Hybrid File Server
Axcient Anchor allows businesses to maintain an on-premise file server for performance and reliability, while also accessing the same files in the cloud
Ransomware Rollback
Axcient Anchor continuously backs up all your files for any point-in-time restore, in the case of accidental deletion or malware.
Security and Compliance
Axcient data and application security is rated highest in the industry, while ensuring compliance audit requirements are met.
Data loss is often fatal. One study showed that 60 percent of small and medium size businesses (SMBs) that lose their data will shut down within six months.
New requirements from cloud, security, and compliance mean SMBs must choose the right business continuity solution. Businesses without cloud recovery can be significantly impacted by natural disasters such as fires and flooding when physical access is not possible. In addition, on premise hardware failures and accidental deletion by employees impact productivity.
Small businesses who invest in security software can never be 100% protected, so it is critical companies have business continuity as a last line of defense to recover data. 43% of cyber-attacks target small businesses and 60% of businesses who are successfully attacked are out of business within six months. For companies operating in regulated industries, compliance and data privacy are becoming more important due to new laws and increased enforcement by federal and state governments. Fines can be significant which wipe out any profits. Data protection is required by most data privacy and security legislation, including HIPAA and GDPR.
BREAK THE CHAINS
Axcient Business Continuity provides the industry’s only chain-free image backup solution, which means there is no backup chain dependency. Most BDR solutions depend on chains where each new scheduled backup is added as a sequential chain after the initial full backup image. In other words, each new recovery point is dependent on the prior recovery point.
Like any physical chain, damage to any chain link compromises the integrity of its entirety. A deletion or corruption of any one of these recovery points makes future recovery points useless. Axcient’s proprietary chain-free technology makes each recovery point independent, verified, and bootable. There are several benefits to going chain free: more efficient use of storage, greater reliability and confidence in every backup even if corruption does occur, and there is never any need to perform time consuming reseeding.
Replibit’s storage efficiency is 30% greater than other BDR solutions which reduces cost. Many BDR solutions recommend time-consuming reseeding annually in case of corruption, with Axcient Business Continuity that is no longer necessary.
CHOICE AND FLEXIBILITY
Axcient is unique in providing our partners the greatest choice and flexibility. MSPs and their SMB clients can BYOD and BYOC. BYOD or “Bring Your Own Device” means Axcient partners can build or repurpose their own hardware for use as a local BDR appliance or purchase a turn-key hardware and software bundle from Axcient. Partners can purchase hardware outright or enroll in the Axcient hardware leasing program.
BYOC or “Bring Your Own Cloud” means Axcient partners can use the Axcient Cloud or provide their own cloud through their own data center or do both to retain multiple offsite copies of critical data. This choice and flexibility give partners the ability to design the best service for their clients to support optimal Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and client Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Depending on SMB client requirements and industry specific use cases, this level of choice and flexibility can be critical for effective data protection.
SECURITY & COMPLIANCE
A vendor is nothing without the health of their security program, cloud and infrastructure. SecurityScorecard, an independent 3rd party, has scored the Axcient ecosystem of applications and the Axcient Cloud at an “A” rating. This makes Axcient the highest scored business continuity solution in the industry. This scoring was attained through thorough testing of ten security risk factors which afford visibility into the cyberhealth of the Axcient ecosystem. These ten risk factors are: network security, DNS health, patching cadence, endpoint security, IP reputation, application security, Cubit score, hacker chatter, information leakage, and social engineering.
The Cubit score is an indicator of a security program’s maturity through implementation of best practices. “Hacker chatter” refers to information on the dark web that speaks to a past or existing compromise. The Axcient security team works around the clock to constantly test and improve both our application and cloud security.
From a maintenance standpoint and a general usability stand point, we definitely prefer Axcient Replibit over our previous solution. We like the product and most importantly, the product works when we need it to.
– Thomas Raad, Owner of Lair Services
Many companies are stuck with first generation BDR technology and haven’t considered modern business continuity solutions. This means they often end up sacrificing capabilities that make the difference when disaster strikes. With chain-free technology, Axcient Replibit eliminates manual processes, guarantees the integrity and restorability of backups, and maximizes availability by minimizing downtime.

RECOVERY AND FAILOVER IN THE EVENT OF A DISASTER
To simplify the ease of recovery and failover in the event of a disaster, Axcient has created Runbooks to orchestrate and automate tasks. A Runbook is a detailed deployment plan for a Virtual Office. Runbooks can be implemented for any number of use cases, such as failing over an environment during an outage, running a short server test, or exercising a disaster recovery test plan. A Runbook can be configured to specify a specific order for starting VMs in the Virtual Office along with the allocation of compute resources for each VM. The Runbook also specifies network settings within the Virtual Office, such as assigning sets of VMs to particular subnets. Once a Runbook is configured and saved, it can be used to stand up an entire Virtual Office with a single click of a button.

