Persistent Systems Ltd.

Persistent Systems, the global leader in software product and technology services and provider of rCloud, an innovative cloud-based disaster recovery service, has entered into partnership agreement with Dell, provider of AppAssure data protection software. The agreement brings to market a complete, scalable disaster recovery solution that provides both on-site and cloud-based instant disaster recovery service without needing to rip and replace existing environments.

The integrated offer enables Dell AppAssure users to now leverage rCloud's cloud-based disaster recovery platform for round-the-clock availability of their services, even in the case of entire site shutdowns. The combined solution complements both companies' individual offerings, delivering a complete solution to rCloud and AppAssure customers.

The partnership solution harnesses the power of Dell AppAssure which delivers performance and flexibility for Windows and Linux backups, with flexible replication and recovery options. AppAssure goes beyond backup by establishing a new, highly automated standard for data protection through technologies including TrueScale Architecture for data protection and data deduplication and compression.

Persistent Systems' rCloud 4 Universal Architecture with Instant Restore supports upload of changes to the system in a secure and proprietary format. Once received at the rCloud data center, backups are immediately written as virtual disks that can be booted instantly in the secure rCloud recovery environment for instant and easy recovery.
