Data Protection Units    

The DPU/DPV series is a complete family of innovative, integrated disk-to-disk (D2D) appliances that affordably protect and restore critical data and systems.  Units are available to provide protection to everything from a small operation all the way up to a large enterprise.  And with our unique Lifetime Upgrade program, your investment is protected as your operation grows.  If you want to archive to removeable disk - we do that!  Archive to tape - we do that as well!
Archive electronically to a remote unit (vaulting) - we do that!  We even offer Vault to Cloud where your valuable data is archived to a remotely hosted data storage facility.

Rapid recovery solutions provides unmatched protection through a single, powerful user interface for systems, applications and data running on over 40 operating systems. With solutions for local backup and off-site vaulting, the DPU family eliminates the need for multi-vendor software and hardware by delivering the reliable, affordable data protection small and mid-sized businesses need.

Local Protection

At the heart of the system is the local Data Protection Unit™, or DPU.  It connects to your LAN, and provide disk-to-disk (D2D), high-speed data backup and disaster recovery.  Snapshots of your servers' operating systems, complete with passwords, permissions and settings, are routinely taken at user-defined intervals (without the need to first shut down the servers) and sent to the DPU.  This allows near-instantaneous recovery of deleted or corrupted files and folders…and more.

BareMetal™Recovery

These fast, integrated appliances also provide BareMetal™ restoration of entire failed servers, putting your mission-critical systems back in business in as little as an hour instead of several days.  (BareMetal provides sector/track level data protection that avoids the need to format drives, load OSs and reinstall applications. It can also recover a failed system to new hardware that may not match the original system configuration—often necessary in a true disaster.)

Application Support

Today, many core business applications have unique backup requirements that must be addressed to get reliable and consistent backups, and optimal recovery options. Each DPU includes application-specific backup technology with support for Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL servers and other applications.

Adaptive Deduplication

Data protection units offer Adaptive Deduplication.  Adaptive deduplication is a hybrid data reduction technology that combines inline compression with post-processing data deduplication. The major differentiating feature of Adaptive Deduplication is that it does not require expensive dedicated hardware; it operates on affordable backup appliances.

Vault to Cloud

Enterprise-level cloud backup capabilities at an insanely aggressive price. We didn't sign up for some backup software with Amazon, Microsoft, or any of the myriad other commodity cloud storage solutions; instead we invested in an "enterprise level" solution.  For more information, please click here

iseReduced data reduction

iseReduced is our advanced compression technology that typically provides from 2-to-1 to 4-to-1 and greater data reduction with absolutely no ingest rate performance penalties and with no overhead on the computers which are being protected. iseReduced works by taking the data stream from the computer being protected and creating large segments of data upon which compression is invoked. Since compression is more efficient on larger blocks of data, we achieve a higher compression ratio than others.

iseReduced Details

iseReduced is a variable byte-by-byte compression scheme that has a storage overhead of 0.03% plus 6-bytes per stream.  This practically works out to 5 bytes per 16KB block.  It can be used on any size file; practically you’ll get compression rates after a few tens of bytes.

The theoretical compression limit is 1032:1.  The actual compression is dependent upon data and file size.

Incrypt Data Encryption

The threat of misappropriated data has never been greater. At the same time, conventional encryption takes a heavy toll on the performance and ease-of-use of your information technology infrastructure. Incrypt offers a solution for regulatory compliance as well as internal corporate standards that does not cause a burden on systems or people. Incrypt performs 256-bit AES encryption on the on-premise appliance rather than on the computers being protected. Any rotational archiving or electronic vaulting of that data stays encrypted.

Whether the threat is as simple as employee physical theft or as complex as targeted hacking of your systems, Incrypt has you covered.

Proactive monitoring

Problems Handled Before the Customer Sees Them!

Proactive monitoring is a service that allows us to detect early signs of hardware, system, and environmental issues with respect to backup and disaster recovery.  This service is offered at no cost and is available for all support levels.

This proactive monitoring service works by sending us an event alert from a customer’s environment via our backup appliance. Then, we categorize, monitor, and manage these events using SolarWinds Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) solution. Critical events are flagged and a customer engineer is notified and a case is opened. The customer engineer then calls the customer and begins work on resolving the issue.

A Complete Solution

Removable disks allow archiving at a nearby safe location.  And our family of Data Protection Vaults™ fill out the picture with electronic, medialess, offsite vaulting for all your data and systems.  If you prefer not to operate your own remote protection facility, we also offer our "Vault to Cloud" service, a cloud-based optional off-premise disaster recovery service that complements the data protection of the on-premise appliances for our customers who want disaster recovery but do not want to own and operate their own dedicated off-premise vaulting appliances. For only $0.49 per GigaByte per month. you can choose to have your vital data electronically duplicated at a secure SAS 70 certified facility.

We offer features that allow our customers to take advantage of quickly getting their on-premise appliances protected off-site and that allow those customers to quickly recover their data in the case of a disaster via next-day shipping with a “reduplicated” replacement appliance.

Together, it’s a fully integrated data protection and disaster recovery system—powerful, easy to use, and affordable.  Enterprise-class protection for the rest of us.

Our backup appliances aren't for people who are bored and need something to do!

Our backup appliances are designed from the ground-up to provide the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry.

If you have too much time on your hands and are interested in "playing around" with hardware, software, storage, networks, and the like - and you're not worried about calling a backup and recovery vendor when you have a problem that points fingers at the operating system vendor who points fingers at the application server vendor who points fingers at the storage vendor who points fingers...well, you get the point - then we aren't for you.

If on the other hand you'd rather do other things than babysit backup and recovery all day (and all night) - then we think we have the best backup appliance offering there is.
