INFRASCALE CLOUD FAILOVER APPLIANCE (CFA) - 4550
Fully integrated backup, disaster recovery, and archiving for files and servers.
As the hub of the Infrascale Disaster Recovery solution, CFAs enable push-button failover for servers and VMs – locally or in the cloud – eliminating downtime and data loss when disaster strikes.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Local Disaster Recovery
- Spin up systems directly on the CFA
- Recovered VMs boot-ready, with VNC or RDP access, in minutes
- Powered-off machines can be backed up and recovered to production environments
Failover to the Cloud
- For recovery, choose any version of a machine’s backup to be booted and run directly in the cloud
- VNC or RDP access to help businesses minimize down time
Full & Granular Recovery
- Utilizes universal VSS writer support
- Capable of backing up databases like SQL, SAP, and Exchange
- Supports mailbox level recovery of Exchange Server databases
- Supports file-level recovery
Boot Ready In Minutes
- Industry-leading boot-ready time for failover
- Average recovery time: 2 min
VMware Agentless Backup
- Supports an agentless approach to backing up and recovering VMware environments
DR Playbook Orchestration
- Specify recovery order, group, and set intervals for VM spin up
VMware, Hyper-V, and Physical Machines
- Backup physical machines and recover them to existing hypervisors, or recover VMs as physical machines
- Set policies to auto-protect newly created VMs to save time, money, and reduce risk of down time due to human error
Secure Replication
- CFA replicates backups to the Infrascale cloud or to secondary appliances using byte-level replication for maximum efficiency.
- Replication is secured with AES-256 encryption to protect data against unauthorized access during transfer
Central Deployment and Management
- For environments with greater security needs, backup settings & schedules (+ recovery) can be accessed over the WAN from central management console or may be limited to LAN or VPN access
