Continū and Acronis deliver cost effective backup and recovery to the cloud

If disaster strikes, how quickly would you be able to securely recover and access your files and systems without breaking the bank?

For those companies that leverage online backup to protect their data the answer is likely hours if not days which means lost business, angry customers, idle employees and a ruined reputation. Don't let that happen to you.
The Continū/Acronis partnership enables you to get back up to speed easily and within minutes on a highly cost effective basis. The integration between Continū 's Virtual DataCenter and Acronis Backup & Recovery(tm) means that you can restore operations rapidly by securely harnessing the power of an enterprise virtual data-center for the recovery of your production systems and data.
 
What is Continū Cloud Services?
Continū Cloud Services, available in North America, deliver an enterprise virtual datacenter through an amazingly simple and secure self-service portal built on VMware technologies. This enterprise cloud infrastructure empowers you to restore systems in minutes rather than hours or days and allows you to pay simply for consumption of the computing resources you use (i.e. pay as you go). This unique, powerful solution goes beyond cloud hype by providing an easy to use platform for the protection and recovery of data and systems locally and in the cloud.

 
How it Works
The Continū /Acronis solution appeals to the growing number of organizations who leverage online backup to protect data. A simple yet highly cost effective solution, it streamlines the recovery process to a secure cloud computing environment ensuring you have complete control to restore your most critical assets.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 is installed on your production physical and virtual servers and replicates your data and system state over a site to site VPN to an Continū cloud based repository. Once the initial full backup is received only the compressed, de-duplicated changes are replicated to the repository, minimizing the compute, network and storage resources required to protect the environment. By extending the LAN environment via VPN, a single server or a collection of servers can be restored in Continū 's Virtual DataCenter environment with a few clicks providing unprecedented agility during planned or unplanned downtime.
 

Benefits to you

Easy to set up
Offsite copies of your local mission-critical machines are created as standby virtual machines in the Continū Virtual DataCenter using Acronis' user-friendly interface. Your administrator uses an Acronis central management console to back up and recover on virtual machines in the cloud. In addition, if a failure is detected, Auto Generated Disaster Recovery Plans for each protected server are emailed to predetermined recipients, offering an additional layer of comfort to administrators, management and compliance teams.
Flexible
A single solution for data protection and disaster recovery of Windows and Linux physical servers with support for all major hypervisors including ESXi, Hyper-V(tm), and Xen.
Fast recovery
If you suffer partial or full source site failure, you can connect to the Continū cloud, and the affected virtual machines will be recreated with minimal delay. Upon rehabilitation of the source servers, you can easily recover data back to your original source environment.
Easy to test
You can test your DR site in the cloud any time you wish, without having to take your primary site down.
Cost effective
Adding cloud-based recovery to your local disaster recovery plan requires a much smaller investment in resources than that required for a dedicated offsite solution and is therefore much easier to grow. And it makes your IT budget go further by eliminating large capital expenditures (CapEx) for securing data and replacing it with predictable, monthly operational expenditures (OpEx).
High performance
You can achieve the same high performance levels demanded by large enterprises but without a data network upgrade or the need to buy expensive, proprietary hardware. Disk performance of your volumes is monitored by automated tiered storage software that presents the correct type of disk for the volume based on utilization needs.
Maximum security
Continū 's Cloud Services are delivered from highly secure certified datacenters with security throughout the entire stack. Your backup data is replicated onto storage volumes accessible only by you through your vault server. Your data volumes are specific to your vault server and cannot be accessed by other customer organizations.
