aCelera Sync

aCelera Sync is a virtual appliance specifically tailored for optimizing and accelerating network backup and replication environments. aCelera Sync helps reduce the amount of time taken for a replication to complete, therefore allowing more replications to be performed in a day, all while saving WAN bandwidth. As part of a disaster recovery plan, aCelera Sync allows the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) to be smaller so less data is at risk.

Multiple versions of aCelera Sync are available supporting the industry’s three leading virtualization hypervisors:

  • VMware ESX / ESXi
  • Microsoft Hyper-V
  • Citrix XENServer

While network backup or replication products may perform differencing and sending only changed files or changed blocks, aCelera Sync works at a much more granular level providing significant data reduction even in these environments. The aCelera Sync virtual appliance is deployed at both ends of a WAN link and not only overcomes bandwidth limitations through compression and data de-duplication but also overcomes network latency issues through TCP and protocol optimization, such as for iSCSI. The aCelera Sync can also be deployed utilizing the same SAN that is being replicated as its data store.

aCelera Sync supports most SANs and leading network backup and replication solutions including, but not limted to:

  • CA XOSoft
  • CommVault
  • Dell Complellent
  • Dell EqualLogic
  • Double-Take
  • EMC Celerra Replicator
  • Replicate More Frequently – aCelera Sync allows backups and replications to complete in a fraction of the time they would have otherwise taken. Reduce the replication time by up to 95%
  • Reduce RPO – As backups and replications can be performed more frequently less data is at risk as the Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) is minimized
  • Fast Recovery – With aCelera Sync your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) can be reduced from hours to minutes
  • Save Cost – Maximize the utilization of existing WAN links, reduce bandwidth costs and avoid WAN link upgrades. Up to 90% reduction in bandwidth usage
  • Future Proof – aCelera grows with your needs. Expand capacity with a license key, no box swaps
  • Software – Deploy aCelera remotely anywhere in the world in less than 30 minutes
  • Cost Effective – Leverage existing servers and storage. No proprietary hardware appliances to manage or keep spares for
