This document discusses Infinidat's InfiniGuard data protection solution. It summarizes that InfiniGuard leverages Infinidat's high performance InfiniBox storage system to provide fast backup and restore speeds. Typical backup solutions have poor restore performance, but InfiniGuard addresses this issue through the use of its high performance underlying storage. The document also outlines some of InfiniGuard's key features like deduplication, encryption, monitoring and resiliency.

InfiniGuard Background
• InfiniGuard is focused on delivering enterprise data protection without the normal
poor performance of restores
• Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is a critical metric for business today
• Backup is important but the goal is to NEVER use the data
• When it is required, it becomes critical data
• The transition from ‘who cares’ to critical is where current solutions fail
• The dominant purpose built backup appliances do ‘ok’ with backup
• Real world experience for restore is described as being awful
• RTO is either missed or so loose it is not meeting the business needs
• InfiniGuard addresses this prevalent problem

InfiniGuard – Restore Problem Solver
• InfiniGuard leverages InfiniBox technology to achieve RTO expectations
or establish more aggressive goals
• Enterprise customers are no longer willing to accept mediocrity in a
Business Continuity situation – improved RTO is demanded
• Deduplication is wrongly blamed for poor restore performance
• This is broadly accepted as reality and deduplication is wrongly
‘blamed’
• The underlying storage that is at fault
• But what makes us different?
The quality of the underlying storage system matters – even for backup
