Systems Deployment / Imaging

Deployment and imaging tools prepare computers with consistent operating systems, applications, configurations, and security settings.

Modern approaches may use traditional disk images, provisioning packages, cloud enrollment, or automated configuration management to reduce setup time and keep devices reliable throughout refreshes, repairs, reassignments, and large-scale rollouts.

What these systems support

Operating-system imaging, provisioning, enrollment, and zero-touch setup
Application packages, drivers, configurations, scripts, and security baselines
Deployment waves, status, logs, recovery, reimaging, and lifecycle automation

Rapid Recovery

Product Details

Website

https://www.quest.com/products/rapid-recovery/

Overview

When installed with a replication partner AppAssure is a very robust system for backup, replication and disaster recovery. Here’s how it works.

Rapid Recovery (formerly AppAssure) is a software solution which runs on top of a Windows Server host. The software may be purchased as either a stand-alone product or as a pre-installed rack-mount name brand appliance. In either configuration this central server is known as a “Core”. The core acts as the onsite repository of all backed up data.

Like a traditional backup solution, the Rapid Recovery (formerly AppAssure) core communicates to each protected server via a lightweight agent. Following an initial “base” or “seed” of the server the agent monitors changes on the server between each backup. This backup is known as a snapshot. The cadence on this snapshot process is infinitely variable with a minimum value of 5 minutes. At each snapshot interval the agent aggregates all the changed blocks on the server, and following de-duplication and compression, they are written to the core.

Unlike many disk-based solutions the Rapid Recovery (formerly AppAssure) agent and process is very lightweight and has trivial impact on the target server.
