ASEMPRA TEAMS WITH RIVERBED TO PROTECT, SPEED RECOVERY OF WINDOWS APPLICATIONS, DATA OVER A WAN
Offering delivers data protection, recovery at up to 20 times the network efficiency of competing solutions
Santa Clara, Calif. (August 12, 2008) –
Asempra Technologies, the leading provider of instant
recovery solutions for Windows applications and data, today announced that it has joined the
Riverbed® Technology Alliance (RTA) Program as an Elite Partner. RTA Partners are
complementary technology companies that share a common vision of accelerating application
performance, simplifying network management and infrastructure, reducing backup time frames,
and delivering significant savings over the wide area network (WAN). The program incorporates
sales training, joint marketing, and testing and certification of products.
Riverbed Technology is the leader in wide-area data services (WDS). Customers of Riverbed can
speed the transfer of data over the WAN by up to 100X, enabling them to supercharge Asempra
Business Continuity Server™ (BCS) to ensure that Microsoft Exchange, SQL and Windows files
can be recovered in seconds or minutes across the WAN following an outage. Asempra's
solution provides mid-sized companies with 24x7 access to critical applications and data, while
reducing capital expenses for data protection and recovery and eliminating data loss and
corruption. When used with the Riverbed Steelhead® appliances, the combined solution enables
faster, more affordable disaster recovery and consolidation of regular backups to one data center.
Riverbed and Asempra deliver unmatched speed in protecting and recovering applications and
data. The combined solution delivers data protection and recovery at up to 20 times the
performance of competing offerings, keeping bandwidth utilization to a minimum so other
services on the network are not adversely affected. The Riverbed Steelhead appliance, for
example, accelerates the initial upload of Exchange, SQL and Windows file data sets to the
Asempra BCS, and ensures instantaneous recovery across the WAN. The combination of
solutions from Asempra and Riverbed is an ideal way for mid-sized companies to protect
secondary locations that may have slow network connections, and reduce the costs associated
with backup software licenses, hardware and tapes.
"We have seen a lot of interest lately from mid-market companies looking for an effective
recovery solution for their local and remote offices while keeping network costs down," said Scott
Mellegaard, Director of Data Center Solutions at Scottsdale, AZ-based 3RP, a provider of
enterprise resource planning (ERP). "There is a real synergy in the complementary technologies
from Riverbed and Asempra. By combining Asempra's ability to protect both local and remote
systems together with Riverbed WDS, companies can achieve true disaster recovery without any
need to change their current network infrastructure. And with Asempra and Riverbed certifying
compatibility, users don't need to worry about the availability of business-critical applications and
data."
"We are pleased to partner with Riverbed and become an Elite member of the RTA program,"
said Mike Morando, Vice President of Business Development at Asempra. "Together we've
developed a superior way for mid-sized companies with multiple locations to meet the
requirements for instant recovery of Windows applications and data."
Asempra and Riverbed will present a one-hour eSeminar, "When Outages Strike: Faster Recovery
for Windows Applications and Data," August 14 at 9 a.m. PDT. Participants will learn about the
challenges in protecting and restoring Exchange, SQL, and Windows file server, and how to use
Asempra's Business Continuity Server in conjunction with Riverbed Steelhead appliances for a
fast, economical, and easy-to-deploy solution. For additional information, or to register online,
