Leading Cloud Backup and Recovery Software Provider Doubles Number of Sites Protected in 14 Months and Surpasses 500 Partner Relationship Landmark
TORONTO – Asigra Inc., a leading cloud backup and recovery software provider, today announced that it has exceeded 100,000 sites currently protected by the Asigra Hybrid Cloud Backup™ platform. This doubles the number of sites protected by Asigra in just over a year’s time, proving that the company continues to extend its leadership position in cloud backup and recovery for both hosted and on-premise environments with technology perfected over more than 20 years. Supporting this growth in deployment, Asigra has reached the 500 partner milestone, highlighting business traction with both channel and technology partners worldwide.
"Asigra's success comes from significantly reducing backup complexity, addressing one of the top complaints companies have about their current data protection solution," said Lauren Whitehouse, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "Combine the strength of Asigra's technology, with the company's approach to delivering that technology through a substantial network of partners, and it's no surprise that Asigra continues to achieve such milestones in the market."
Asigra’s rapidly expanding footprint is supported by a global partnership network to provide robust solutions and ensure customer satisfaction. This year, the company was recognized by IDC as a cloud computing solution provider to watch and was voted Best Vendor Partner for Managed Service Providers by Business Solutions magazine, demonstrating Asigra’s technology leadership and channel empowering business model. Additionally, the company recently launched its Hybrid Partner Program to help partners meet customer demand by providing multiple solution delivery options with pricing levels that scale to meet budgetary requirements. With Asigra, partners select a blend of the most appropriate product/service delivery options for their business.
“The Asigra Cloud Backup Recovery platform has alleviated much of the historical burden of backup solutions companies have used in the past, freeing up their resources to focus on other important IT processes,” said Jim Rutherford, president of CoreVault. “Whereas tape backup was an extremely manual process that often resulted in recovery failures, the move to cloud backup and recovery has ended the risk and excessive time requirements.”
Asigra provides agentless deployment and operation with features that automate the backup and recovery process. The platform has broad interoperability, that supports use in nearly any environment including support for Windows, Linux, Unix, Series i and OSX. Asigra Hybrid Cloud Backup and Recovery software for hosted or on-premise cloud-based backup delivers powerful enterprise-class capabilities. The software supports low-touch restriction-free backup vault and computer system growth with grid-based scalability and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for loss-less recoveries. Furthermore, backup data is de-duplicated, compressed, and encrypted at protected sites prior to transport over the business-class WAN to the backup vault for maximum performance, security and efficiency.
“With Asigra we have effectively redesigned our backup environment to provide faster recovery for greater peace-of-mind,” said Anthony Flores, operations manager at Compliance Poster, a leader in labor law poster compliance services. “Compared to our previous tape-based backup solutions, AllConnected’s XiloCore/Asigra-powered cloud backup solution provides much faster and more reliable data recovery services and is especially effective in our VMware-based virtualized server infrastructure. With the critical nature of business continuity, it is no surprise that thousands of other businesses are taking advantage of Asigra as well.”
“Our technology continues to prove itself in thousands of enterprise environments around the world thanks to more than two decades of successfully providing centralized visibility and command over backup and recovery, and the strong focus we have on partners as an integral part of our business model,” said David Farajun, CEO, Asigra. “We are committed to delivering a best of breed solution that enables customers to protect and restore vital enterprise information that is located throughout all organizational computing systems, providing measurable value in cloud-based backup and recovery.”

Asigra Partners with Hitachi Data Systems to Bring High-Throughput Cloud Backup and Recovery to the Midmarket
Asigra Joins the Hitachi Data Systems Technology Alliance Program
Asigra v9 Hybrid Cloud Backup™ Platform Certified with Hitachi NAS Platform
TORONTO – Asigra Inc., a leading cloud backup and recovery software provider, today announced that it has joined the Hitachi Data Systems Technology Alliance Program. As a Hitachi Data Systems Technical Alliance Program partner, Asigra also announced certification of its Hybrid Cloud Backup™ and Recovery platform with the Hitachi NAS Platform, delivering enterprise-class backup that ingests and stores less and requires minimal management for midmarket organizations. The resulting best-in-class backup and recovery solution overcomes the challenges faced today by users of traditional backup and recovery hardware/software solutions.
Reducing capital and operational costs while optimizing IT environments with high-performance hardware and software solutions remains a high priority among midmarket organizations. Asigra v9 Cloud Backup™ and Recovery software directly addresses cost concerns with an architecture that uses data reducing ingestion and sophisticated global de-duplication to reduce storage under management and increase efficiency. Customers can use Asigra software as part of services provided by a third party or they can purchase and deploy it in their own private cloud. Asigra software provides the flexibility to alternate between these two approaches without requiring reinstallation of the client software.
Hitachi NAS Platform deployed in conjunction with Asigra v9 provides users with a comprehensive backup and recovery solution that eliminates the need for software agents on backup targets to transform data protection. By deploying Hitachi NAS Platform with Asigra v9, users effectively redesign their backup infrastructure with a powerful and efficient backup platform, configurable as a private, public, or hybrid backup cloud to meet both corporate directives and cost requirements.
Asigra v9 integrates smoothly with the Hitachi NAS platform to enhance the value of both platforms. For users with existing or planned virtualized server environments, the joint solution reduces data center space and cooling requirements while simplifying data protection of mixed virtual/physical computing systems with a single powerful backup platform. The Hitachi NAS Platform ensures that mission critical applications continue to run at peak speeds while Asigra’s agentless software operates without draining processing power or memory during backup and recovery operations. With Asigra’s near infinite scalability, Hitachi NAS Platform is perfect for managing growing data volumes without requiring excessive management resources. The joint solution slashes administrative time requirements and costs for protecting information within even the most complex datacenter environments.
“Ensuring data availability via effective backup of data and continuous data protection for applications is of high interest to customers including those with multiple remote locations and a geographically-dispersed workforce,” said Miki Sandorfi, chief strategist, File and Content Services, Hitachi Data Systems. “The Hitachi NAS Platform, combined with Asigra Hybrid Cloud Backup’s integrated continuous data protection capability, provides customers with robust data and application protection.”
Asigra provides agentless deployment and operation with features that automate the backup and recovery process. The platform has broad interoperability that supports use in nearly any environment including Windows, Linux, Unix, Series i and OSX. Asigra v9 software for private and/or public cloud-based backup delivers powerful enterprise-class capabilities regardless of organization size and scope. The software supports low-touch management and restriction-free vault and backup target growth with grid-based scalability and the industry’s broadest support for enterprise applications including Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint and SQL server. With Asigra, backup data is de-duplicated, compressed, and encrypted at protected sites prior to transport over the business-class WAN to the backup vault for maximum performance, security and efficiency.
"As the economy continues to adjust, information growth at midmarket organizations will continue and create data management challenges for IT professionals managing those environments,” said Eran Farajun, executive vice president of Asigra. “To address these challenges, we are proud to partner with companies like Hitachi Data Systems to deliver simple, yet powerful backup solutions that our channels will be successful with and mutual customers will benefit from.”
