What Powers UltraVault™?
UltraVault™ is based on R1Soft’s CDP product (more information at www.r1soft.com). It runs across our own private fibre network, to our offsite disaster recovery (DR) facility. Your data is backed up to our highly resilient Vault servers, which have fast RAID50 storage.
Private Vault servers are available upon request.
Key Benefits of UltraVault™ Managed Backup
Bare-Metal Disaster Recovery
Bare-Metal Disaster Recovery: Restore servers directly from disk-based backup. Unlike traditional backup software, there is NO need to first partition your drive and install the operating system.
High Performance
Sector based backups increase throughput and reduce overhead. Servers can be fully operational with minimal performance impact during backups. Backups can usually be performed at anytime, even on busy servers.
Small Backup Windows
Only changed disk sectors are copied between backups. Incremental backups can now be completed in minutes.
Open File Backups
UltraVault™ is a total solution including built-in support for backing up open files. NO 3rd party software is required.
Snapshots
Our technology provides consistent point-in-time system-wide backup images.
Near Continuous Data Protection
During normal host operation, the UltraVault™ keeps a journal of disk changes. Incremental backups know what sectors on the disk have changed before the backup operation even starts. This eliminates the need for file-by-file or block-by-block comparisons every backup.
Remote Administration
Software can be completely controlled off-site using a web-based interface.
Compression
Incremental sector based backups ignore unused portions of the disk and copy only the disk sectors that have changed since the last backup. This when used with traditional compression, reduces backup storage by as much as 90% when compared to a traditional system wide, file-by-file backup.
End-to-end strong encryption
Data is continuously encrypted while in storage and during network transmission using RSA keys. Decryption during a restore is only possible when the encryption key holder enters their pass phrase.
Data Integrity
During backup and restore data is verified using MD5 checksums.
Service Pricing
We’ve priced UltraVault™ competitively to encourage our customers to take advantage of the solution.
