TimeSpring’s TimeData® continuous data protection software for Microsoft Exchange, SQLServer, SharePoint and NTFS automatically captures all data changes in real-time so users can quickly recover from disaster, loss, corruption or security breaches. TimeData CDP software is file-based and application-aware so it understands important application consistency events, such as checkpoints and transactions. It’s easy to use, non-disruptive and affordable.

Product Description
Dropping transactions or losing data translates to lost orders, customers and critical management decisions. TimeData™ software ensures that you avoid these costly pitfalls by ensuring the reliability and integrity of your data, through complete, transparent protection of data from logical and physical corruption.
TimeData provides you with a moment-by-moment view of your data and transactions, and allows you to quickly and simply recover from data loss or corruption by "turning back time" to a precise moment before the corruption or loss occurred with a painless point and click. You can meet Recovery Point Objectives that are measured in transaction time, not hours or days.
Improve your productivity by analyzing, reporting and testing offline using real data from any moment in time, without impacting ongoing operations or your production applications. Testing applications, patches, and upgrades using real data is also a great way to minimize planned as well as unplanned downtime.
TimeData makes it possible to avoid costly downtime and leverage your data assets by automatically capturing all changes to data in real time and maintaining an efficient repository of "time-dimensioned" data. Viewing and retrieving data from the TimeData repository is simple and fast, so your Recovery Time Objectives can be minutes, not hours.
TimeData simplifies operations and makes IT more cost-effective and efficient by taking the away the drudgery, complexity, and uncertainly associated with traditional data protection. It integrates seamlessly into your standard server, storage, and network environments and leverages existing tape backup infrastructure for long term and offsite archive.
Key Usage Scenarios
Application data retrieval, Offline processing, Simplification of backup and vaulting, Complete change history
Benefits
- Recover from logical or physical corruption to any consistent moment in time - improved RPO
- Avoid costly downtime by retrieving data quickly - improved RTO
- Improve robustness and availability of business applications
- Reduce costs and improve operational efficiency by simplifying and automating data protection
- Eliminate backup windows
- Reduce planned and unplanned downtime by making data quickly available at the level of granularity required - from a single file to an entire database
- Simple to install and use - no special hardware or specialist skills required, integrates with IE
- Derive more value from your data by making a complete time dimensioned repository of real data available for offline analysis, reporting or testing
- Maintain a policy managed or complete history of all data changes to support data audit and retention objectives
Who Needs This?
- Companies with valuable data, transactions.
- Windows environments, especially SQL
- Understaffed, unmeasured IT departments
- Companies struggling with data management and backup complexity
- Expanding companies dealing with application and data growth
Prospect Problems
- Exposure to data loss between backups (poor RTO)
- Exposure due to poor or untested recovery of data (RPO risk)
- Downtime potentially costly (RPO and cost of business interruption or downtime)
- Insufficient IT infrastructure and expertise for managing backup, replication and application integration
- Few IT staff - Storage Specialists, Database Administrators and Systems Administrators unavailable
Problem Symptoms
- Lost, unrecoverable data
- Transaction losses in the event of corruption or deletion of data
- Poor data recovery performance - hours or days rather than minutes
- Little usage of data for analytics, reporting
- Data and transaction loss
- Recreating rather than retrieving data when loss or corruption occurs
- Poor if any data SLAs in place
Problem Scenarios
- Currently subject to significant data or transaction loss
- Volatile or changing application environment gives rise to data corruption or loss
- Current data protection or backup problems, understaffed
- Production environment running at or near capacity
- Desire to further analyze data "after the fact"
- Desire to maintain a complete change history for applications or files
Problems Solved
- No transaction or data loss
- High data integrity and reliability
- Fast retrieval from corruption, error, deletion
- Lessens cost, complexity of data protection, availability
- Data available for high value leverage
- -Analytics, reporting, testing, full change record
- IT operations simplified through elimination of incremental backup etc.
- IT staff can concentrate on non-data management tasks, add more value elsewhere
- Better RTO
- Better RPO
- SLAs can be instituted and managed
Applications That Benefit
- SQL based applications
- Transaction based applications
- ERP/supply chain applications
- Financial data applications
- Environments that perform extensive reporting, analysis
- Companies required to retain a change history or "audit trail" for data
- Companies who have IT and application environments that change frequently - e.g. application development, frequent patching and updates needing testing.
- Document management
- Collaborative file sharing environments (file servers)
Better Than Competition
- Better RPO than conventional offerings
- Better RTO than conventional offerings
- Seamless SQL integration makes data consistent and usable very quickly
- Simplifies data management operations
- Very fast, reliable data access (secondary copy from repository)
- Non disruptive, adaptive technology solution
- File system level operation makes data more application-aware and reliable, versus block based technologies that have to internally massage data to reconcile and interpret physical blocks with logical data structures
- No learning curve or special training
- Cost-effective (affordable to buy, inexpensive to run and maintain)
Long Term Value Metrics
- Better SLAs through improved RTO and RPO
- Higher data availability and access increases data leverage through better decision-making, analytics, reporting
- More stable environment, without data loss (using real test data, time travel)
- Reduced TCO for data protection and management solution
- More productive IT, focusing on non-data management operations
- Faster support resolution due to fast retrieval and recovery
Focus Points
- Continuous operation makes data available to support business
- Increase ability to leverage data through improved analytics, reporting and application/system testing
- Fast, simple application and data retrieval in order to ‘do-over" and avoid loss of data or transactions
- Valuable data and transactions by your application require high service levels for RTO and RPO - any moment, as needed
- Impact of loss or downtime
- Simplicity, ease of use and non-intrusive nature of solution
- Application and file-centric, so no costly training, integration or consulting
