AppAssure Transforms Backup Industry With Innovative, Ground-Breaking Technologies
Reston, VA (PRWEB) October 27, 2011
AppAssure Software, the global leader and award-winning developer of unified backup and replication software for virtual, physical and cloud environments, announced today the introduction of its Live Recovery?, Assured Recovery? and Universal Recovery? technologies.
Highlights of these latest innovations in data protection and disaster recovery are:
?Live Recovery? technology: Instant restore for virtual and physical servers, offering near-zero downtime and allowing users to work in real-time during a full restore.
?Assured Recovery? technology: Automatic testing and verification for recoverability of every backup on any virtual or physical machine.
?Universal Recovery? technology: Cross-platform restore of data volumes from anywhere to anywhere, physical to virtual, virtual to virtual, virtual to physical or physical to physical (P2V, V2V, V2P, P2P) including bare metal recovery to dissimilar hardware. Also includes granular object-level recovery with application-item and file-level restore.
With Live Recovery technology, server administrators and cloud service providers can restore an entire application server with a recovery time objective (RTO) of seconds and recovery point objective (RPO) of only a few minutes for minimal data loss. Only with Live Recovery technology do users have full access instantly to their mission-critical applications and data during an actual total server recovery, without waiting hours or days until the volume is fully restored. According to David Wertz, President of PC Works Plus, Inc., a managed service provider, ?Recently we recovered a failed Exchange server on which we had AppAssure, and from the time it failed to when the client was back up and running was less than one hour. Creating the virtual image took 45 minutes and then in 15 minutes, we got the virtual machine fully running.?
IT staff and cloud service providers have had to regularly perform backup and recovery drills by manually testing the recoverability of the backups of their critical applications. However this was an expensive and labor-intensive process that did not always guarantee optimal results. Now they can use Assured Recovery technology that automates a recovery verification procedure and ensures that every backup file is recoverable. They can be assured that their backups will be recoverable, whether on virtual or physical servers, every time immediately following each backup snapshot, as often as every 5 minutes. ?The ability for AppAssure to automatically test and verify our SQL database backup is terrific,? said Michael Pratt, the Director of the Office of Information Technology at the University of West Alabama. ?This is a huge benefit due to our small staff and the fact that AppAssure is making it easy for us by automating the process of verifying the recoverability of each backup is unbelievable!?
Universal Recovery?s cross-platform recovery, with granular recovery capability, mitigates the many risks when users accidentally delete important emails or when scripts incorrectly update records. Now IT administrators can restore a full backup to any virtual machine (VM) or to dissimilar hardware in a matter of minutes, and also be able to instantly recover any granular application-items, files or message-level objects quickly from within a backup archive. Herb Thornton, Brundage Bone?s Network Administrator, said, ?A server would not start up at one of our remote locations but with AppAssure I was able to start up a virtualized image of the server within 20 minutes and then performed a bare-metal restore to another server.?
?After listening to our customers and partners for years, we have developed truly innovative technologies for virtual, physical and cloud environments to ensure that customers can recover instantly and be sure that their backups are recoverable,? said Najaf Husain, AppAssure?s President and CEO. ?The launch of these technologies fortifies AppAssure?s reputation as an industry pioneer and extends our lead in the backup and recovery industry.?

Creating One Language to Speak about Light- and Energy-Based Technologies for Aesthetic Procedures
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 17, 2011
?No downtime.? ?Moderate redness.? ?Minimal bruising.? When it comes to the many light- and energy-based devices used for aesthetic procedures from hair removal to body contouring, what do these claims really mean? Lacking a standard terminology that truly captures aesthetic concepts, plastic surgeons, patients, and device marketers may be talking about very different things even when using the same words to describe the outcomes of cosmetic procedures that employ energy- and light-based tools.
To promote a more fair, standardized, and impartial discourse about these devices, the Light- and Energy-Based Therapies Subcommittee of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) has begun to more precisely define standard terms and develop recommendations for device manufacturers?such as the use of standardized lighting, patient positioning and labeling for before and after images?to help physicians and patients better evaluate the different technologies. This initiative is discussed in ?Back to Basics: Understanding the Terminology Associated With Light- and Energy-Based Technology,? an editorial available online ahead of print in the November 2011 issue of Aesthetic Surgery Journal.
?Our goal is to facilitate a baseline for communication about light- and energy-based technologies in the aesthetic realm,? said Michael I. Kulick, MD, Chair of the Light- and Energy-Based Therapies Subcommittee. ?We hope that manufacturers will begin to incorporate the subcommittee?s definitions and recommendations into their collateral and marketing efforts, which we believe will help facilitate acceptance of their respective devices and allow physicians to more readily understand their claims.?
The Subcommittee has developed standard definitions for some of the most common terms used in marketing light- and energy-based devices for aesthetic procedures, particularly terms used to describe the recovery process. For example, the definitions describe how to define the different degrees of swelling, bruising, and pain, from ?essentially none? to ?significant.? Other terms will be added to the list as the Subcommittee moves forward to develop a full and comprehensive nomenclature.
?It?s important that everyone clearly understands definitions when talking about the outcomes of energy- and light-based aesthetic procedures, whether you are a patient, physician or device manufacturer,? said Foad Nahai, MD, Editor-in-Chief of Aesthetic Surgery Journal. ?The burden to sort through all of the competing claims currently rests on the physicians. This initiative will help patients and physicians realistically understand the claims associated with the many different devices in this growing field, and allow plastic surgeons to make more informed decisions about incorporating new devices into their practices.?
About ASAPS
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), is recognized as the world?s leading organization devoted entirely to aesthetic plastic surgery and cosmetic medicine of the face and body. ASAPS is comprised of over 2,600 Plastic Surgeons; active members are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (USA) or by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and have extensive training in the complete spectrum of surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures.
