Application Support

The challenge to ensuring application data protection is to provide it without impairing application performance. Additionally, avoiding strategies that create another set of challenges for the application to manage.

AIMstor's ability to provide real time backup with de-duplication enables it to provide Recovery Point Objectives with viable long term retention for key applications such as:

Microsoft SQL, MS Exchange, Oracle, Microsoft Sharepoint.

Features and Benefits

Unified Backup and DR

Combining Functions and Data Flow

By Implementing a simple policy that combines Backup with Replication for SQL, the image below the AIMstor User Interface with a data-flow that unifies the data flow into a single-data movement from the SQL primary system, with Backups and/or CDP going to the Repository, for easy restore to any point in time, and the same data instantly transferred to the SQL replication node (in this case, 2 duplicate replication nodes),

Real-time Replication, Repository Restore, Local Snapshot DR

A failure at the production site would simply require a failover to the replication node acting as a standby server. If it is determined that a crash-consistent restore is needed, the AIMstor Repository can provide the needed Restore Point Objective for best consistency and granularity, down to the last minute if needed.

One Application, Triple Insurance

For immediate recovery to a standby server in seconds, simply use AIMstor to manage local snapshots on the Replicated standby server. The standby server remains in full synch with the primary server, but if system wide corruption occurs, the standby server can be brought up in seconds with its most recent local snapshot.
