Discover the problems associated with traditional agent-based backup, and how an agentless solution can improve data security along with 9 other benefits.

1. Why Agentless
Backup Is More
Secure

2. Why Agentless Backup is More Secure
 Problems with agents for data backup
 How agentless backup improves data security
 9 benefits of agentless backup
Why Agentless Backup 2 Is More Secure

3. Problems with Agents
 Compromised security
 Creates vulnerability in the server architecture
 A port in the firewall must be opened for every agent
 No in-flight encryption
 Increases complexity
 Need to buy additional agents when you add servers, applications
and/or databases to your environment
 Must upgrade all agents each time there is a hot fix or new
version of the agent software
 Undermines the certainty of data recoverability
 Exorbitant licensing fees
 Increasing administrative costs
 Application disruptive
 Creates “agent pollution”
Why Agentless Backup 3 Is More Secure

4. Agentless Backup = Maximum Security
 Agentless architecture provides:
 AES 256-bit in-flight and at-rest data encryption
 Government-approved NIST FIPS 140-2 security certification
 Customer-controlled encryption key and authentication
 Regulatory Compliance (SOX, HIPAA, Basel II)
 Compliant Data Destruction
Why Agentless Backup 4 Is More Secure
 Agentless backup helps organizations:
 Achieve compliance
 Minimize information-loss liabilities
 Establish data recovery confidence

5. 9 Benefits of Agentless Backup
1. Significant cost savings
 Eliminates unnecessary server maintenance and operating costs
2. Simple licensing
 Pay only for compressed storage capacity consumed
 Multi-site license
 Add servers, applications and/or databases on the fly
3. Single consolidated repository
 One piece of software to install, manage and diagnose
 Single pane-of-glass view
 Zero touch silent upgrades
4. Support for private, hybrid and public cloud
 Pick the cloud architecture / deployment model that suits your needs
 Easily migrate as your requirements evolve
Why Agentless Backup 5 Is More Secure

6. 9 Benefits of Agentless Backup
5. WAN/LAN/CPU resource conservation
 Negligible impact on servers, workstations and laptops
 Data reduction technologies minimize the impact on bandwidth and storage resources
6. Elegant scaling
 Easily accommodates new capacity, applications and sites
 Includes integrated load balancing
7. Backup consistency, improved recoverability
 Remote sites can easily implement and maintain consistent backup programs
8. Autonomic healing
 Verifies the logical and physical integrity of the data written to the storage systems
9. Restore Validation
 Ensures data is recoverable by simulating real recoveries
