Enterprises today significantly reply upon the corporate data stored on the PCs. Prevalence of multimedia content, thousands of emails and attachments, proliferation and preservation of many versions and copies of data contributes to the tremendous data growth most companies are experiencing.
More than 80% of this PC data is common within organizations. For data generated by conventional office applications, where many of the file characteristics are very similar, the potential for reduction is very high.
With
inSync you can greatly reduce the risks and costs of data loss and minimize recovery time for distributed PCs and laptops. Druvaa inSync PC backup solution uses advanced
distributed data de-duplication technology called -
"SendUnique" to reduce the volume of backed-up data up to 90 percent. This decreases the time, bandwidth and storage needed for backup and recovery. This results in significant time and cost savings for the enterprise.
SendUnique eliminates duplicate data by backing up data common betweens users only once. Before backing up a file, Druvaa inSync client prepares a small linear polynomial based fingerprint of each file to be backed up and sends it to the server.
The server maintains already backed up data and fingerprints in proprietary
Single Instance File System (SIFS). The server compares the new fingerprint against SIFS and requests the client to only send the unique content. The client in the end compresses, encrypts and sends the content to the server. This enables byte level data de-duplication, ensuring fast and bandwidth/storage efficient backups.
SIFS is an encrypted, object based file-system which stores the unique file chunks and fingerprints for every backup as a function of time. Each time the user requests a restore, the server uses SIFS to show a timeline based view of backed up data. This allows the user to restore from any point in the past.
