Actifio to deliver access, agility, and control over data with AWS Marketplace

Actifio Sky for AWS now available in AWS Marketplace.

Johannesburg, 24 Jul 2015

Actifio, the copy data virtualisation company, today announced the expansion of its revolutionary enterprise-class data management technology to customer workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Actifio Sky for AWS is now available as a listing in AWS Marketplace making it easier for customers to dramatically improve their data access, agility, and control by running Actifio's award-winning Virtual Data Pipeline technology on the AWS Cloud.

Actifio pioneered copy data virtualisation, decoupling business data from business infrastructure in much the same way hypervisors decouple compute from physical servers. Customers using Actifio are able to:

* Capture production application data at the block level, as it changes.
* Manage that data as a single "golden master," updated incrementally forever.
* Use an unlimited number of point-in-time, virtual copies - available instantly, on demand - across a full range of data management use cases.

Actifio replaces the siloed systems customers typically use to protect and access copies of production data, helping them accelerate recovery time objectives and time-to-market for new applications. Customers also save money on third-party software licences and unnecessary infrastructure sprawl, in addition to radically simplifying operations through the consolidation of multiple point tools into a single, easy-to-use data management platform.

"Today's agreement with AWS puts Actifio just a few clicks away from a whole new segment of enterprise customers, who can now tap the transformative power of our copy data virtualisation technology for workloads running on the AWS Cloud," says Actifio CEO and Founder Ash Ashutosh. "Large scale enterprise customers are already using Actifio Sky for AWS to enhance both the protection and the accessibility of their data, increasing speed, savings, and simplicity without the need for costly and cumbersome capital expenditures."

"At AWS, we're always looking at new opportunities to deliver expanded services and functionality to our customers via AWS Marketplace," says Dave McCann, Vice President, AWS Marketplace, Amazon Web Services, Inc. "With Actifio Sky for AWS now available in AWS Marketplace, customers have secure, scalable and cost-effective access to Actifio's copy data virtualisation technology."

"This is an exciting development for the South African market offering new opportunities to the enterprise sector for reduction of costs, increased speed and accessibility to data via Actifio's copy data virtualisation," concludes Harold van Graan, senior sales director, Actifio South Africa.
