READYRECOVER INTRODUCTION
ReadyRECOVER is a complete backup and recovery appliance designed for small and midsize businesses. Next-genera-
tion file system technology guarantees data integrity, efficient use of storage capacity and minimal impact to computing
resources. with ReadyRECOVER, full backups are created every 15 minutes and can independently be used to quickly and
reliably restore files, folders or complete systems to any platform, physical or virtual.
Traditional backup solutions create incremental “image chains” and require regular resource-draining full backup jobs to
maintain data integrity and timely restore points. with ReadyRECOVER, each backup is a space-efficient recovery point that
never requires image chain management or consolidation. in addition, each backup captures the entire target system, the
windows operating system, all services, all applications, all settings and all data for fast full system recovery.
ReadyRECOVER is a seamless integration of the ReadydATA unified storage platform from NETGEAR and shadowProtect
backup and recovery software from storageCraft.
BACKUP CHALLENGES
Traditional backup solutions have limitations that restrict the ability to protect business data. more importantly, these lim-
itations hinder the ability to recover data when needed or fail to do so in a timely manner to get business operations back
online. specifically, traditional backup solutions are often unable to:
• send backups offsite where they are safe from disaster
• Protect data at frequent intervals to meet a business’ Recover Point Objective (RPO)
• Restore user data and business applications in a timely manner to meet a business’ Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
• Reduce overall storage costs by compressing and deduplicating data
• Guarantee backup integrity for reliable restoration
• Restore to any platform, Virtual or Physical in the event of a disaster (hardware independent Restore)
