Asigra’s agentless design makes it far less intrusive than some of the alternatives available, it has been asserted. This information recovery management platform has also been praised by analyst IDC for its ease and smoothness of implementation as well as lack of intrusion into the existing network infrastructure.
The research analyst for IDC, Krista Collins states:
The platform is so designed to make it easy and cost effective for customers to achieve the regulatory compliance and derive greater benefits from the process of virtualisation.
IDC in its analysis adds that currently the rate of information growth is exponential and that traditional backup systems may not be able to accommodate the fast increasing need for storage in the long term.
However, with technology such as Asigra, the analyst claims that growth-oriented businesses, which were previously ‘drowning in data’, could now find that they are able to ‘keep their heads afloat and above water’.
Backup technology experts in a typical environment install a ‘single agentless Asigra Televaulting DS Client’ on a dedicated device, existing workstation or server. The clients’ software can then discover all servers, laptops, domains and remote sites within their network.
