Connected technology for PCs, Laptops and File Servers
Backup Direct™ selected Iron Mountain to provide the technology behind its
PC, laptop and small file server online backup services for three simple
reasons: 1) Iron Mountain is clearly the leading technology supplier with
solid financials and future 2) Iron Mountain's Connected technology is
secure, robust and efficient 3) Iron Mountain's Connected functionality is
highly adapted to the needs of the smaller business.
Connected technology, first launched in 1995, was designed from the ground up to ensure information availability and management for PCs and PC users. The best-of-breed technology provides the industry's leading backup solutions for business desktop and mobile PCs. With solutions for small business as well as large corporates, Connected users include: Hewlett Packard, Deloitte and Touche, Virgin, Visa International, Boeing, Cisco, Symantec and many others.
Connected software provides the following key features:
- Fast, easy, secure and fully automated data protection with Backup/Retrieve: hands-off PC backup and easy file restoration.
- Unique Email Optimiser backup for protecting data contained within Outlook (.pst) files, allowing efficient backup whilst Outlook is running.
- Rapid, anytime/anywhere system rollback due to virus damage, user error, displaced workers, and lost or stolen computers with Heal.
- 128-bit encryption: the industry standard for secure transmission of files encrypts data in transit and in archive - until you restore it on your PC; this ensures complete system state/data protection and full - and immediate - disaster recovery
- Retrieval of backed up files from any web browser anywhere with MyRoam™
Two highly secure data centres
Your data needs to be safe once it is backed up and only highly redundant, reliable and secure data centres will suffice. This is why Backup Direct™ uses two data centres actively mirroring each other. As your data is backed up, it is instantly copied to the second data centre. Each is hardened for physical and logical security with multiple connectivity providers into each one. The result for you is:
- Data is extremely unlikely to be compromised by a freak event
- It is virtually impossible for a human being (outsider) to access protected data
- Under all circumstances your data will be recoverable when and as fast as you need it.
LiveVault technology for Application Servers, Exchange and SQL backup
LiveVault provides real-time protection for Windows servers and scheduled backup for UNIX and Linux servers. Key features include:
- Continuous backup protection with multiple point-in-time versions for recovery so that you can restore your systems up to the time disaster strikes, or within minutes of a corruption.
- Not just yesterday's data -- today's.
- Full system recovery capability by protecting your entire Exchange environment, including Active Directory, operating system, system state, Exchange and the databases. Recovery can be done onto newer or different hardware
- Efficient use of bandwidth by only transmitting the data that changes using only the specified amount of bandwidth, to provide fast and efficient backup and restores.
- Native open file support so all your Exchange data can be backed up while your systems are running, without the use of third party tools.
- Convenient and easy to use interface that provides you with control over your backup and restores from virtually anywhere, anytime.
- Total security with end-to-end 256-bit AES encryption and SSL tunnelling.
- Archiving of historical backups for up to 7 years.
- Disk-to-disk LAN speed recovery with a TurboRestore Appliance for server failures. Overnight shipment of your data to a location of your choice in the event of a site loss.
