FilesX - NEXT-GENERATION DATA PROTECTION AND RECOVERY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

Mission Critical Application Protection

Mission Critical Applications are what keep companies alive, creating and maintaining competitive advantage, increasing productivity and supporting the overall performance of the organization. Mission Critical Applications are the force behind business advancement.

How important is the protection of these critical applications to your business? It's simply as important as "To be or not to be!"

FilesX is revolutionizing the protection of Mission Critical Applications. Our solution is adaptive to any IT environment - offering any combination of Continuous, Frequent and Scheduled approaches to data protection based on the application or data profile - while supporting the immediate and granular recovery of any data asset.

Our solution provides programmable data retention policies to help you meet corporate governance mandates. And our ability to improve the utilization of your scarce IT resources (network, storage and servers) reduces total cost of ownership (TCO).
Xpress RestoreŽ CDP for Mission Critical Applications is a proven technology.
The FilesX Xpress Restore CD software solution is based on our unique CDP On-DemandTM technology. Behind this concept is the flexibility to adapt to changing business needs. Not all data is created equally and therefore should not be managed equally, and Xpress Restore addresses all of the protection scenarios required by your organization - continuous forever, frequent in time intervals and scheduled - all are possible with a click of a button.

Xpress Restore uses block-level snapshot technology to copy new and changed data in a non-disruptive manner, eliminating the need to close files and shut down applications in order to accomplish data protection tasks. This allows organizations to achieve 24-hour operation of their critical systems, an absolute necessity in today's global e-business economy.

Even more important is the way application recovery is conducted by Xpress Restore. Whether you need to recover a single lost e-mail message (Exchange) or a corrupted SQL/Oracle table, a file folder or a complete volume, or to perform BMR (Bare Metal Restore) to recover a system disk, all are available in this unique technology with instant restore and immediate access to application data.

The FilesX Xpress Restore solution for Mission Critical Applications is redefining the shape of protection and recovery. Based on Disk-to-Disk (D2D) technologies, innovative software and a pure block-level architecture, IT resources (network bandwidth, storage and servers) are far better utilized. FilesX' Xpress Restore therefore offers a quick return on investment (ROI) and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

Remote Office Protection

The protection and recovery of data in distributed locations, such as remote or branch offices, is one of the most pressing challenges for enterprise IT. Regulators, shareholders, customers and partners don't make a distinction between your central and distributed data - losing or compromising the security of any data is a very big problem. Just ask the CEOs of any of the dozens of large companies that have had to disclose data loss incidents in the past few years.
One of the biggest problems associated with remote data protection is the continuing reliance on tape-based backup solutions. Most organizations report backup or restore failure rates of more than 50% in their remote offices. While the tape systems themselves are typically reliable, the manual processes of loading, unloading, labeling and transporting tapes - and the people who execute these processes - are not reliable at all. And the physical movement of tapes to off-site vaults for disaster recovery have opened the doors (the back doors of trucks, apparently) to serious security risks.
The bottom line: If you don't have experienced IT personnel in your branch offices (and who does?) you shouldn't be using tape to protect and secure your distributed data assets. And if you want to get a copy of your remote data off-site, it should be moved over a secure electronic connection.
The FilesX Xpress RestoreŽ CDP solution for Remote Office Protection enables global multi-site enterprises to fully automate and centralize the management of all their distributed backup and recovery processes. Xpress Restore helps companies completely eliminate the use of tape in their remote offices, and therefore eliminate the enormous operational costs of associated with remote tape backup and restore.
Xpress Restore was built from the ground up to to cover all protection and recovery aspects of the Enterprise and its branch offices including:

A local disk-based protection and recovery solution for mission-critical applications for each site.

Non-disruptive to remote applications; no need to shut down; no more "backup windows".

Fast, granular recovery of any data entity including individual files, folders, or entire volumes; database tables; e-mail messages, contacts, calendars or mailboxes; or entire systems through Bare Metal Restore (BMR). Recovery can be user-initiated or done by a central administrator.

Through our integrated Xpress MountTM interface, users can Recover AnywhereTM over the Internet or WAN, to any location for complete/flexible Disaster and Operational Recovery.

Backup consolidation, via replication of the local Xpress Restoe repository, over the Internet or WAN to create a centrally-managed disk backup repository in the main data center.

Central monitoring and management console dashboard.

Seamless integration with popular tape backup applications for centralized, long-term archiving of remote data in the main data center.

Support for regulatory compliance initiatives associated with data protection and retention.

Simple, non-disruptive protection process allows more data to remain online longer, improving operational efficiency and reducing data management overhead.
FilesX' CDP On-DemandTM technology is redefining the shape of mission-critical data protection and recovery. By applying application-specific protection policies, eliminating operational costs and utilizing existing infrastructure, at the main data center and at each branch, FilesX offers a quick return on investment (ROI).
