Actifio Protection and Availability Storage (PAS) - Actifio
There are two types of data: production and copy data. Production data is the real-time data created and used by business applications. Copy data is the data created by all the business systems that make a copy of everything in production [backup, snapshot, disaster recovery, business continuity, test and development, analytics, information sharing, compliance].
Current data management requirements call for more modern approaches to managing the data explosion and resulting storage headache. The amount of data produced is increasing exponentially, and “copy data†is increasing even faster, straining IT budgets with the need for storage, processing power, network bandwidth and staff to manage it. Data isn’t adequately protected and outages can take hours or days to recover.
Actifio is radically simple copy data management. Its Protection and Availability Storage (PAS) lets businesses recover anything instantly, for up to 90 percent less. PAS eliminates siloed data protection applications, virtualizing data management to deliver an application-centric, SLA-driven solution that decouples the management of data from storage, network and server infrastructure. Actifio has helped liberate IT organizations and service providers from vendor lock-in and the management challenges associated with exploding data growth. Actifio is headquartered in Waltham, Mass., with offices around the world.

PerspecSys Cloud Data Protection Gateway - PerspecSys
The PerspecSys Cloud Data Protection Gateway eliminates two key cloud adoption barriers: data security & compliance. Many companies want to leverage the cloud but need to protect critical data and adhere to industry & government regulations along the way. Using a patented approach, PerspecSys helps secure sensitive data across multiple cloud applications, maintaining full application functionality and ensuring data privacy and compliance.
How It Works: PerspecSys’s Gateway integrates with an enterprise’s cloud software, such as Salesforce.com. It transparently sits between the cloud application and end-users, intercepting data before it leaves the enterprise and replacing it with a random token or encrypted value that is meaningless unless viewed via the Gateway -- so should anyone hack the data in transit or in the cloud, it remains indecipherable.
Why It’s Different: Other protection solutions simply “mask†data going to the cloud, which has serious usability implications on cloud applications. PerspecSys is unique in its ability to preserve the user’s experience with cloud applications, maintaining things like Searching and Sorting on business data, even when it has been anonymized in the cloud. PerspecSys is the only company that can provide full application functionality with full government-required security compliance.
