Traditionally,
all backup applications need agents on each desktop & server to be backed
up for processing and running algorithms like compression, deduplication &
encryption (if applicable). When we position our Abhraya Backup Vault service
with agentless architecture, many people get doubtful. Abhraya Cloud Backup
Vault has overcome this and works in its own unique way.
Being agentless
brings some key benefits to the production systems:
1.
Speed of deployment is enhanced
as you do not need to wait for off-peak hours and risk of reboot while
deploying the solution.
2.
Limits the memory and processor
utilization on the production system as it’s the TCP/IP or Unix-SSH that
provides the data to the central Backup Vault Client. All other algorithms are
the function of Backup Vault Client not the production server.
3.
Ease of upgrades by upgrading
only the central Backup Vault client and not the production server. The
transition is smooth enough that it does not need to disturb the production
system working.
4.
Ease of troubleshooting &
supporting as all logs & errors are generated on the central server only.
You don’t need to login to production servers for these.
I believe this
new architecture of a backup application is making it more convenient to deploy
and manage a backup infrastructure putting negligible load on the production
servers & applications.