Have questions about Backup & Disaster Recovery? We can help
Cloud is now the best practice for greater employee productivity and secure collaboration, but what is the right solution for your clients?
Unlike consumer file sync and share options Axcient Anchor provides file server migration, hybrid on-premise and cloud file services, continuous backup, and compliance for regulated verticals. Axcient Anchor supports all the fundamental requirements you expect for secure cloud collaboration, and more.
Many SMBs default to perceived free consumer grade file sync and share products like OneDrive and Dropbox. However, unfortunately the cost of deploying these “free” solutions can be significant and even catastrophic. Many SMBs need a hybrid on-premise and cloud file server solution for performance workloads. In addition, SMBs must ensure all files are continuously backed up in the case of human error, and more critically in the case of cybersecurity attacks.
Lastly, in regulated industries, these consumer grade solutions are often not an option due to the greater security, audit, and retention requirements organizations must satisfy to avoid fines.

We had convinced our clients to move to the Microsoft platform with the concept of, ‘the service will always be up, data is never going to disappear, and you’re going to be fine.’ But what we didn’t account for was the #1 cause of most problems on any network and that’s the end user. When people delete files and don’t notice until four or five months later, it’s too late to use the normal undelete process available in Office 365.

Deploy in Minutes
Axcient Fusion is true DRaaS.
Unmatched Recovery
Go from catastrophic infrastructure failure to full IT productivity in under 60 minutes.
Reduce Cost
Eliminate hardware, software licensing, and maintenance cost associated with running a VMware disaster recovery site.
Compliance and Security
Use Runbooks to demonstrate Disaster Recovery readiness and compliance.
In managing a VMware environment, the focus should be on providing a robust, high availability environment that ensures applications are always available; not spending time and money hosting and managing a disaster recovery site.
For companies, the capital and operational expense of architecting, building, and hosting a remote disaster recovery site coupled with server acquisition, licensing cost and site monitoring don’t make financial sense. Axcient created Fusion to achieve IT resilience by eliminating the cost and operational overhead of legacy on-premises solutions.
Fusion consolidates and converges the full suite of resilience workloads – disaster recovery, data protection, archiving, long-term retention, and testing and development – into a single cloud platform. With Fusion, businesses can eliminate the need to operate and maintain multiple data centers while achieving greater uptime for their applications and data.
RUE DRAAS OFFERING
Configured and deployed in minutes, Axcient Fusion is a true DRaaS offering for your clients. Utilizing the inherent capabilities of VMware, Axcient provides automated disaster recovery to the cloud. During the service configuration, MSPs can tailor Fusion to meet specific replication requirements. These include the desired recovery point objective (RPO), when to start the initial seed replication, and how much network bandwidth Fusion should consume during and outside business hours.
It is also possible to configure the health status thresholds for protected devices and the Axcient Virtual Manager (AVM). Thresholds dictate when health status changes occur in the Web Management Interface to alert the user that attention is needed.
ENSURE SECURITY, PRIVACY, AND RELIABILITY
When your client loses their local data center, their business is at risk. The difference between being out of operations for an hour, to being down for days can be the difference from in-business to completely out-of-business. Go from catastrophic infrastructure failure to full IT productivity in under 60 minutes with Axcient Fusion.
In a disaster event, the MSP can log into the Fusion Web Management Interface to create a virtual private cloud called a Virtual Office. The Virtual Office is an on-demand replica in the Axcient Cloud of the protected on-premises environment. The Virtual Office ensures security, privacy and reliability for every organization needing to run one or more failover virtual machines in the Axcient Cloud.
REDUCE COST
Fusion from Axcient enables businesses to converge and consolidate critical VMware workloads for IT resilience into a single cloud platform while eliminating the cost and operational overhead of legacy on-premises solutions. Fusion is built with data efficiency and security in mind. Fusion uses an incremental-forever replication topology. For the initial seed replication, an application-consistent snapshot is taken of each VM.
Data deduplication then determines if there are any redundant blocks of data across the virtual machines and optimizes network and cloud storage utilization. For all subsequent replications after the initial seed, only deduplicated, incremental changes are sent to the Axcient Cloud, minimizing the time it takes to update the cloud with new restore points and ensuring desired Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) are met.
SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE
Axcient Fusion makes compliance easier with Runbooks. Runbooks are detailed deployment plans for Virtual Offices. Runbooks can be implemented for any number of use cases, such as failing over an environment during an outage, running a short server test, or exercising a disaster recovery test plan. Exercising a Runbook is the most effective means of demonstrating compliance. A Runbook can be configured to specify a specific order for starting VMs in the Virtual Office along with the allocation of compute resources for each VM.
The Runbook also specifies network settings within the Virtual Office, such as assigning sets of VMs to particular subnets. Once a Runbook is configured and saved, it can be used to stand up an entire Virtual Office with a single click of a button. Axcient is continuously focused on security and only Axcient provides the highest level of security of any competitor with an “A” rating from Security Scorecard, the leader in Cybersecurity ratings by Forrester.
“
A lot of our clients have compliancy requirements. Axcient Fusion provides the tools to ensure that if our clients get audited, they have proof of their disaster recovery testing compliance.
