Quotes:
Greg Shields, a Microsoft MVP and leading technology industry expert, said, “AppAssure’s unique inside-the-VM approach offers a compelling argument against the crowd of virtual host-based backup solutions.  AppAssure’s powerful yet remarkably simple architecture begs the question, “Why center backups around VM disk files, when their contents are what’simportant?”

“In our benchmark tests, AppAssure proved to be significantly faster than legacy or single-point VM backup products, with performance ranging from 50% to 4000% faster than competitors’ when performing backup operations,” said Jack Fegreus, a world-renowned technology expert and analyst at OpenBench Labs.  He added, “More importantly, we discovered AppAssure’s Smart Agent™ technology to be unique in being able to provide zero-perceived restore time, without adding significant processing overhead by remapping writes and then consolidating that data in a lengthy post-recovery process.”

Jack Codde, SVP of Sales, AppAssure Software
