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”

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
Agentless Backup = Maximum Security
Agentless backup helps organizations: Achieve compliance Minimize information-loss liabilities Establish data recovery confidence

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

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
