* Asempra introduces an enhanced version of its Business Continuity Server
Asempra Technologies this month introduced an enhanced version of its Business Continuity Server (BCS), which adds recovery of SQL databases and ensures that business-critical applications remain online following system failures.
BCS 3.0 is a server recovery product that protects business-critical applications from either local outages or disasters. The company has added the recovery of SQL databases to the product, enabling the recovery of a multi-terabyte SQL database in as little as 30 seconds. BCS 3.0 uses Asempra’s Virtual-On-Demand Recovery technology to allow complete database restoration in the background.
The new product also now improves Recovery Time Objectives by retaining up to six months of historical data, enabling the rollback of applications to a previous consistent state. The company has also improved the management features of the product and added role-based security access control in anticipation of challenges faced in the service provider and cloud computing markets.
Asempra was founded in 2003 by CTO Ciew Sim-Tang, formerly of Acirro, and Dan Fraisal, former CEO, who is no longer with the company. The company, now headed up by Gary Gysin, has over 50 employees and Series B funding of $20 million and Series A funding of $9 million.
