Actifio Introduces StreamSnap Replication to Improve Business Resiliency and Reduce Business RiskBOSTON, Aug. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Actifio, the copy data virtualization company, today announced the availability of StreamSnap, a new replication feature designed to improve business resiliency by dramatically extending the range of supported Recovery Point Objectives, or "RPO's." These lower RPOs – down to an hour – expand the enterprise copy data management use cases supported by Actifio, further accelerating the development of higher quality applications and better protecting enterprise customers against loss. StreamSnap is provided as part of Actifio's comprehensive Copy Data Virtualization platform, and together with the Actifio Resiliency Director product, now delivers the widest range of Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) options in the industry. StreamSnap addresses some of the critical disaster recovery challenges currently facing today's enterprises. For many enterprises, off-site Disaster Recovery (DR) processes for critical applications don't meet business requirements, because IT teams aren't able to recover from as recent a copy of data as necessary, because of infrequent and long backup windows. Longer RPOs increase the risk of revenue or cost impacts from lost data. Additionally recovery time objectives are often missed because the data needed for recovery has to be extracted from a proprietary and deduplicated format, slowing recoveries, i.e. increasing the time a business can't take orders, generate revenue or build products. As an alternative to long recovery times, enterprise IT organizations may be forced to layer additional host- or array-based replication software packages on top of their backup and deduplication investments to meet their RPOs, at notable extra cost and complexity. The Actifio platform, with StreamSnap, now includes a range of capabilities to alleviate these challenges and minimize the impact of production-site downtime or disasters:
"Copy data management is a strategy that continues to gain wider adoption across a range of use cases, including streamlining enterprise backup and disaster recovery (DR)," states Phil Goodwin, Research Director, Storage Systems and Software at IDC. "Many companies are challenged with minimizing their data loss and reducing their recovery point objective (RPO) to keep their business running continuously. Actifio's data virtualization approach is designed to address the need for low RPO with its new StreamSnap replication, but aims to go a step further by leveraging the DR infrastructure to accelerate new application releases with faster data refreshes." "Every major, modern organization in the world today relies heavily on data as the lifeblood of its business," said Ash Ashutosh, CEO and Founder, Actifio. "With the introduction of StreamSnap, we're making it faster, easier and more cost-effective for today's businesses to backup, recover, and use that data whenever and wherever they want. It's giving them piece of mind that their critical data is secure, and allowing them to build better quality applications faster than ever before, delivering real business impact."
