Part 3 of a 3-post series
If you haven’t read the first two posts in this series (part 1, part 2) we highly recommend you do so to get a complete picture of best practices for fighting back against ransomware.
We built UDP so you get fast, simple, efficient data protection and orchestrated recovery from ransomware. But UDP has a long list of other features and benefits that further deliver on that promise.
Using a simple, single, web-services-based console, manage your entire Arcserve UDP environment—including node, group, and backup and disaster recovery plan management. Deployment, day-to-day management, and reporting are all made easier with wizards that get you started for each setup process.
UDP’s unified management console manages the entire data protection lifecycle. And it uniquely gives you the capability to create intuitive, workflow-based data protection and availability strategies that form the basis for your organization’s protection and availability plans. Compare that efficiency level to traditional data protection solutions in which admins are forced to protect highly complex environments using disjointed and ever-growing lists of backup, replication, and failover policies—often across multiple products or systems.
Armed with your data protection and availability plans, the UDP unified management console makes it easy to put robust, plan-based data protection policies in place. The UDP management console also gives you detailed reporting and logs and is designed to extend your capabilities with third-party integrations.
Arcserve UDP requires users to input multiple factors to be successfully authenticated. Microsoft and Google say that using MFA can potentially block up to 99.9 percent of automated account-hacking attacks.
Arcserve UDP makes it easy to quickly back up multiple legacy and modern workloads, including integrating agentless host-based backup for Nutanix AHV, vSphere, and Hyper-V host environments. UDP also:
UDP reduces storage consumption and network bottlenecks with source-side global deduplication, encryption, compression, and wide-area network (WAN) optimized replication. Global deduplication gives you recovery point server (RPS) capacity-optimized backups and:
UDP’s instant virtual machine and bare metal recovery (BMR) capabilities can restore your data faster. You also get automated local and remote virtual standby to meet your RPOs and RTOs locally or over a distance. Virtual standby converts your recovery points to virtual machine formats and prepares a snapshot that lets you easily recover your data when needed. This feature delivers high availability and ensures that the virtual machine can take over immediately when the source machine fails. Virtual standby:
The same IT Pro review cited above tested Arcserve UDP’s file and folder recovery capabilities and found that restoring the files to the host or with Exchange Online recovery was a smooth, easy process. The reviewers also say that UDP’s Instant VM feature is excellent for fast system restores through creating on-demand VMs from node recovery points. It only took the reviewers 210 seconds to use the appliance’s Hyper-V services to get a new VM up and running.
With Arcserve UDP, you can integrate hardware snapshots into your existing storage infrastructure. Switching to this backup strategy:
