Why Agentless 
Backup Is More 
Secure
Why Agentless Backup is More Secure 
 Problems with agents for data backup 
 How agentless backup improves data security 
 9 benefits of agentless backup 
Why Agentless Backup 2 Is More Secure
Problems with Agents 
 Compromised security 
 Creates vulnerability in the server architecture 
 A port in the firewall must be opened for every agent 
 No in-flight encryption 
 Increases complexity 
 Need to buy additional agents when you add servers, applications 
and/or databases to your environment 
 Must upgrade all agents each time there is a hot fix or new 
version of the agent software 
 Undermines the certainty of data recoverability 
 Exorbitant licensing fees 
 Increasing administrative costs 
 Application disruptive 
 Creates “agent pollution” 
Why Agentless Backup 3 Is More Secure
Agentless Backup = Maximum Security 
 Agentless architecture provides: 
 AES 256-bit in-flight and at-rest data encryption 
 Government-approved NIST FIPS 140-2 security certification 
 Customer-controlled encryption key and authentication 
 Regulatory Compliance (SOX, HIPAA, Basel II) 
 Compliant Data Destruction 
Why Agentless Backup 4 Is More Secure 
 Agentless backup helps organizations: 
 Achieve compliance 
 Minimize information-loss liabilities 
 Establish data recovery confidence
9 Benefits of Agentless Backup 
1. Significant cost savings 
 Eliminates unnecessary server maintenance and operating costs 
2. Simple licensing 
 Pay only for compressed storage capacity consumed 
 Multi-site license 
 Add servers, applications and/or databases on the fly 
3. Single consolidated repository 
 One piece of software to install, manage and diagnose 
 Single pane-of-glass view 
 Zero touch silent upgrades 
4. Support for private, hybrid and public cloud 
 Pick the cloud architecture / deployment model that suits your needs 
 Easily migrate as your requirements evolve 
Why Agentless Backup 5 Is More Secure
9 Benefits of Agentless Backup 
5. WAN/LAN/CPU resource conservation 
 Negligible impact on servers, workstations and laptops 
 Data reduction technologies minimize the impact on bandwidth and storage resources 
6. Elegant scaling 
 Easily accommodates new capacity, applications and sites 
 Includes integrated load balancing 
7. Backup consistency, improved recoverability 
 Remote sites can easily implement and maintain consistent backup programs 
8. Autonomic healing 
 Verifies the logical and physical integrity of the data written to the storage systems 
9. Restore Validation 
 Ensures data is recoverable by simulating real recoveries
