WHY IT'S BLACKBOX: 

 

IT’S BLACKBOX goes beyond the traditional periodic manual backup and restore of data to reliably guarantee integrated, secure, automatic, and unattended near-continuous data protection, affordably. 

 

Losing data is exactly like a fire at home, everyone believes "It can't happen to me", till fire gutts his house. Only, data loss occurs far more frequently than fire. Many of us seek insurance to protect our existence from the effects of fire, earthquake, disasters, etc. Obviously then, we would welcome any solution that can reliably protect the existence of our business against effects of data loss as well as assure continued operations availability in minimum possible time. As per chronicled reports on the home page of this Web site, even as early as in 1993, data loss wiped companies out of existence. 16 years later, our dependence on computers and digital data has grown manifold and so has our criticality in terms of data protection. 


Organizations know where their business may head in case of irreversible data loss and the financial liabilities they would suffer due to data outage and thus failed Service Level Commitments, lost opportunities and the cost of lost opportunities. However, organizations of all sizes, verticals and budgets struggle with backup and recovery primarily due to explosive information growth. Adding capacity, multiple tape drives, reducing the frequency of backups often work against recovery point objectives and do not indemnify against the complexity of restore such as creating RAID sets, LUNs, Volumes, File Systems, etc. In addition, tapes and DVD backup work slowly and restore takes time. Backup, usually being a highly manual process is inefficient and often inaccurate or incomplete and can only restore data to the point at which taken. In most cases, the time necessary to recover data is unpredictable and at times, it may not be possible to recover data at all because of a single point of failure. Plus, backup and restore does not equal continuous availability. Add to this the risks related to transportation of media and the cost and administration challenges with respect to media refresh, media migration, media obsolescence, etc. and you easily be gasping for an ideal solution to protect your business against data loss and operations breakdown to due data outage.

THE REAL CHALLENGE IS RESTORING OPERATIONS, NOT JUST DATA

IT’S BLACKBOX is not a backup software, nor a backup device; but a complete solution that ensures continuous data protection. Data loss, if any, is minimal, operations are restored within minutes, not hours, days or weeks of outage.
