Actiphy Inc. Unveils the Latest Version of ActiveImage Protector’s System and Data Protection Solution, a Proven Countermeasure that Safeguards Backup Files from Ransomware

Tokyo, Japan, Sep 7, 2023 – Actiphy Inc., a prominent provider of backup, disaster recovery, and virtualization software, proudly announces the release of their updated version of “ActiveImage Protector 2022”. This latest release introduces innovative features that substantially reduce backup times while improving backup data security. 

Background

Companies today are constantly threatened by the looming menace of ransomware attacks. This pervasive threat compels them to divert resources to bolster security measures and instills a sense of apprehension and uncertainty. In an actual attack, the consequences are much more severe and include data loss, financial damages, and disrupted business operations.

Implementing efficient disaster recovery and protective countermeasures is paramount, and with a strategic backup strategy (that includes StorageServer), another layer of security is added that protects the backup image files from being compromised by a ransomware attack.

This updated version with the StorageServer option is available in both Windows and Linux.

What’s New in ActiveImage Protector 2022 Update
– StorageServer Option

“Actiphy StorageServer” , a newly developed product in the ActiveImage Protector Solution Suite, has adopted an advanced protocol that not only secures data transfer but also safeguards that data in storage.
Additionally, Actiphy’s StorageServer has been engineered to take advantage of cache devices to increase performance during data transfer thereby substantially reducing backup time.
StorageServer in effect, achieves increased data security and provides faster data transfers than the traditional Windows-shared folders or NAS based storage.

– New Tracking Driver with no Reboot Required

Our newly developed tracking driver eliminates the need for a reboot after installation or upgrading, enabling users to install or upgrade ActiveImage Protector with no service interruptions.

– QuickRecovery

Use QuickRecovery, a pre-prepared recovery environment to undo recent changes that have caused system instability due to a software or OS update. Select a specific restore point from the backup that was created prior to the current state of the system for an immediate recovery.

– Recovery Media Maker

Create bootable recovery media with the backup source machine’s image embedded for an ideal disaster recovery (DR) solution should the backup destination become inaccessible. This feature accommodates various media, including DVD/Blu-ray, USB HDD, and USB Memory. One button click from the booted media will initiate recovery from the embedded image file.

– Support for VMware First Class Disk (FCD)

Direct backup and recovery of VMware’s FCD formatted disks.

ActiveImage Protector 2022 is a backup and recovery solution that protects physical and virtual Windows and Linux environments. ActiveImage Protector includes all the tools necessary for enterprise-level deployment and management of backup, recovery, virtualization, standby switch-over, and migration.

Update Released For ActiveImage Protector™ 2022

Wildomar, CA — Actiphy Inc., a leading publisher of backup, disaster recovery, and virtualization software announces an release update of ActiveImage Protector 2022, that places an emphasis on minimizing Recovery Time Objectives (RTO).

Background

Businesses are required to prepare and implement disaster recovery, and business continuity plans. Natural disasters have become more impactful, and as global uncertainty increases, the threats of cyber-attacks are becoming more common. Corporate systems are becoming exposed and exploited. When disaster strikes, RTO is the most important benchmark for defining the quantity of time allowed for a system, app, or a process to be down and recovered before effecting significant damage to the business.

Reduce RTO using Actiphy’s HyperRecovery LIVE!™ to boot up a system from a backup image as a VM in a cloud or on-premise hypervisor and recover it simultaneously. With In-Cloud Standby™, keep an up-to-date instance of the system ready to start up and succeed the failed system.

Updated Features

  • HyperRecovery LIVE!
    Directly boot a virtual machine from a backup while migrating the virtual machine to a restored target, eliminating a separate restore process.

  • In-Cloud Standby
    Maintains the most current backup images as bootable standby machines in the cloud ready to succeed a failed system.

  • In-Cloud Recovery from On-premise or In-Cloud Storages
    Supports recovery of sources on cloud-bridged virtual networks (VLAN) and SFTP resources outside the cloud, or access cloud storage from outside the cloud environment.

  • RescueBoot and Remote Maintenance
    RescueBoot boots into Windows RE mode to perform cold backups, system recovery, or to remotely perform maintenance or diagnostics from the operating system.

  • File Backup Enhancements
    Newly added, exclusion of specific files or folders and supports the backup of Network Shared Folders.

  • Enhanced LTO Tape Management
    With newly enhanced management of LTO tape pools and libraries, tapes can now be moved within the library to be isolated from potential ransomware attacks.

ActiveImage Protector 2022 is a backup and recovery solution that protects physical and virtual, Windows and Linux environments. ActiveImage Protector includes all the tools necessary for enterprise-level deployment and management of backup, recovery, standby switch-over, and migration.

Monitor all clients’ backups in the Cloud

14.06.2021 Nyon – Actiphy is simplifying the monitoring of backup jobs with a new online portal designed mainly for IT Resellers and Managed Service Providers. Actiphy Portal Service (APS) has been specially designed with IT Channel Partners in mind, to monitor clients’ backup infrastructure and generate reports from a single location on the web. It is a free!

Actiphy Portal Service is a powerful cloud-based help for IT Partners’ daily management of backup tasks. This tool is free of charge and does not require users from switching to more expensive backup licences, as other backup and DR competitors often require.

Service Providers who already use ServerEYE, Solarwind (Acmeo), PRTG Pässler or others to monitor their systems, should continue to use their Remote Monitoring and Management tools as they inspect all areas outside of backup. Should technicians wish to know more details about backup tasks, they can get more information with the APS console. A perfect synergy!

The missing piece for IT Resellers and MSPs.

The existing local console is taken to the Cloud with APS and IT Partners no longer need to use VPN connections to monitor all their clients.

APS completes the Business Continuity offering of Actiphy. It is the perfect addition to the latest free adds-on from Actiphy: automated backup testing (creation, consistency, and backup file bootability) as backup isolation which protects backup files from being encrypted by ransomware once they have been created. With the additional APS Cloud-based portal, SMBs are offered a complete Business Continuity solution at a very affordable price. SMBs have all the tools to protect their data and assets in this post-pandemic time.

IT Channel partners who do not yet use a Remote Monitoring and Management tool to centrally monitor backups of all their clients now have a free option to do so with Actiphy Portal Service.

How to get Actiphy Portal Service?

Register to Actiphy Portal Service beta programme on the following link: https://landings.actiphy.eu/en/missing-piece     

No specific system requirements are needed to use Actiphy Portal Service and all ActiveImage Protector agentless and agent-based clients with a direct https internet access to the cloud-based portal location can be monitored.

What can you already do with Actiphy Portal Service?

  • – Dashboard: General information about the status of agents and storage, and any problems that may have been detected in the past 7 days.
  • – Sites: Create a site to group agents for reporting purposes. The portal was designed with MSP resellers in mind, each site can represent a physical location of agents to be managed, or a company.
  • – Users: Create, remove or temporarily disable users. The current beta version only supports creating users of the type “Admin”.
  • – Licencing: general state of agent licenses and get an overview of license status.
Actiphy Portal Service dashboard

What is the future of Actiphy Portal Service?

The full version will be released after having taken into considerations all feedback received during beta-testing.

Once the full version is release, the Japanese head-quarter of Actiphy plans to continue developing APS and to make it more of a management console in the future, with installing, upgrading, and configuring everything from the Cloud. Exciting time ahead!
