Hyperconverged data protection for hybrid cloud

Issue 4 2021 Infrastructure

Arcserve Southern Africa has announced the Arcserve N Series appliances which deliver integrated hyperscale backup, recovery and ransomware protection to enterprise infrastructures. The Arcserve N Series appliances, built on Arcserve UDP technology, are powered by Nutanix and secured by Sophos. The seamless integration of technologies in a single solution delivers unified data protection, scale and security to hyperconverged infrastructures (HCI), as well as radical simplicity in deployment, management and support.

The Arcserve N Series appliances comprise the Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP), Nutanix Mine platform, which uses the core Nutanix HCI software and Sophos Intercept X Advanced for Servers. Together they seamlessly deliver a powerful, all-in-one solution that extends the benefits of HCI, including scale-out capacity, performance and high availability for data protection environments.

Companies and the Value-Added Resellers (VARs) that supply them can now solve their data centre protection and recovery needs with a single, purpose-built solution that delivers optimum performance while eliminating complexity and cost of management to deliver exceptional ROI.

The Arcserve N Series appliances combine robust security controls, ransomware detection and data protection to ensure complete protection across private cloud, public cloud and SaaS-based workloads. Additionally, they provide a unified management console to manage and provision all backup and disaster recovery services, including physical, virtual and cloud workloads.

The appliances protect physical Windows and Linux hosts, Nutanix AHV, Nutanix Files, VMware and Hyper-V workloads, AWS EC2 and Azure VM from a single user interface. They provide SLA reporting, built-in fully automated non-disruptive recovery testing and support for tiering to disk, tape and cloud storage, as well as cross-hypervisor recovery and flexible licencing.

Features of the integrated solution

• The Nutanix Mine data platform delivers security features such as data-at-rest encryption, a hardened architecture and comprehensive access controls built into the system.

• Cybersecurity that detects known and unknown malware to defend the backup environment.

• True data security to rapidly respond and remove threats, including never-before-seen ransomware and boot-record attacks.

• Data protection across all platforms that safeguards data from external threats, including ransomware, natural disasters, human error or other unplanned outages.

• Deployment automation to eliminate risks during installation and configuration.

• Integration with Nutanix Prism management console for simplified management.

The Arcserve N Series appliances will be available in September worldwide through Arcserve's network of authorised resellers and distributors.
