With our extensive experience in the backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity solution areas, we quickly saw the unique value the BCS will deliver to our customers."

Asempra's patented application-aware, file-based, and real-time data protection solution delivers near-zero data loss with guaranteed application and data availability for Windows environments. Using Virtual On-Demand Recovery™ technology, an application's data is available for use within minutes, even seconds, of recovery. The data recovered is guaranteed to be completely usable on the first recovery, eliminating the need for multiple, costly manual recoveries that often result from other technologies and products. With the Business Continuity Server, simple point and click global to granular recovery provides flexibility that ranges from individual objects, such as a single e-mail or file, all the way to a complete data center. Asempra dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of IT data protection by consolidating the needs of business continuity, disaster recovery, e-discovery, recovery management, compliance and governance into a single solution.
