Actifio Data VirtualizationAn Actifio appliance is a highly scalable copy data management platform that virtualizes application data to improve theresiliency, agility, and cloud mobility of your business. It works by virtualizing data in much the same way othertechnologies have virtualized servers and networks. This enables you to capture data from production systems,manage it in the most efficient way possible, and use virtual or physical copies of the data whenever and whereverthey are needed. Boucher Application data is captured at the block level, in application native format, according to a specified SLA. A golden copyof that data is created and stored once, and is then updated incrementally with only the changed blocks of data in an“incremental forever” model. Unlimited virtual copies of the data can be made available instantly for use, withoutproliferating physical copies and taking up additional storage infrastructure.
