Introduction To AppAssure 5

This chapter describes the features, functionality, and architecture of AppAssure 5.

About AppAssure 5

AppAssure 5 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.
AppAssure 5 combines backup and replication into one integrated and unified data protection product. AppAssure 5
also provides application awareness to ensure reliable application data recovery from your backups. AppAssure 5 is
built on the new, patent-pending True Scale™ architecture which delivers the fastest backup performance with
aggressive, near-zero recovery time objectives (RTO), and recovery point objectives (RPO).
AppAssure 5 combines several unique, innovative, and breakthrough technologies:
•

Live Recovery

• Recovery Assure
• 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, AppAssure 5 is uniquely capable of handling up to Petabytes of data rapidly
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 purposes.
Today's legacy backup tools and first-generation VM backup tools are inefficient and ineffective. The outdated backup
tools lack the ability to handle large-scale data and do not offer the level of performance and reliability needed for
protecting business-critical applications. Combine this with complex and mixed IT environments and it presents an
administrative challenge for IT professionals and vulnerability of system data.
AppAssure 5 addresses this complexity and inefficiency through our core technology and support of multi-hypervisor
environments including those running on VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V, which comprise both private and
public clouds. AppAssure 5 offers these technological advances while dramatically reducing IT management and
storage costs.

AppAssure 5 Core Technologies

Live Recovery
AppAssure 5 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.
AppAssure 5 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
