Terremark’s onsite backup appliance encrypts and deduplicates your data before securely transmitting for offsite storage. Onboard storage allows for 95% of restores to occur locally, at LAN speeds. Further redundancy is available with a secondary vault, and cost efficiencies can be realized by leveraging lower tier archival storage for historical data.

Tape-based backup solutions have a failure rate of 40 to 50 percent due to a combination of media reliability, system throughput and simple human error. Terremark's onsite-offsite solution is 100 percent disk-based with a success rate in excess of 99 percent. We use RAID 5 storage with self-healing functionality that eliminates data storage errors by cross-checking links, headers and files. The system leverages sophisticated deduplication and delta-blocking features to minimize the amount of data written to disk, greatly increasing efficiency and reliability. Data validation functions ensure 100% data restorability.

Agentless backup is first performed to an onsite appliance, where the data is deduplicated and encrypted at standards up to AES-256. This onsite encryption means unencrypted data never leaves your facility, allowing for compliance with regulations such as HIPAA and PCI DSS. Post encryption, the data is transmitted to remote storage vaults at one of Terremark’s highly secure datacenters, maximizing security and minimizing WAN traffic.

Terremark Backup & Restore supports a wide range of operating systems as well as leading file, mail and database server platforms. Microsoft Exchange Server is supported with full agentless information store backup and restore as well as Message Level Restore that allows self-service restoration of individual emails,  folders and contacts. Database servers including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and DB2 are backed up “hot” without affecting end users. Databases are backed up via application programming interfaces (APIs) without accessing the underlying files directly, avoiding issues with open or locked files. At no time does the database have to be taken offline.

For customers seeking additional redundancy, Terremark can replicate offsite data from the primary Terremark datacenter to a second facility. Additionally, an archival tier is available to offload historical data to cost-efficient long-term storage. Simply put, Terremark’s Backup & Restore is a complete data management solution – secure, reliable and highly available.
Solutions are available for corporate datacenters, regional offices, mobile/remote users and Terremark colocation customers. Contact us today to take the pain out of backup.
