Below is a depiction of ReadyRECOVER’s technical architecture, which shows holistic, end-to-end integrity.
1) The storageCraft shadowProtect agent reliably tracks changes on the server/PC.
2) it sends changed data to ReadydATA, where the data is immediately “fingerprinted” (checksummed) and redundant
copies (mirror or parity) are written to ReadydATA’s object-based RAid.
3) The shadowProtect agent reads data from ReadydATA. Before the data is given to the agent, ReadydATA confirms that
the data is valid using the fingerprint (checksum). if the checksum proves the data to be valid, it is sent to the agent,
which can trust the validity of the data. if the fingerprint (checksum) shows the data to be invalid, ReadydATA auto-
matically heals the data by using an alternate copy from one of the other disks in the system.
