Hyper-V Backup Solution to Local, FTP/SFTP, and Public Cloud - Ahsay

Huge Income Opportunities for MSPs

By using Ahsay's Hyper-V backup solution as the core for offering managed backup service, you've got huge income opportunities from these areas:


Income from Storage

Many public cloud storage has become very affordable recently, such as Wasabi cloud storage. With the support for these cloud storage as your storage backend, you can now offer compelling managed Hyper-V backup service to earn recurring income.


Income from Reselling

If you just want to resell the Hyper-V backup software to your customers, with our competitive software pricing, there is a great markup potential to earn handsome reselling profits. You can further increase your income by providing professional value-added services, such as installation, configuration, hardware maintenance services, etc.


Income from Hardware Bundling

Many businesses still need to host their VM backup in-house because of speed, compliance, infrastructure, and other reasons. By bundling Ahsay's Hyper-V backup software with a server hardware, you are able to form a unique backup appliance to cater for their needs. This all-in-one backup appliance allows you to make profits from both software and hardware.


Income from Data Replication

For those customers who have deployed in-house Hyper-V backup appliance, you can also provide replication service to them as an additional offsite data protection for disaster recovery. With the latest Ahsay Backup Software, you can choose to host the replicated data in your own datacentre, or in the supported cloud storage. This replication service will be your extra recurring income stream.

Why Use Ahsay's Hyper-V Backup

Ahsay's Hyper-V backup software ensures fast HyperV guest VM backup to local as well as cloud storage, e.g. Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3, Google Cloud, etc. Our VM Run Direct feature allows you to instantly spin-up a Guest VM from its point in time backup file in just a couple of minutes. You can also use the Granular Restore feature to restore individual files within a guest VM within restore or spin-up the guest VM first. These are our Hyper-V backup's key benefits:

Instant VM spin-up

If a backed up VM is failed or deleted accidentally, our VM Run Direct feature allows you to keep the downtime within minutes, as you can run the VM directly from its backup file without the need to restore the backed up image into the original Hyper-V host first.

Granular files restore

Granular Restore enables you to access and restore any files from a single pass backup, without the need to restore an entire VM, boot up the VM, or perform a secondary redundant backup. This significantly reduces the recovery time objective (RTO) and storage resources on a second file level backup.

Lan-free backup and replication

Ahsay Hyper-V backup solution allows you to use fiber-channel and iSCSI SANs to reduce your network loading and increase the backup data transfer rate significantly.

Continuous backup

In case you have mission critical Guest VMs with tight Recovery Point Objective (RPO), Ahsay Hyper-V backup solution has the Continuous Backup feature that can trigger backup as frequent as once per minute for fulfilling any tight RPO.

Multi-destination backup

You can back up Guest VMs to multiple destinations, including local drive of the Hyper-V host, network share, FTP/SFTP server, and public cloud storage sequentially or concurrently.

Point in time restore

Our VM Run Direct or full VM restore allow you to run or restore a VM from any point in time that it was backed up. The VM will be run or restored in exactly the same state as it was during the backup, and will appear on the Hyper-V host you selected for restore.

Live VM migration

With the VM Run Direct feature, you can choose to migrate the running backup VM to its original host machine.

Hyper-V cluster supported

If you have a Hyper-V cluster with multiple Hyper-V hosts, Ahsay Hyper-V backup solution is able to properly back up all Guest VMs within your cluster, so that you don't need to purchase the pricey Datacenter license of Microsoft System Center for Hyper-V cluster backup purpose.

Retention / versioning

Ahsay Hyper-V backup solution allows you to set flexible retention policies, including daily, weekly, monthly, yearly policies to suit your IT audit and compliance needs.

Multi-threading

The multi-threading implementation in Ahsay Hyper-V backup solution will utilize the computing power of multiple CPU cores for creating multiple backup and restore threads to give you super-fast VM backup and restore performance.

Easy deployment

To back up your Hyper-V system, you just need to install AhsayOBM client backup application with Ahsay Hyper-V Backup Module enabled on your Hyper-V host. After proper configuration of Hyper-V backup set, such as select the Guest VMs to back up, configure the backup schedule, destinations, retention policy and VM Run Direct settings, etc, Guest VMs will be backed up to local storage, network share, your centralized backup server (AhsayCBS) or cloud storage automatically. You can also replicate the data on the backup server (AhsayCBS) to a replication server or to cloud storage for additional protection.
