Ability to run multiple jobs to multiple locations simultaneously and offers quick recovery times
It was a very good product. It is real-time synchronization. It is a really beautiful product line. Once it is synchronized, it is a bit-level synchronization across the VPN. And the one beauty I really liked about the product line is you can run multiple jobs to multiple locations simultaneously. Usually, whether it’s electronic or any other solution, you finish one job, and then it goes for the second replication job, not simultaneously. In Carbonite Availability, you can have one DR service standby server in the head office, another one across the VPN at another DR site, and another one at a third site, like in the cloud. And all these three jobs will be going simultaneously once the initial synchronization is completed. Like, if you delete here, it just deletes everywhere. That means it’s a bit-level synchronization. That beauty, I cannot find in any other product line. It is real-time synchronization. It is high availability. That means if you delete something here, it deletes everywhere. That is the difference.
