Introduction

The Arcserve Cloud Direct Data Protection for Customers solution enables customers to protect on-premises data in the Arcserve Cloud to guard against potential disruptions to their business operations. The solution provides data protection for physical and virtual (VMware and Hyper-V) servers running Windows or Linux operating systems. With Arcserve Cloud Direct, customers are able to achieve business continuity by restoring data from the Arcserve Cloud.

The Arcserve Cloud Direct Data Protection for Customers solution has three primary components:

• Arcserve Cloud Direct Agent – Lightweight software application that easily installs on a server, and enables the creation of backup tasks to protect the server data. The agent transfers the backup data to the Arcserve Cloud for off-site protection.
• Cloud Console Portal – Web-based interface that enables administration of backup tasks and backup data protected in the Arcserve Cloud. The current Cloud Console URL is https://cloud.arcserve.com.
• Arcserve Cloud – Cloud storage infrastructure managed by Arcserve that stores and protects customer data.
