Live Recovery

Live Recovery is instant recovery technology for VMs or servers. It gives you near-continuous access to
data volumes on virtual or physical servers. You can recover an entire volume with near-zero RTO and an
RPO of minutes.
The backup and replication technology records concurrent snapshots of multiple VMs or servers,
providing near instantaneous data and system protection. You can resume the use of the server directly
from the backup file without waiting for a full restore to production storage. Users remain productive and
IT departments reduce recovery windows to meet today's increasingly stringent Recovery Time Objective
(RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) service-level agreements.

Verified Recovery

Verified Recovery enables you to perform automated recovery testing and verification of backups. It
includes, but is not limited to, file systems:- Microsoft Exchange 2007, 2010, and 2013, and different
versions of Microsoft SQL Server 2005, 2008, 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014. Verified Recovery provides
recoverability of applications and backups in virtual and physical environments. It features a
comprehensive integrity checking algorithm based on 256-bit SHA keys that check the correctness of
each disk block in the backup during archiving, replication, and data seeding operations. This ensures that
data corruption is identified early and prevents corrupted data blocks from being maintained or
transferred during the backup process.

Universal Recovery

Universal Recovery technology gives you unlimited machine restoration flexibility. You can restore your
backups from physical systems to virtual machines, virtual machines to virtual machines, virtual machines
to physical systems, or physical systems to physical systems, and carry out bare metal restores to
dissimilar hardware. For example, P2V, V2V, V2P, P2P, P2C, V2C, C2P, and C2V.
Universal Recovery technology also accelerates cross-platform moves among virtual machines. For
example, moving from VMware to Hyper-V or Hyper-V to VMware. It builds in application-level, item-
level, and object-level recovery (individual files, folders, e-mail, calendar items, databases, and
applications). With AppAssure, you can recover or export physical to cloud, or virtual to cloud.

True Global Deduplication

Your appliance provides true global deduplication that reduces your physical disk drive capacity
requirements by offering space reduction ratios exceeding 50:1, while still meeting the data storage
requirements. AppAssure True Scale inline block-level compression and deduplication with line speed
performance, along with built-in integrity checking, prevents data corruption from affecting the quality of
the backup and archiving processes.

True Scale architecture

Your appliance is built on AppAssure True Scale architecture. It leverages dynamic, multi-core pipeline
architecture that is optimized to consistently deliver solid performance for your enterprise environments.
True Scale is designed from the ground up to linearly scale and efficiently store and manage big data, and
deliver RTOs and RPOs of minutes without compromising performance. It comprises of a purpose-built
