American Megatrends India launches SafeTrends 2.0

Telecom Lead Team:
American Megatrends India, a provider of embedded, storage and telematics
solutions, has launched SafeTrends 2.0.


SafeTrends 2.0 is a
Continuous Data Protection (CDP) software suite for Windows environments
offering protection of digital media. SafeTrends 2.0 is an ideal data backup
solution for SMBs and SOHOs running Windows-based desktops and laptops.


SafeTrends 2.0 is
continually monitoring changes in selected files, and backing them up on one or
more selected locations (local machine, local area network, corporate intranet,
Internet/cloud). SafeTrends 2.0 provides users the flexibility to choose what
data they want to save, and the time and storage location for the same. One can
specify how many versions of a specific file or folder need to be saved.
Consequently, SafeTrends 2.0 features the events log to review the activity and
fine-tune the performance of a particular project.


SafeTrends 2.0 includes data reduction techniques such as
a sliding window data deduplication and data compression to ensure that backup
capacities are optimized. While doing backup over a network, data is encrypted
to ensure safe and quick transmission. Subscribers to cloud storage services
such as Amazon S3 can connect to cloud accounts and use these data stores as a
designated location for SafeTrends 2.0 backup.


This version of SafeTrends features the key technology of
open file backup. Certain files such as MS Outlook mail box stores (.pst) and
SQL Server databases (.mdf/.ldf) are always kept open by their respective
applications and cannot be backed up using traditional mechanisms until the
applications are stopped. SafeTrends 2.0 leverages the power of Microsoft
Virtual Shadow Copy (VSS) technology to schedule and create backups for open
files such as emails and databases which hold vast amounts of business-critical
data.


Users of SafeTrends 2.0 can select Continuous, Trickle,
or Scheduled protection of data. In Continuous Protection mode, SafeTrends 2.0
continuously monitors the files in the user’s configured protection group and
saves them as different versions on one or more selected locations.


In Trickle Protection mode, SafeTrends 2.0 continuously
monitors files in the protection group and saves them as different versions in
a temporary folder on the local disk. Using the time interval specified by the
Trickle configuration, SafeTrends 2.0 transfers the different file versions to
the selected backup locations.


American Megatrends India
plans to market SafeTrends 2.0 through its channel partners across the country.
