Agentless Cloud Backup

NowX requires no agents, making it easier to install and support and more secure than other backup and recovery options.

Backup and recovery software typically requires that agents are installed on all the servers that an enterprise wishes to back up. This can fast become an intricate web when your system administrators have to account for differing operating systems, different revision levels, and other parameters. An ever increasing number of modern software packages also require agents running on host servers, which only increases the complexity of agent management. Agents also pose a major threat to security by requiring a port by open on the firewall in order to function.

NowX has no such requirements. NowX does not require that agents be installed for each machine or software application that you wish to protect. NowX instead uses innovative technology to pole out across the network to back up operating systems, file systems and applications; all by utilizing industry standard programming interfaces.

Agentless architecture allows companies to sidestep the cumbersome time consuming tasks associated with dealing with backup software agents. Compatibility issues, revisions with OS level issues and other manual labor tasks are a thing of the past under NowX.

Traditional, the major problems administrators face when managing their backup software are due to agents bugs and incompatibilities with host servers. By using an agentless architecture, NowX instantly reduces the risk of problems to a minimum while also aiding easier support delivery.

Former backup solutions which require agents on each server typically cause processing power to be diverted away from key processes and services in order to facilitate the poorly suited backup agents. Due to NowX circumventing the need for per server installation – such resource drains are no longer a factor.

Due to its centralized hub architecture, NowX also allows for quick and simple zero-touch silent upgrades, the ability to add servers, applications and databases on the fly, and mass deployment to unlimited sites within minutes.
