There are three primary use cases for InMage: disaster recovery, backup elimination, and application recovery.

For disaster recovery, we support cost-effective configurations that enable recovery from or at remote sites within minutes with minimal data loss. A notable feature of InMage for DR is its very efficient use of WAN bandwidth, due to its use of block-based, asynchronous replication as well as other WAN optimization technologies.

For backup elimination, we move customers away from the notion of backup as a discrete operation that impacts business operations. InMage captures data as it is created, effectively spreading “backup” out across the day so that its impact is not noticeable. We don’t make backup better, we eliminate it, yet provide for very granular recovery capabilities that can meet the most stringent RPO/RTO requirements.

For application recovery, we offer application-aware failover/failback templates that are proven reliable by InMage. These capabilities extend our recovery features beyond just “data”, differentiating us from “backup” products. We enable rapid and reliable data recovery at both the object and full system level directly from disk when that is required, and provide for fully automated application recovery, both remotely and locally, using recovery points generated by InMage, when that is required.
