Backup as a service

Data Backup and Recovery

LightBound’s backup service is an exclusive single-platform architecture which delivers what you really need: reliable data protection, multiple recovery options and sophisticated data retention capabilities, allowing maximum return on investment. The LightBound Backup and Recovery solution is designed for fast, easy deployment within your existing infrastructure.

 

Backup and recovery is usually about maximizing Returns on Investment. It is a fine balancing act between meeting

data retention needs and recovery objectives, while deriving maximum value from limited infrastructure and resource investments. In the last few years, exponential data growth, newer faster technologies and geographical expansion

have upset this balance and made it extremely difficult and cost prohibitive for IT to continue meeting ever aggressive data management demands.

 

Self-Managing Software

LightBound’s Backup and Recovery solution delivers what you really need: reliable data protection, multiple recovery

options and sophisticated data retention capabilities, allowing maximum return on investment. The LightBound Backup and Recovery solution is designed for fast, easy deployment within your existing infrastructure. Compatible with a wide variety of applications and platforms, LightBound will work with your team to install CommVault agents on machines needing backed up. Connectivity will then be established from those machines to LightBound’s Backup Storage Infrastructure. These deployments provide easy-to-use data protection and retention that supports corporate and federal policies. Because the software is self-managing, there is no need to waste time double-checking backup copies.

 

Configurable

Most other backup offerings start by managing devices. LightBound’s Backup and Recovery solution starts from the data and enables you to define what you need to do with the data, such as how many copies you need, for how long and when to retire it. Then the LightBound Backup and Recovery solution does the work for you—managing the devices transparently to ensure efficient, cost-effective use of storage while preserving simple, one step recovery. Granular, object-level recovery is included so we can find the data, select it and recover. You do not have to start by finding the tapes or scanning jobs, the LightBound Backup and Recovery solution tracks the data location to let you focus on the data.

 

Ensures Completion

Completing backup and recovery jobs is often the key challenge for backup administrators. Typically, much time can be

wasted verifying that jobs have run—and completed—and then diagnosing the network, server or storage problem that

disrupted operations. The LightBound Backup and Recovery solution provides advanced retry and failover resume capabilities that help jobs to complete even when failures occur.

 

Value

In today’s world, information may be the single most valuable asset a business can own. Your intellectual property, sensitive files, and other information must be kept safe. Therefore, you need a data backup partner you can trust – one that provides you with scalable, secure, and powerful resources. With LightBound, that is exactly what you get.

Give us a call and let LightBound help you with your virtualization services, server hosting, off site data backup service, and disaster recovery needs.
