Arcserve unveils
offsite back up
and disaster
recovery solution
leading data protection provider,
Arcserve, has announced its
third generation Appliance
Series, the first purpose-built appliances
designed for disaster recovery and
application availability to provide
organisations with an all-in-one option
for on-appliance and offsite backup
and disaster recovery (DR) that can be
deployed in under 15 minutes. Powered
by award-winning Arcserve Unified Data
Protection (UDP) software, the series
bundles flash-accelerated deduplicated
storage, robust server processing and
high-speed networking with highly-
redundant hardware and cloud services
that enable companies to spin up copies
of physical and virtual systems directly
on the appliance and in private or public
clouds. Companies may also leverage
real-time replication with automatic and
push-button failover and failback through
the appliances to protect mission-critical
systems, applications and data. Ensuring
application availability is challenging for
IT teams, as illustrated by Arcserve’s
recent survey which found that only 26%
of IT decision-makers are extremely
confident in their ability to recover. A
survey from IDC also found that 43% of IT
decision-makers plan to move to an on-
premises private cloud and 37% intend to
move to a hosted private cloud over the
next 24 months. Arcserve removes the
‘do it yourself’ complexity of orchestrating
a hybrid strategy for disaster recovery
and application availability.

BEYONDTRUST ANNOUNCES
DEFENDPOINT 5.3 WITH POWER RULES
eyondTrust, a global
leader in privileged
access management, has
announced Defendpoint 5.3 with
Power Rules to help speed decisions
on whether to allow an application
to run, or allow it to run with admin
rights, by automating the integration
of third-party intelligence sources.
B
The first example of Power Rules
integration is with ServiceNow to
automatically submit an IT ticket to
the IT team, so that they can make
an informed and expedited decision
on the user’s request to run an
application, installation, script or
task. Power Rules is a business rules
engine that enables customers to
more easily configure Defendpoint to
their unique business requirements
as well as integrate Defendpoint into
other systems.
Whitelisting and blacklisting rules are
generally straightforward to develop and
enforce, but applications where there
is only limited information available can
introduce risk into an environment if
not properly vetted prior to allowing the
application’s use.
“This enhancement further demonstrates
BeyondTrust leadership in endpoint
privilege management,” said Dan
DeRosa, Chief Product Officer at
BeyondTrust. “Defendpoint 5.3 enables
organisations to reduce risk and
drive greater ROI from their existing
IT investments by leveraging inputs
from third-party systems to help inform
privilege elevation decisions.”
