Persistent Systems, a player in software product and technology services and provider of rCloud, an innovative cloud-based disaster recovery service, today announced a partnership agreement with Dell, provider of AppAssure data protection software. The agreement brings to market a complete, scalable disaster recovery solution that provides both on-site and cloud-based instant disaster recovery service without needing to rip and replace existing environments.
The integrated offer enables Dell AppAssure users to now leverage rCloud’s cloud-based disaster recovery platform for round-the-clock availability of their services, even in the case of entire site shutdowns. The combined solution complements both companies’ individual offerings, delivering a complete solution to rCloud and AppAssure customers.
“With this partnership, we are able to extend Dell AppAssure’s proven on-site backup and recovery solutions with our powerful cloud based disaster recovery service as a single, robust and easy to implement and fully cloud-enabled business continuity solution,” said Nara Rajagopalan, Chief Product Officer, Persistent Systems, Inc. “Our integrated offering means customers aren’t required to rip and replace their existing infrastructure, they can simply build on top of it – a huge savings in time and money.”
The partnership solution harnesses the power of Dell AppAssure which delivers performance and flexibility for Windows and Linux backups, with flexible replication and recovery options. AppAssure goes beyond backup by establishing a new, highly automated standard for data protection through technologies including TrueScale Architecture for data protection and data deduplication and compression.
“Combining Dell AppAssure’s key software and hardware capabilities with rCloud 4 services from Persistent Systems enables us to deliver intuitive and channel-friendly support for image based backup and disaster recovery services in the cloud today,” said Todd Fredrick, Executive Director – Dell AppAssure.
