What customers say “Virtual infrastructures are vulnerable and inclined to considerable data losses, unless it is secured with reliable backup technologies. Therefore, we decided to develop a VM backup tool, which will be fully compatible with our SAN software and reveal their data protection potential. With its multi-featured engine, ArCycle DR Platform emerged as the most suitable technology for our requirements" Anton Kolomeytsev, CTO, StarWind Software What’s inside? • Agentless backup architecture This valuable benefit eliminates the necessity to install a backup agent on every host or VM considerably reducing the installation and maintenance time. • Ultimate simplicity ArCycle DR Platform is designed to be simple to integrate, install, and use. An intuitive interface, wizard-driven procedures ensure a flat learning curve and simplify the routine of VM data protection and management. • Scheduled backup and replication Possibility to set up backup and replication procedures will minimize administrating overhead and the possibility of human error. Fast ArCycle technology makes the backup operations fit in the shortest backup window. • Support of hypervisor native formats By default, ArCycle saves archives in the native VMware and Hyper-V formats. This enables you to process VMDK and VHD files using your custom solution, as well as makes the archives transparent for any software that supports these formats. • Backup on heterogeneous virtual platforms ArCycle can be deployed in a mixed hypervisor environment. Backup server enables you to control and manage both VMware and Hyper-V infrastructures as well as perform all the operations from the same window. DR Platfrm components 1) Installer database 2) DR Platform complete API documentation 3) DR Platform core API libraries in C and C++ 4) Sample codes and developer tools 5) Open architecture + plug-ins • Open architecture + plug-ins ArCycle puts no proprietary constraints on its architecture and allows potential integrators to see inside the code. It is possible to easily substitute any of ArCycle built-in plug-ins: for example, you can develop your custom network plug-in with your own encryption, protocol, and compression. • Up-to-date technology ArCycle DR Platform provides the most innovative technologies bringing the VM data protection to the next level and delivering all the necessary tools to your potential customers.

Feature and Capability Benefits and Results Backup and restore ArCycle provides full, incremental, and simultaneous VM backup as well as VM restore features. Backup procedures can be scheduled to reduce manual interference. About ArCycle Since 2011, ArCycle Software has been a global leader in the development of the specialized backup and data protection software for virtualized environments. The company provides commercial and free end-user backup and replication solutions as well as a software development kit for OEM. Learn more by visiting: www.arcycle.com Sandbox, Cloning, and Autotesting Sandbox allows the launching of a VM from an archive in an emulated virtual environment to test its recoverability. Cloning enables the duplication of a VM with the same OS, configuration, and applications to shorten the time for creation of a new virtual machine. Autotesting is initiated automatically by the system in order to verify the validity of the created archives. Sandbox, Cloning, and Autotesting Replication and Scheduling Replicas can be created once, periodically with replica overwrite, and periodically based on the defined number of snapshots. The feature provides an unlimited number of roll-back points for VM data restore in case of a failure. Scheduling automates replication procedures and allows the setting of an initial time of creation of replica, periodicity of replication, and number of snapshots to be kept by the system. VM management Enables a user to start, remove, pause, and stop virtual machines.
