Agiliti launches AgileVault data protection service

Agiliti Inc., a US-based IT services provider, has launched a new data protection service, ‘AgileVault’. This is provided on an outsourced basis, as are all Agiliti's managed IT services. Agiliti provides the management software required to perform the backup and restore operations, and the secure disk infrastructure for storage of the data. Backup agents are deployed on each server, and customers can manage backups for dispersed locations from one central management console at their own location. By using a combination of data compression and delta block technologies, any device connected to an IP network can be backed-up.

Unlike traditional software that requires an end-user to review daily log files to confirm that a task was successful, the AgileVault service provides daily e-mail notification of success or failure.

The AgileVault service also provides advantages in data accessibility and speed of recovery. In a typical tape-backup scenario, a customer would start the recovery process by recalling their tape from an off-site storage facility. Providers usually guarantee delivery of the tapes within four hours from receipt of the request, which means the customer can't even start to recover the data for four hours. With the AgileVault service, a customer's off-site stored data is available at the click of a mouse and allows recovery of any file or system to any location - on-demand.
