AssuredSnap™ is a component of the Assured Architecture, enabling
partners to solve many of today’s data management challenges facing
IT departments by building complete solutions for business continuance, disaster recovery and regulatory compliance. AssuredSnap
provides the ability to create point-in-time copies or backups of disk
volumes with instant restoration of data to any captured (snapshot)
point in time. Since AssuredSnap only copies data that has changed, it
can virtually eliminate backup windows.
AssuredSnap uses a method called Single Copy-on-Write (SCW) with
Original/Write Data Preservation capabilities. Unlike other snapshot
technologies, the AssuredSnap implementation is not only fast, but it
also reduces the size of snapshots by storing only a single instance of
changed blocks. Original/Write Data Preservation technology is unique
in the market, allowing IT managers to snapshot and write to newly
created snapshot volumes. This enables roll back to the original snapshot or the modied or updated snapshot. This re-roll-back capability is
ideal for testing new software or prototyping new applications.
