SonaSafe®
Delivering excellent value
SonaSafe® Point-Click Recovery® is specifically designed for disk-to-disk backup/recovery, high availability, disaster recovery and archiving. SonaSafe® reduces TCO and provides faster ROI compared to tape and other solutions available in the market. SonaSafe® is highly scalable based on customers needs.
One of the key differentiators Sonasoft offers is the integrated backup/recovery, replication and email archiving functionality. The capability is offered as part of a single platform and customers can perform backup/recovery, replication and archiving of multiple servers through a centrally controlled management console.
Different kinds of replication techniques can be used to replicate data between two servers both locally and remotely. In block level, replication is performed by the storage controllers or by mirroring the software. In file-system level (replication of file system changes), the host software performs the replication. In both block and file level replication, it does not matter what type of applications are getting replicated. They are basically application agnostic, but some vendors do offer solutions with some kind of application specificity. But these solutions cannot provide the automation, granularity and other advantages that come with application-specific solution.
With SonaSafe, the replication is very application specific. In the case of Exchange, the replication is done at a mailbox level and in the case of SQL, the standby occurs at a database level. The solution provides total disaster recovery protection and enables reliable business continuity.
