What Asigra Cloud Backup is
Asigra Cloud Backup is a Backup-as-a-Service platform designed for managed service providers. Its Tigris system protects physical file systems, enterprise applications, SaaS applications, enterprise databases, and virtual machines, including those running on Microsoft Hyper-V Server, VMware vCenter Server, and VMware Cloud Director. DS-Client coordinates backup and recovery on a local network without installing agents on individual endpoints. A web management console schedules backup and recovery for Windows, macOS, Linux, Microsoft 365, and VMware servers. Supported SaaS services include Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Google Workspace; databases include Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, Oracle MySQL, IBM DB2, and PostgreSQL. VMware virtual machines can be replicated between two vCenter servers. Security measures include AES-256 encryption, antimalware scanning, Content Disarm and Reconstruction, multifactor authentication, and multiperson approval. Tigris can run on Windows, Linux, or Mac and use on-premises or public-cloud storage. The subscription is pay-as-you-go based on protected source data, with no price listed. Registered customers receive portal, ticket, email, and weekday phone support.
