IT organizations are being confronted with tremendous growth
and increasingly complex regulatory requirements around the
storage and protection of their data.
With the additional pressures to adapting green computing methodologies and delivering
against stringent service level expectations, the protection of your data can be daunting.
Traditional data protection falls short in today’s environments of complex software, expensive
hardware, and media management headaches. Razor Technology’s Cloud Backup Services
removes those burdens with straight-forward implementations, ease of use, self-service
capability, and secure data from end-to-end, and is ideal for companies of all sizes.

added benefit of unlimited licensing, you only need to pay for de-duped and compressed stored data.
It’s Agentless Based Technology
Because Razor Backup as a Service is agentless based technology, you save time and money by no
longer dedicating resources to time consuming and expensive maintenance. With Razor Backup as a
Service, you do not have to install software on protected application servers, manage agent upgrades,

hardware costs.
It Provides Full Recovery
A backup solution isn't complete unless it can offer the full recovery of your data. With Razor Backup
as a Service, you don't need to pick and choose between what's recoverable and what's not. You can
structure your backup policies to meet the needs of your organization, no matter the extent of your
requirements.

It Provides Autonomic Healing
Step aside and let the platform do the work. Razor Backup as a Service's autonomic healing feature
guarantees data integrity with zero corruption for successful restores. The autonomic healing tool
runs seamlessly in the background, constantly scanning for corrupted or problematic files, including
files with data corruption or logical inconsistencies caused by third-party technologies (such as faulty
RAID controllers, file systems, operating systems, disk subsystems, or network packet loss). As the
tool checks backup files, it automatically corrects file and directory ID duplications without the need
for human intervention. If a problematic file is found that cannot be fixed at the central-site location,
it automatically triggers the software at the client’s site to re-synchronize and re-send any
corrupted files.
It Offers Continuous Data Protection (CDP) Capabilities
Continuous Data Protection pertains to products that track and save data to disk so that information
can be recovered from any point in time, even minutes ago. CDP continuously captures data updates
in real time or near-real time, offering data recovery in seconds while minimizing exposure to data
loss. Better yet, there’s no additional costs to implement.
