Actifio Extends Copy Data #Virtualisation Platform With Actifio Sky

Actifio, the copy data virtualisation company, today announced a significant expansion of its product portfolio, dramatically increasing the scope and scale of its enterprise-class data virtualisation platform. The new offering will extend the functionality of Actifio’s copy data solution, making a virtual instance of the company’s Virtual Data Pipeline™ technology available wherever application data may reside, from the data centre core to the public cloud.

The new product will be the first in a new family called “Actifio Sky™and marks a milestone for the company as it moves beyond its integrated appliance-only roots.

“Actifio Sky represents a powerful addition to the Actifio Copy Data platform. Customers will now be able to apply copy data virtualization at remote sites or chose to select data protection via Cloud services.” said Anand Choudha, Managing Director at Spectrami. “Again Actifio has enabled customers to further reduce their overall costs associated with copy data management so they can focus on more strategic aspects of their business.”

Mohammed Suleman, General Manager, Enterprise Objectives adds, “Actifio Sky enables customers to build a data protection and consolidation strategy that has predictable costs and concrete measurable business benefits. Especially branch or remote offices with no IT presence have always been difficult to handle when it comes to storage, backup and removing copy data. This makes Actifio Sky a very attractive proposition for companies that have addressed the problem within their data centers, or head office, but have not  been able to tackle remote sites.”
