IT Guardian™ Services
Unprecedented data growth is challenging companies of all sizes, placing increasing pressure on their backup and recovery initiatives. With mounting pressure to comply with regulatory requirements and improve disaster recovery practices, companies are experiencing dissatisfaction with traditional backup methods that are falling short regarding efficiency, reliability, and ease of use. An ever expanding network of central, remote and branch offices further confounds the situation. The need to deliver against strict service level expectations, while managing costs, turns information recovery management into a complex challenge for organizations of all sizes.
With over 15 years experience and backed by the leading cloud-based backup platform, TeraCenter understands the challenge. We've deployed an agentless architecture in order to deliver the most intelligent, elegant, yet easy to implement and simple to use solution with the most robust feature set on the market.
TeraCenter's solution is comprised of two major components: the DS-Client ( installed at the edge of the cloud or client premise) where data needs to be protected; and the DS-Systems (located at TeraCenter's data vaulting location, the core of the cloud) where the protected data resides. This scalable model enables TeraCenter to support distributed backup loads, multiple operating systems, servers, databases, applications, and storage environments. While these features were developed with the storage needs of large business and enterprises in mind, our pay-as-you-grow licensing model-which is based on the amount of compressed and deduplicated data stored-makes the solution well suited to SMBs too.
The Agentless Advantage
Agentless data protection doesn't just match the capabilities of agent-based technology- it exceeds it. And it does so by no small margin. Like agents, TeraCenter's IT Guardian protects all files (visible and invisible), databases, email systems and mailboxes, all standard UNIX (including Mac OS X), Linux, Windows, even System I operating systems. And it does all this by working remotely through the operating systems' and application APIs. This agentless architecture assures that you experience no operating system and application disruption or downtime for implementation or upgrades; no security risk because of an open agent port that can be hacked; no server cycles being wasted for agent software. While at the same time you enjoy flexible RPO, including CDP, with incomparably fast and flexible recovery.
TeraCenter's IT Guardian services include agentless backup and recovery support for all leading applications and Operating Systems:

The Bottom Line
- Significant Savings - Even if agents from traditional backup and recovery vendors were free, TeraCenter's solution would still enable huge reductions in operating expenses.
- Simple licensing - Simply pay for volume! No license fees, no additional agents, no tracking, no overspending on site licenses- you only pay for compressed and deduplicated capacity consumed.
- One piece of software to install, manage, upgrade - TeraCenter's solution even self-upgrades, so there is no time consuming and administrative-resource-draining pushing of agents or updates out to hundreds or thousands of remote site systems.
- WAN/LAN/CPU resource conservation - TeraCenter's solution runs with negligible impact on servers, workstations, and laptops, eliminating the CPU-cycle hits associated with agent-based solutions.
- Robust, hardcoded security - There are no agents to open hacker-tempting ports in the firewall.
- Elegant scaling - While agent-based solutions compound complexity in rapid-growth environments, this agentless backup/recovery solution easily accommodates new capacity, new applications, and new sites.
