DirectRestore, a Delaware LLC, provides a series of tools that enable granular recovery of files, objects, databases and applications. Its technology is leveraged by tens of thousands of customers including several major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
DirectRestore–s granular recovery technology allows organizations to restore individual items from popular applications such as SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange database backups and replications. This technology is a unique capability that currently only a few vendors have built.
Although the Axcient solution already had the capability of protecting MS Exchange and SQL databases, the combination of DirectRestore–s unique technology with Axcient–s award-winning solution now provides customers with an even better product that allows for faster recovery, more granular recovery options and reduced storage footprint.
Axcient customers have access to this latest technology improvement at no charge. Granular application recovery is a core part of the Axcient solution and part of Axcient–s unique all-inclusive pricing model.
In addition, the DirectRestore acquisition expands Axcient–s research and development team by 30 percent — adding a team of experts in granular application recovery that will enable the expansion of Axcient–s RaaS platform to support broader recovery capabilities.
