Introducing Ace Data Devices Cloud based Backup

• Hardware Infrastructure is shared – increase of efficiencies and reducing costs

• Unlimited amount of storage that is highly available, secured and inexpensive

• Flexible allocation of storage capacity without limit

At the most basic level, Cloud Backup involves the Backup of your data into Ace Data Devices’s Backup Vault, over Wide Area Network, using standard Internet protocols.

The process of performing Backup to the Cloud:

• Installation of Backup Vault Client(s) according to the client network , number of servers, mix of application, Operating systems and the quantity of data to be managed to one or more work stations.

• Definition of Backup sets (files and databases that are to be backed up, eliminating the Backup of unnecessary data) and Backup Schedule (if different from the system’s default schedule).

• Initial seeding and reduction of the low Internet connections speed limitations – The first Full Backup (seed) is performed at your site where the data is copied on Portable storage device provided by Ace Data Devices, at LAN speed. This copy is then transferred to our Data Center. Afterwards the Incremental Backups can run smoothly via WAN

The process of performing Backup to the Cloud – security path:

ALL Ace Data components communication is encrypted

No open firewall ports Can’t be hacked

Ace Data secures & encrypts the data in-flight & at-rest, from cradle to grave

• From server to DS-Client to DS-System to disk to “On-the-Shelf” archive

• At rest in the DS-System and in the archive

• AES 256 Encryption

• Customers have their own Private and Organizational encryption keys

• Data destroyed based on policy with certificate

of destruction

The process of Cloud Recovery:

1. In case of massive Recoveries – Files that need to be Restored are copied from our Data Centre to a high capacity Portable Storage device and then transferred to your site where the Recovery process occurs at LAN speed.

2. For normal Recoveries – user friendly and simple GUI will guide your administrator through the smooth process of selecting the data that need to be Restored. The process occurs at WAN speed

Software overview:

Security and privacy of your data Our priority No. 1

• AES 256 bit, compliant with SOX HIPPA, Basel II and FIPS 140-2 compliancy standards, Encryption and Decryption of your data

• Your data is encrypted before they leave to the Cloud and after the arrival

• Encryption keys are unique, generated by the Backup Vault Client and stored in the database in encrypted form, so even in case of full access to the Backup Vault Client they cannot be read. This means that eventual modification or loss of the encryption key by your side, will make data stored on the Cloud unusable

• Full 24/7 support from designated Ace Data Devices support team

Backup Policy:

• The Backup policy is unique for every client and it is adjustable for every user, platform and type of data that needs to be Backed up

• There are no limitations regarding the type of data that can be Backed up in our Data center - Databases, Applications Operating systems, transaction logs, MP3 AVI, JPEG files….

• There are no limitations considering the supported platforms that the client wishes to cover with the solution - Desktop Backup, Enterprise servers Backup, laptops, smart phones…

• The frequency of the Backup operations is adjustable in accordance to the client’s needs (once a day, once a week, twice a day every six hours, every hour…)

• There are no limitations regarding the time and number of Backup copies the client wishes to retain on the Cloud. This is part is also customizable and in accordance to the client‘s needs for retaining a suitable number of copies (the last copy, the last 2 or 3 copies..)

Backup Policy:

Example for desktop Backup – Best practice

• First full Backup on site on Portable storage device via LAN which is transferred to Ace Data Devices Data Center

• Next initial Backup – automatically, after 24 hours (by default) via WAN

• Backup operation can be scheduled during normal working time – 09:00 – 17:30 hours (by default)

• At a given moment of time you have:

Daily copy for 7 consecutive working days - 7

Weekly copy for 4 consecutive weeks – 4

Monthly copy for the past month – 1

7+4+1=12 – the total number of copies available for Recovery. The client chooses which one of these copy wants to restore (day, week or month copy) without any time or availability limitations
