BROOKFIELD, Wis. and WALTHAM, Mass., April 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Symmetry, a leader in enterprise application management, hybrid cloud hosting and GRC solutions, today announced a technology partnership with Actifio, the pioneer of copy data management software. Symmetry is using Actifio's platform to provide data backup and restoration services as part of its global cloud platform that supports the SAP environments and other critical enterprise applications and data for enterprises worldwide.

Historically, enterprises have been required to create costly and complex backup and restoration strategies for SAP, ranging from duplicate infrastructure and datasets to mirroring across data centers. As the amount of data has skyrocketed and the location of databases become more distributed resulting in increased data transit time and expense, new approaches to data protection have emerged. Actifio's ability to use SAP's native tools, incremental forever backup approach and open backend storage options reduces the time and cost for Symmetry to backup and restore customer data.

"The notion of disaster recovery has expanded from a natural disaster taking out an entire data center to today including the ability to quickly recover from a server being taken down by a ransomware attack.  For our enterprise customers, SAP is the engine running their business, so reliability, availability and data protection are imperative," said Christian Teeft, CTO and SVP of Cloud Services for Symmetry. "We chose Actifio because they understand and tap into SAP's native tools, use an innovative and cost-effective approach to back-ups and restoration, provide near-instant recovery of massive databases, and give us flexibility on the backend storage we want to use."

To create a better end-user experience, Symmetry has created a self-service portal using its own DevOps extensions built on a framework of API-based integrations with key technology partners – including Actifio – offering extensible technologies that are tuned to the mission-critical performance and reliability requirements of SAP.

"Experts in managing enterprise applications and data across private, public and hybrid cloud platforms, Symmetry understands the crucial nature of ensuring SAP and its data is always available to customers," said Ash Ashutosh, Co-Founder and CEO of Actifio. "As enterprises increasingly upgrade and migrate their on-premise SAP deployments to the cloud, Symmetry's hybrid cloud platform with the speed and economics of Actifio's data management and protection platform provides a high-performance, reliable solution for ensuring SAP data integrity and availability."

Both Symmetry and Actifio are SAPÒ Certified Partners.
