Continuous Data Protection“CDP is a methodology that continuously captures or tracks data modifications and stores changes independent of the primary data, enabling recovery from any point in the past. CDP systems may be block-, file- or application-based and can provide fine granularities of restorable objects to highly variable recovery points.” (Source: SNIA DMF CDP SIG working definition, April 2005) Continuous Data Protection (CDP) represents a major breakthrough in data protection. Historically, data protection solutions have focused on periodically backing up data. These traditional backups are plagued with unmanageable backup windows, no protection of open files and databases, and heavy impact to production systems. These issues are major obstacles when protecting servers and mobile computers that are critical to daily business functions. Atempo’s CDP technology transcends traditional methods and offers a solution that breaks through these barriers. Atempo offers CDP solutions for both Windows PCs and Exchange data. Atempo’s LiveBackup is a CDP product for Windows desktops and laptops. The software offers an advanced solution for workstation data protection that ensures reliable security. Atempo’s CDP solutions continuously capture all data, including any modifications, from the moment it is created. The software expands traditional backup concepts, offering protection to open files and databases without backup windows. Atempo LiveBackup offers more flexible Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and faster Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) than the traditional data protection solutions that were designed to create, manage and store single-point-in-time copies of data. Atempo’s CDP technology captures and protects all data changes, not just at select, pre-determined points. This provides access to data at any time, reducing data loss and eliminating downtime. Data retrieval is fast, reliable and granular.
