Symform Creates a Hot Copy of Your Data for Fast Restore
Backing up your data in the cloud is great, but what if you can’t recover the data when you actually need it? Downloading the data from the cloud can take hours or days. Symform developed an “Instant Restore” capability to solve this problem. Instant Restore mirrors your data to the cloud for offsite data protection, as well as to a designated Hot Standby device, all via a single data upload. This Hot Standby site can be anywhere–even at multiple locations. Because the data is always in the cloud, the hot standby just acts as another copy in order to facilitate fast restore. If the Hot Standby site is lost, it can be rebuilt from the cloud.
Benefits of Instant Restore:
- You or your IT solution provider host a Hot Standby copy of your data at a secondary location, so that if disaster strikes, you don’t have to wait for data to come down from the cloud.
- Symform monitors your source data and automatically updates any changes to the hot standby data as well as to the cloud.
- When disaster strikes, you can go to the Hot Standby site and initiate the restore instantly.
- The Hot Standby does NOT increase storage contribution requirements.
- You receive end-to-end data encryption and security.
With Instant Restore, Your Data is There When You Need It
Why wait 24 hours or more to have your cloud-based data shipped to you? Symform Instant Restore takes a matter of hours or even minutes to bring you all your data, keeping your business running. Meanwhile, Symform optimizes data transfer and restore from the cloud. The Symform Cloud Storage Network recovers data fragments from 96 different locations at the same time, utilizing the existing internet speed of each connection without throttling bandwidth.
