Your appliance sets a new standard for unified data protection by combining backup, replication, and
recovery in a single solution that is engineered to be the fastest and most reliable backup for protecting
virtual machines (VM), physical machines, and cloud environments.
Your appliance is capable of handling up to petabytes of data with built-in global deduplication,
compression, encryption, and replication to any private or public cloud infrastructure. Server applications
and data can be recovered in minutes for data retention (DR) and compliance.
Your appliance supports multi-hypervisor environments on VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V
private and public clouds.
Your appliance combines the following technologies:
• Live Recovery
• Verified Recovery
• Universal Recovery
• True Global Deduplication
These technologies are engineered with secure integration for cloud disaster recovery and deliver fast
and reliable recovery. With its scalable object store, your appliance is uniquely capable of handling up to
petabytes of data very rapidly with built-in global deduplication, compression, encryption, and replication
to any private or public cloud infrastructure.
