Archiware P5 in the Cloud

Archiware has flexible support for a variety of cloud storage services in both the Backup and Archive modules. With the release of Archiware P5 version 6, those wishing to run cloud-based instances of P5 can log in to Amazon Web Services and easily deploy Archiware's Linux-based AMI.

Discover how to use P5 Archive and P5 Backup from the AWS server in our new P5 Solution and learn about deploying P5 on AWS EC2 as central archive server in our Quickstart Guide.

How to Set Up a Cold-Standby P5 Server

Archiware P5 can be configured to run on two separate host computers, such that one is able to take over from the other in the event of a failure. This configuration requires some manual actions in the event of the failure itself. For this reason, our helpful step-by-step guide shows you how to easily set up a cold-standby P5 server solution.

The Simple Way to Back Up Virtual Machines

If there is one thing that is true for any business today, it is the fact that data is the new gold. Business continuity directly depends on data safety, and companies rightfully give the highest priority to data protection and disaster recovery.

However, the widespread use of virtualization technologies has led to an increase in the number of servers that need protection. The traditional approach, where a dedicated backup software is installed on each server, is simply not able to cope with the growing demands for data protection.

How do you resolve this issue? The best way to back up a virtual machine is to use external dedicated backup solutions capable of capturing the whole virtual machine - both its configuration as well as the data it contains - all in one go.

Archiware Pure merges simplicity with functionality for backup of virtual machines in the VMware vSphere environment. Backups are fast, reliable and can be scheduled to fit in with your business. Most importantly, data loss due to human error is eliminated, providing maximum security for your VMs.
