Asempra joins Microsoft Storage Partner Solution program

Aug 20 -- Asempra Technologies Inc., a provider of data protection and instantaneous application and data availability solutions for Windows environments, has announced that it is an approved developer in Microsoft's Storage Partner Solution program of Microsoft Corp. Asempra is a Microsoft Certified Partner, and is now part of the Microsoft storage partner program that provides a range of benefits for ISVs (independent software vendors), independent hardware vendors, and developers, focused on the storage market, Asempra said last week.

Asempra's patented application-aware, file-based, and real-time data protection solution delivers near-zero data loss with guaranteed application and data availability for Windows environments, Asempra of Sunnyvale, California said. Using Virtual On-Demand Recovery technology, an application's data is available for use within minutes, or even seconds, the company said. The data is guaranteed to be completely usable on the first recovery, ensuring data is never lost and is always available, it said.

With Asempra's Business Continuity Server (BCS), simple point-and-click, global-to-granular recovery provides flexibility that ranges from individual objects, such as a single e-mail or file, to a complete data center, Asempra said. The company reduces the cost and complexity of IT data protection by consolidating the needs of business continuity, disaster recovery, e-discovery, recovery management, compliance and governance into a single solution, the company said.

Asempra's BCS enables application availability and data recovery for Windows-based application data in minutes, even seconds, from any location, at any point-in-time, the company said. Incorporating real-time CDP (Continuous Data Protection), near CDP, snapshot, replication, disk-based backup, and seamless tape backup integration, the BCS provides data protection, disaster recovery, business continuity, recovery management, and compliance and governance support in a single easy-to-use solution, it said. The BCS is integrated with Microsoft Exchange, SQL and File Server platforms, and it allows companies to leverage existing infrastructure and reduce management complexity, while providing near zero data loss, Asempra added.

The BCS has been certified for use with Windows Server 2003 standard and Windows Server 2003 enterprise editions, Asempra said.

Asempra’s BCS provides Windows-centric companies with a data protection solution that provides near-zero data loss and recovery times of seconds and minutes, the company said. As a member of the Storage Partner program, Asempra's BCS provides an offering in the data protection market that addresses the business need for a single solution encompassing disaster recovery, business continuity, recovery management, and compliance and governance support, the company said.
