of productivity backing
up entire sets
- Vulnerable to damage, theft or loss
- Unprotected if tapes are stolen and data is read
- Inefficient, becoming increasingly expensive and difficult to manage
through the data lifecycle
- Platform-dependent, requiring specific software platforms for backup operations
- Failure-prone, as companies using tape backup report failure in 20-50% of recoveries
CRC Data Protection offers many immediate benefits over traditional tape backup:
- Reduced backup time - Incremental backup reduces backup time significantly
- Reduced costs - Tape storage and administrative manpower costs are reduced
- Increased protection - Data is stored offsite in a secured datacenter
- Increased security - All backup data is AES-encrypted in transit to ensure 100% security
- Increased efficiency - Backup is performed remotely across entire networks with a single user
- Increased compatibility - Multiple database types and platforms are compatible
- Increased reliability - Disk-to-disk backup and restore is used for 100% integrity of information
Agentless Backup - Streamlined and Secure
Traditionally, preservation of critical business data has been a hit-or-miss proposition, with backup quality dependent upon local staff and equipment. CRC Data Protection utilizes an
agentless backup and recovery system that simplifies the entire process. No software is installed on every server or PC whose data you wish to archive or restore. Instead, a single installed client allows you to manage
backup and restoration tasks
remotely across distributed computing environments from a single administration point.
The result is significantly easier implementation and management, requiring less IT staff to manage backups.
Enterprise-Class Fault Tolerance Capability
With standalone backup systems, any failure of the system machine results in a service outage. CRC Data Protection's data storage system utilizes an N+1 grid in which three or more systems operate as nodes in a powerful high-availability (HA) cluster. The benefits are both added redundancy, as the grid continues to function even if one data storage system node goes down, as well as better backup performance, since all system nodes in the grid equally share the communication and processing load from every backup client.
CRC also has you covered in the event that your backup is interrupted. Our backup client software automatically attempts to reconnect to the data storage system, resuming the process exactly where it was interrupted. Completely automated, scheduled, and self-resuming backups translate to significant cumulative cost savings through reduced administration time.
