We know your challenges. 

More data, more remote locations and fewer people to manage it. CoSentry Managed Disk Backup Services helps to alleviate some of the burden on your IT resources with a solution that addresses your greatest challenges—from meeting the restrictions of backup windows and recovery times, to managing media and human resources.

As a leading provider of collocation, managed services, technical help desk and storage solutions, CoSentry has made the necessary investments to support any time, anywhere, to any scale backup and recovery.

So, you’re able to support the entire enterprise—even with the challenges of remote and branch offices, in environments where LAN-attached servers are limited by network
and system constraints, and where bandwidth and backup windows are limited, such as VMware environments.

Best of all, you’re able to do it—quickly, reliably, flexibly and affordably—with CoSentry Managed Disk Backup Services.

Make the transition from tape. 

Many businesses recognize the inefficiencies of tape backup, as well as the costs associated with managing the process. Yet, the alternatives have often been too costly.
CoSentry has altered the fundamental economics of disk versus tape backup—making it more cost-effective and at the same time enabling you to:

• Reduce the amount of backup data transferred and stored

• Simplify remote office backup and eliminate the reliance on non-IT staff

• Protect data with encryption during transfer

• Eliminate the cost of transportation, storage and retrieval

Any window. Any time.

With CoSentry, you’re not limited by backup windows or bandwidth. So, you’re able to set SLAs around backup and recovery—and know that you have the right solution in place to meet them. That’s because our global source-based data de-duplication and single-instance storage technology significantly reduces the daily amount of data transferred. As a result, it speeds backups exponentially. So you’re able to use existing networks to meet short windows for daily, full backups— despite congested or low bandwidth networks, slow servers and other bottlenecks.  Even in remote locations and branch offices, you’re able to standardize and centralize management of backups to ensure data is secure – without additional remote hardware, using existing WAN connections. Back up locally and replicate to CoSentry for storage or to another data center if required.

Address the realities of virtualized environments.

The efficiencies and cost-savings of virtualized environments create their own set of issues for backup and recovery. CoSentry has thought of that with a solution that protects virtual machines by sending only the changed segments of data on a daily basis to reduce the impact on the underlying hardware resources.
This also dramatically increases backup performance and simplifies IT management.

Scalability, high availability and reliability—to any degree.

Utilizing grid architecture, CoSentry enables linear performance increases by adding storage nodes. When additional storage is added, data is automatically load-balanced, without compromising de-duplication efficiency.
Our redundant array of independent nodes (RAIN) technology provides fault tolerance across the storage nodes and eliminates single points of failure.
