Datto SIRIS is the only backup and disaster recovery solution to offer instant on-site and off-site virtualization, screenshot verification of backups, and Intelligent Business Continuity all from one simple management interface.
Intelligent Business Continuity – The SIRIS Difference
Datto SIRIS provides intelligent business continuity to eliminate downtime. When your servers go down, Datto SIRIS can get you up and running in seconds with Instant Virtualization.
Datto SIRIS provides companies with an advanced insurance policy against data loss and costly downtime by utilizing a revolutionary technology that dramatically simplifies the backup and recovery process. By employing proprietary Inverse Chain Technology, Datto SIRIS eliminates the inherent inefficiency of the traditional backup chain. Datto SIRIS takes data directly from the server and converts it into virtual machine readable files that can be booted instantly from a web interface or by using any common hypervisor. This innovative way of storing data allows for instant on-site and off-site recovery and can prevent businesses from having to experience downtime in the event of a disaster, offering the peace of mind that backups will be available at a moment’s notice.
Inverse Chain Technology
The Datto SIRIS backup process eliminates the area where most problems arise in the traditional backup process: the backup chain. Datto SIRIS takes data and converts it directly into a virtual machine each time a backup occurs. The most recent backup image is always the base image and does not rely on past incrementals to restore data. Since each backup is a fully bootable virtual machine, there is no need for a conversion to occur before performing a restore. With no complicated rollup or restore processes, data is always available immediately both on-site and off-site.
Instant Virtualization On-Site and Off-Site
In just seconds, backups can be virtualized either locally on the powerful Datto SIRIS device or remotely in Datto’s secure cloud. The advanced web interface allows for configuration of CPU and memory resources. Network resources can be configured dynamically, allowing for changes to be made without restarting the virtual machine. Even if your local Datto SIRIS Hardware is destroyed, Datto SIRIS can provide instant VMs from the cloud ensuring that your business never misses a beat. While virtualized, systems can continue to backup to the Datto SIRIS device and Datto’s secure cloud.
Screenshot Backup Verification
Datto SIRIS leverages instant virtualization capabilities to provide the most advanced method of backup verification in the industry. By taking a screenshot of each completed boot process virtually, Datto SIRIS tests backup integrity and proactively identifies boot-ability issues. Serving as evidence of a successful backup, the screenshot can be shared with end-users to ensure peace of mind that data can be recovered at a moment’s notice. No more checking each individual device in your fleet. A login screen is emailed to you to confirm a successful boot.
Centralized Management
All Datto devices are controlled through an easy to use central web interface. This allows for quick access to critical stats and has detailed remote management ability. The interface allows users to virtualize a failed server on a device that may be hundreds of miles away with just a few clicks. The interface even allows you to gain RDP access to remote servers and VMs through a secure VPN connection.
Advanced Deduplication and Compression
Data sent off-site is compressed even further using LZMA2 compression to ensure maximum efficiency by reducing bandwidth requirements.
eDiscovery Software
eDiscovery gives Datto users the ability to search keywords within their backup data, emails, and attachments and review in an easy to read format. Powered by the industry-leading Kroll On-Track software, Power Controls is compatible with dozens of file formats and systems including Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint (with support for version 2013).
Future Ready
Datto SIRIS devices support the latest standards and are continuously being updated. Every SIRIS device supports software RAID and 2TB+ Volumes including advanced format drives. Datto SIRIS devices also support GPT Partition formats including those using EFI Boot. Datto SIRIS is capable of backing up both physical and virtual systems with nearly any storage configuration. All Datto SIRIS devices regularly download and install updates in the background, ensuring that every device is always running the latest version.
Broad Operating System Support
Datto SIRIS supports a wide array of operating systems including Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and 7, nearly any Windows system still in production today. SIRIS devices are also capable of acting as a TimeCapsule, natively supporting backups from Apple TimeMachine. TimeMachine backups can be safely sent off-site to ensure maximum data integrity.
Better Bare Metal Restore
Datto SIRIS devices use a completely unique method for performing bare metal restores. Rather than use a limited restore environment that fits on a single CD, Datto SIRIS supports network BMR. The Datto SIRIS Device acts as a network boot server allowing the destination system to be booted using PXE Boot (Common on almost all systems newer than 2001). Datto SIRIS also supports restoring to smaller volumes, a feature absent in many competing products.
Domain Friendly
Datto SIRIS devices can even be joined to Windows domains, making it possible for users to access NAS shares using their Active Directory credentials.
