The levels within the waterfall are defined in minutes, hours, and days; weeks, months, and years. The retention policy is
enforced by the nightly rollup process.
For long term archiving, AppAssure 5 provides the ability to create an archive of the source or target core on any
removable media. The archive is internally optimized and all data in the archive is compressed, encrypted, and
deduplicated. If the total size of the archive is larger than the space available on the removable media, the archive spans
across multiple devices based on the available space on the media. The archive also can be locked with a passphrase.
Recovery from an archive does not require a new core; any core can ingest the archive and recover data if the
administrator has the passphrase and the encryption keys.

Virtualization And Cloud

The AppAssure 5 Core is cloud-ready, which allows you to leverage the compute capacity of the cloud for recovery.
AppAssure 5 can export any protected or replicated machine to licensed versions of VMware or Hyper-V. Exports can
be ad-hoc or continuous. With continuous exports, the virtual machine is incrementally updated after every snapshot.
The incremental updates are very fast and provide standby-clones that are ready to be powered up with a click of a
button. The supported exports are:
• VMware Workstation or Server on a folder
• Direct export to a Vsphere or VMware ESXi host and Microsoft Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V

Alerts And Event Management

In addition to HTTP REST API, AppAssure 5 also includes an extensive set of features for event logging and notification
using e-mail, Syslog, or Windows Event Log. e-mail notifications can be used to alert users or groups of the health or
status of different events in response to an alert. The Syslog and Windows Event Log methods are used for centralized
logging to a repository in multi-operating system environments; while in Windows-only environments, only the Windows
Event Log is used.

AppAssure 5 License Portal

The AppAssure 5 License Portal provides easy-to-use tools for managing license entitlements. You can download,
activate, view, and manage license keys and create a company profile to track your license assets. Additionally, the
portal enables service providers and re-sellers to track and manage their customer licenses.

Web Console

AppAssure 5 features a new Web-based central console that manages distributed AppAssure 5 cores from one central
location. MSPs and enterprise customers with multiple distributed cores can deploy the central console to get a unified
view for central management. The AppAssure 5 Central Management Console provides the ability to organize the
managed cores in hierarchical organizational units. These organizational units can represent business units, locations,
or customers for MSPs with role-based access. The central console can also run reports across managed cores.

Service Management APIs

AppAssure 5 comes bundled with a service management API and provides programmatic access to all of the
functionality available through the AppAssure 5 Central Management Console. The service management API is a REST
API. All the API operations are performed over SSL and are mutually authenticated using X.509 v3 certificates. The
management service can be accessed from within the environment or directly over the Internet from any application
that can send and receive an HTTPS request and response. The approach facilitates easy integration with any Web
