24 22 Dell Data Protection provides up to a 120% improvement in replicating virtual machines to the cloud. In cloud environments using Amazon EC2, Dell AppAssure 5 can save you time and bandwidth. This is done by protecting your current running instances and also replicating the backups from one region/zone to a separate region/zone for additional recoverability and availability. For example, a 300GB server over a 100mbps link would take 7 hours 9 minutes to replicate. With AppAssure that would be 75GB (~75% reduction) and would only take approximately 1 hour 47 minutes to replicate.

25 23 5 min. Dell Data Protection updates virtual standbys of your critical machines every 5 minutes to the cloud. Using an AppAssure Core in the cloud allows you to convert your mission critical machines to virtual standby every time a snapshot is taken.
