Datto, a backup and disaster recovery provider, is now offering Siris, a data backup product that can virtualize off-site.
According to Datto, Siris offers complete end-to-end business continuity. By eliminating the image chain in the backup process, Datto devices take information directly from the server to virtual machines.
The company also claims that Datto’s process of inverse chain technology prevents the risk of file damage because the base image is always the newest file. This is different from traditional backup where computers must rely on older files to restore newer ones. Datto’s new technology ensures that the full image is always at the front of the backup chain, and does not rely on past files for recovery.
Siris is also the only backup device in the channel that offers instant off-site virtualization. This feature provides rapid restoration, even in the event of a complete facility loss, by allowing companies to completely fail-over to the cloud.
Siris offers a full spectrum of features that will enable Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Value Added Resellers (VARs) to bring this solution to companies of various sizes. Siris provides †insight into the backup process by providing screenshots of each backup image. Siris also implements other benefits such as data deduplication, instant local virtualization, quick setup, and a web interface that is managed over the internet. The user has the ability to test virtual machines at any time.
