Autonomy Connected Backup
Connected Backup utilizes advanced data reduction techniques that enable automatic, highly efficient backups without requiring end user action or IT staff involvement. Following an initial full backup, Delta Block technology ensures that only data changes and newly created files are subsequently backed up. With SendOnce technology, identical files located on multiple machines, including e-mail attachments, are recognized and backed up only once. The result is smaller, faster backups – even over dial-up connections – and reduced storage requirements and costs.
Autonomy's Connected Backup solution eliminates the risk of data loss from enterprise desktops and laptops. By automatically backing up data in the background, this solution ensures complete data protection without interrupting users. The Connected Backup solution also provides a secure web portal, through which users can recover data – without IT or help desk intervention.
Autonomy utilizes advanced encryption and other security technology to safeguard enterprise data during transmission, storage, and recovery. Choosing Autonomy for backup and recovery solutions gives enterprises an industry-leading technology partner with a proven track record of successful data protection.
Autonomy's Connected Backup solution uses advanced, patented technologies to reduce the volume of backed-up data up to 85 percent. This decreases the storage necessary for backup and recovery, cuts the time for data transfer, and diminishes the load on enterprise networks. The result is greater cost savings for the enterprise.
Delta Block sends only the changed data in files, saving transmission time and storage requirements. For example, when a document changes, Delta Block only backs up the changes at the block level. This patented technology reduces backup time, minimizes network traffic, decreases the size of stored files, and enables backup even over low-bandwidth connections.
SendOnce eliminates duplicate files by saving each file only once. This patented technology backs up files to a SendOnce pool, preventing identical copies from being stored in multiple user archives. Enterprises avoid the time and expense of storing the same files repeatedly.
Benefits
- Automatic backup: Rapid, non-intrusive backup of data without user action or IT intervention.
- Rapid recovery: Users recover their own data through a secure web portal or perform a system rollback all without IT intervention – anytime, anywhere.
- Patented data reduction and deduplication: significantly reduce costs by cutting storage needs by up to 85 %.
- Secure storage: Data is encrypted at source, in transit and during storage with 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and stored at a high-security off-site facility.
