CDM technology: Aurreum's new tool for revolutionizing data protection

In today’s data-driven era, efficiently protecting and managing vast amounts of data presents a major challenge for enterprises. Traditional backup methods, such as periodic full backups combined with incremental backups, often fall short in the big data era. These methods can lead to prolonged backup durations, excessive resource consumption, and complicated recovery processes. To address these challenges, Aurreum has introduced the innovative Copy Data Management (CDM) technology.

Advantages of Aurreum’s CDM technology

  • Synthetic backup for enhanced efficiency

Aurreum CDM employs synthetic backup technology. After an initial full backup, only incremental backups are required. Each incremental backup merges with previous backups to create a new full backup, significantly reducing backup windows and minimizing the impact on business operations.

  • Flexible copy management

Based on the initial “golden copy,” Aurreum CDM can generate new data copies after each incremental backup. These copies can be mounted in various environments, such as development, testing, or data analysis, enabling flexible data reuse.

  • Space-saving snapshot technology

Following each synthesized full backup, Aurreum CDM creates snapshots that capture data states at specific points in time without requiring additional storage. This approach allows organizations to retain only the latest full backup while still being able to recover to any previous state, optimizing storage use and ensuring recovery capabilities.

  • Instant recovery to minimize downtime

Aurreum CDM supports instant mount recovery. In the event of a failure, the necessary data copy can be quickly mounted, achieving near-zero downtime. This capability significantly shortens recovery times and reduces system interruptions.

Versatile application scenarios with mature technology

Aurreum CDM is suitable for various data types, including files, databases (such as Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL), and virtual machines (such as VMware). It employs customized synthetic backup and recovery strategies tailored to each data type, ensuring high efficiency and reliability in data protection.

For example:

  • Oracle: Utilizes RMAN backup principles to merge image copies of data files with incremental backups, enabling continuous log backups and achieving a near-zero Recovery Point Objective (RPO).

  • VMware: Implements rapid backup and recovery through block-level synthetic backup technology, supporting parallel instant recovery to enhance business continuity.

As data becomes a core asset for enterprises, efficient protection and utilization of data are paramount. Aurreum’s CDM technology overcomes the limitations of traditional backup methods with innovative synthetic backup and snapshot mechanisms, delivering efficient, secure, and cost-effective data protection solutions.
