Infrascale Platform - The All In One Backup Solution That Makes Your Life Easier!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We utilize an Infrascale Platform device at our main location for VMWare server backups - as well as a cloud-managed device for off-site backup replication. Infrascale Platform makes it VERY easy to take backups at the VMWare level so that you don't have to deal with backing up within a Windows-Based environment.
Pros
- Backing Up At The Virtualization-Level of a server environment
- Email notifications built-in, allowing you to know when backups have failed - or if there's a firmware update available for the box
- Backup Replication to off-site hosted appliance
- Customer service is ALWAYS immediately responsive. Never have to wait more than an hour to hear back once a ticket is submitted
Cons
- Honestly, none come to mind. We've been very happy with their service and support provided.
Likelihood to Recommend
The Infrascale Platform solution we have in place is certainly not cheap - I believe we are paying about $2800/month for it, though it is quite robust. We have 18TB of on-site storage available, with the same available in a secondary - remote - device for replication. They do have a wide range of products available to any size business though, so I'm sure they have cheaper offerings as well. The on-site appliance is fantastic - in that in houses your backups, but can also be utilized as an emergency piece of hardware to spin up a backup and run it in the event of your primary hardware failing. You can also traverse full backups to grab single, contained, files if you so choose. We love that feature as we must perform file recovery monthly for audit purposes.
