High Availability and Performance



Eliminate risk of outages

Our goal is to provide you with a reliable online backup service, which you can offer to your customers. BackupAgent’s architecture and design to accomplish this is aimed to keep the backup system in operation at all times. With this approach, BackupAgent clearly distinguishes itself from other backup software platforms. BackupAgent believes that an online backup provider cannot be in business with a platform that runs the risk of outages in which case a lengthy and tedious recovery and renewed setup of systems is required.

Other vendors tend to sell such scenarios referring to it as replication or ‘backup of backup’. Although data replication of the backup is highly recommended it should not be accounted for as being ‘ideal’. BackupAgent’s vision on this subject is that data redundancy is very important and should preferably be delivered on storage platform level if possible. In this way redundant data storage or data replication does not stand in the way of backup performance or scalability.

Load balanced (or clustered) environment

BackupAgent can be hosted in a load balanced (or clustered) environment. You can install the BackupAgent Server Software on two or more servers, which will share the complete infrastructure. With this option you can offer high availability of the online backup services to your customers and partners. This availability can reach 99.999% due to the fact that you can eliminate all single points of failure.

Most scalable solution

BackupAgent is by far the most scalable and flexible software solution for hosting online backup services. BackupAgent Provider allows you to upscale or outscale bandwidth, processor power, memory, database capacity and storage capacity independently. Next to that you can host up to 1000 users on a single server, due to the fact that BackupAgent optimizes the performance power of ASP.Net.
