Asigra says it offers a unique pricing model that enables IT organizations to cost-effectively manage backup across the WAN. This eliminates the data protection, performance, scalability and high license costs normally attached to conventional tape-based backup software and agent-based licenses.

The traditional tape backup model was designed to protect information inside a data center, says Asigra, but proves to be costly with agent-based licensing costs. Asigra says it provides IT managers significantly lower operational costs with improved end-user service levels.

Using a capacity-based licensing model, Asigra eliminates the fees and management costs involved in installing and managing agents, drastically cutting the cost of enterprise backup. Asigra Televaulting provides backup and recovery for distributed data as a utility service within an enterprise, and includes all the functions, budgetary controls, chargeback billing system, features and tools required.
