3. What is AppAssure?
AppAssure Backup and Replication is the world’s fastest
and easiest backup and disaster recovery software for
Windows application servers and desktops.
The only complete “all-in-one” backup and disaster recovery
software solution, AppAssure enables local recoveries from
any type of failure in just minutes, with the added assurance of
offsite application and data backup and recovery from a total
site disaster.

4. AppAssure Product Architecture
AppAssure can be deployed as a single-server or a multi-server architecture.
Single-server architecture consists of AppAssure Server and Agent running on
the same server typically seen in small environments where as a multi- server
architecture consists of a dedicated AppAssure Server protecting one or multiple
Agents running different application workloads.

5. Corruption Detection
It is known that 20% of all outages in Exchange are due to data
corruption
When Microsoft Exchange 2003 and 2007 mailbox servers are protected with
AppAssure, it performs a mountability check on all exchange databases
after every incremental snapshot. This corruption detection feature delivers
the ability to alert administrators before failure and provides a path for
immediate recovery in the case of a failure.
AppAssure also performs an off-host nightly attach to all the databases
being protected on a SQL server.

6. Off-Host Processing
Backup applications consume memory and processor cycles application servers, therefore
they have traditionally been run during off-hours. Also, as the data size continues to grow
backup windows continue to shrink. Lastly, traditional backup applications are not equipped
deliver effective post data processing such as compression and data deduplication.
AppAssure allows ridding backup windows and alleviating server
load caused by processor and memory hog backup programs by
offloading all tasks to the AppAssure server.
Also, by performing continuous incremental snapshots,
AppAssure eliminates backup windows and its optimized
architecture allows effective compression and deduplication of
data helps you save costs associated with long term storage.
Lastly, using a single pass approach AppAssure also delivers the ability to
perform transaction log management on Exchange servers.

7. AppAssure Live
 AppAssure enables you to bring your application service online even
before the data restore is complete.
 AppAssure Live enables data to be instantly available during recovery.
As matter of fact, the data is available for use before it is recovered.
 We also perform Bare Metal Recovery to similar,
dissimilar and virtual infrastructure that most
competitors do not.
 AppAssure Live used with Bare Metal Recovery – both
to similar and dissimilar hardware – can be coupled to
recover application servers that face total outage.

8. Continuous High-Availability
Native high-availability solutions are expensive, needy and
localized. Customers looking at keeping the Recovery Point
and Recovery Time to a minimum find management of these
solutions to be very overwhelming.
The Standby features of AppAssure deliver continuous
high availability to physical or virtual infrastructure using
incremental approach allowing you to keep the Recovery
Point and Recovery Time to a minimum.
AppAssure Standby solutions do not require the acquisition
of additional Licenses needed for OS or Application Servers.

9. Fast Multi-Terabyte Server Backups
Managing large data warehouses starts with backup
and disaster recovery decisions. Users of large data
warehouses (1TB+) need to quickly access their data
in the event of a system failure so performance and
application availability become critical. Backup
technology and recovery processes must meet data
protection requirements.
AppAssure is the only “all-in-one” backup and
disaster recovery software that guarantees fast multi-
terabyte server backups:
 Compression & deduplication: Reduces backup storage footprint by up to 12x over traditional backup
solutions.
 Live complete application protection: Eliminates backup windows and eliminates full/incremental
backup jobs.
 Retention policies: Control how long to keep snapshots for compliance and retention purposes.
 Snapshot granularity: Snapshots can be generated every 15 minutes reducing data loss.
 Block based snapshots: Fast backups — only 1% overhead on production servers.
 Live volume rollbacks: Instant recoveries of large volumes reducing application downtime.

10. What AppAssure Customers Say
Brendan Hourihan – Technology Services Network Engineer, Flagler College:
“With AppAssure, I thought I entered into a dreamland! Finally I’m
talking with somebody who has a philosophy about backups that
makes sense – a more logical approach to how data is backed up
AND what you can do with the backed-up data: you can replicate it,
synchronize it, and more!”
Peter Hammerl – IT Administrator, Hamilton Port Authority:
AppAssure is working great. I’ve tested restoring files and databases,
and everything has gone smoothly. The application is pretty granular
so we can choose what to backup, at what time intervals, etc. We
can get exactly what we want when we want it.”
Eric Sagerdahl – IT Analyst, Walden House:
“We’ve always been happy with the support … if you really need to
talk to somebody right away, there’s always someone right there for
you... I honestly don’t know how we would have recovered all the
data before AppAssure.”
