Remote Site Backup

Remote sites offer many challenges for data protection. These sites typically lack the backup infrastructure and staff to support the data protection processes followed in the central sites. In addition, the cost and availability of high speed wide area networks prohibit remote sites from leveraging centralized backup infrastructure.

New strategies and technologies are now available to make remote site backup more affordable and easier to implement and maintain. Technologies such as data deduplication which can reduce the WAN requirements and replication technology that only sends changed data are only a few of the new technology that can make remote site backup possible.

Dewpoint offers several different solutions to meet your remote site backup needs, no matter the size. We have the tools and resources required to help you design, architect and implement your remote site protection strategy.  Below are two example of possible solutions that Dewpoint offers.

NetApp - Open Systems SnapVault

Extend and enhance your data protection strategy.

Designed to safeguard open storage platforms faster and more cost-effectively, Open Systems SnapVault®, OSSV, is your key to simplifying and extending NetApp® data protection strategies.

Key Points:
•    Improve backup and recovery speeds by up to 92%
•    Minimize capacity needed for data protection
•    Enable cost-effective WAN backups
•    Simplify data protection further with Protection Manager


Open Systems SnapVault leverages the block-level incremental backup technology found in SnapVault to protect Windows®, Linux®, UNIX®, and VMware® systems running on mixed storage. OSSV increases performance and enables more frequent data protection by moving and creating backups from changed data blocks, not entire changed files. And since only changed blocks are stored, less capacity is needed.

For distributed organizations, this strategy of transmitting small amounts of data not only makes disk-based backup cost-effective for remote offices; it also provides the option of backing up directly to a core data center for centralized management of data protection.

These are just two different methods of handling remote office backup and recovery. Dewpoint has the tools and resources to work with your organization to assist you in creating a solution that best fits your needs.
