Datto Solutions

True Business Continuity

Intelligent Business Continuity

Simply put, being able to restore and recover important business data after a disaster is no longer enough. Intelligent Business Continuity is Datto’s answer to not only ensuring that your data is restored to its former state, but restored quickly, with little to no downtime or interruption to your business.

Datto’s Intelligent Business Continuity solutions enable you to deliver Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) that meet or exceed the acceptable Recovery Point Objective (RPO) levels of your business continuity plan (or SLA commitments to your customers). Datto’s hybrid backup solutions use local devices combined with Datto’s own offsite cloud storage to offer a level of redundancy that gives you peace of mind and gets you up and running virtually, in just seconds. And there’s a solution for every size business from small office to large enterprise.

Instant virtualization, screenshot backup verification, and file level recovery make it easy to recover everything from a single message or document to entire document folders, mailboxes or servers. Incremental backups occur on the local device as frequently as every five minutes and are continuously sent to the cloud to ensure your backup remains up-to-date. All of these continuity functions can be easily managed from Datto’s central web-based interface.


Datto Core Technology

Instant Virtualization

Instant Virtualization

When disaster strikes, every second counts. Taking days to recover information and get computer systems up and running translates into money lost and possibly, the end of your business. With Datto, your company can be up and running in just seconds. With the click of a button, your Datto device recreates your computers and servers so your business can resume as if nothing had ever happened.

Datto SIRIS and Datto SIRIS Lite devices also provide instant off-site virtualization, so in the event that the Datto device is destroyed, you can still access your information, even from a remote location. And once you’re ready to rebuild, Datto provides the support you need to get you back on your feet.

Virtualization Highlights

  • Virtualize multiple machines on a single Datto device
  • Instant off-site virtualization (SIRIS and SIRIS Lite)
  • Public IP’s and VPN access available for off-site virtualization
  • Continuous backup even while machines are virtualized
  • Seamless transition back to physical machine after virtualization
  • Use virtualized servers for testing patches, updates and other system changes

Datto Hardware Devices

To accomplish Intelligent Business Continuity, Datto offers local device backup using four product families; Datto SIRIS, Datto SIRIS Lite, Datto ALTO and Datto G Series, each available with different drive and form factor configurations to make it easy for you to match the right solution to your need. Should storage or feature requirements increase, Datto offers a risk-free upgrade program that allows your solution to scale or grow at the speed of your business.

Datto products are designed and tested in the U.S. Our hardware devices come in a variety of configurations with the latest motherboards, 64-bit multicore CPUs, expandable RAM, dual NIC cards, and redundant power supplies. With a number of storage options, Datto offers the flexibility of several different RAID configurations to balance throughput as well as the amount of data redundancy required. And every Datto unit comes with a comprehensive 3-year hardware warranty to protect your investment.

Datto stands behind our hardware. Before we ship any device it is rigorously tested to meet our stringent, 45+ point quality assurance checklist. Datto’s Hardware Operations Managers perform case inspections, BIOS configurations and software installations, ensuring that every device meets the highest quality standards possible.

The Datto CloudTM

Owned and operated by Datto, the Datto Cloud provides secure data backup of all Datto devices. Data stored on local Datto devices is replicated to Datto’s redundant bi-coastal SSAE16 certified data centers and any failed system can be virtualized instantly off-site. All Datto devices perform continuous encrypted incremental backups to the Datto Cloud. Data is stored in multiple redundant cluster nodes at each data center. Each data center is served by multiple redundant fiber connections to the Internet. Power is supplemented with both battery backup and N+1 diesel generation capabilities. Datto’s data centers use global biometric authentication access methodology to track all authenticated data center personnel and prohibit the entry of any unauthorized persons. The data centers are staffed 24/7 and cannot be accessed by the public. Remote critical facilities management teams monitor, report, and record all access and activity to ensure the most comprehensive security possible.

Remote Web Management

Datto’s advanced management console allows virtualization to be initiated from anywhere in the world. This makes testing and actual failover easy enough that you don’t even have to be on-site. And when an actual catastrophe does occur, you’ll know exactly what to expect and how to respond.


Datto Key Features

Data Security

Data Security

All Datto devices use advanced encryption technology to keep data secure at all times. During both transmit and storage, data is fully encrypted using AES 256 and SSL key-based encryption. This powerful encryption ensures data cannot be accessed. In addition to all information being stored in an encrypted state, data stored in Datto’s off-site data centers is fully protected at all times.

Datto follows strict security protocol and customer data stored off-site is cryptographically inaccessible to Datto employees. Should a device ever be lost or stolen Datto has the ability to remotely wipe all data stored on the device and collect critical information about the location of the device which can be given to law enforcement.

Data Integrity

Built on the rock solid Unix based ZFS based file system, Datto’s systems utilize a file structure generations ahead of others to ensure your data integrity is never compromised. ZFS has built in logic that puts data integrity above everything. Its de-duplication and compression technologies ensure the most efficient means of storing data and the most optimal way to backup data to the cloud. Cutting edge data compression technology reduces the bandwidth required to transfer files off site as well as saving space on the local device.

Custom Data Retention Settings

A flexible retention policy allows you to choose what files you want to delete to make space at any point in time. Since data recovery does not rely on a backup chain, recovery points can be removed at anytime with no affect on the remaining device data.

Quick Data Restoration

When a customer’s local data is lost or destroyed, Datto can recover all data off-site and quickly deliver to the end customer. FTP + SSL access provides continuous secure access anytime to all data stored at Datto’s off-site data centers. If a Bare Metal restore is required, Datto Support can walk through the process.

Unlimited Backup of Servers and Workstations

Datto devices can backup an unlimited number of servers and workstation off-site using Datto’s proprietary backup system. Multiple copies of data off-site ensure that no matter the situation, data is always available and can be recovered in the event of an extended outage or onsite disaster.

Auto Updating

All Datto appliances regularly download and install software updates in the background ensuring that every device is always running the latest version of Datto’s software and benefit from the continual software enhancements.

Broad Operating System Support

Datto devices support the widest array of operating systems of any Backup Disaster Recovery Product on the market. With support for Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 Windows 7, Datto SIRIS and SIRIS Lite products supports almost any windows system in production today. These devices also support backups using Apple TimeMachine and includes support for common Linux installations like RedHat, Cent, Debian and Ubuntu.

Industry Compatibility

Datto’s devices are capable of exporting to powerful, portable, and industry-standard VM formats, including VMDK (VMware) and VHD (Hyper V). This amazing technology means any export from a Datto device can run on systems that support these formats.

Network Friendly

All Datto devices are configured with multiple gigabit network interfaces that are autocrossover. Datto chooses name brand network adapters to ensure high reliability. Each appliance communicates using industry standards like CIFS, NFS, and HTTP SSL ensuring maximum compatibility. Every Datto device comes configured for DHCP, enabling easy setup.
