OpenText Availability vs. OpenText Recover vs. OpenText Server Backup vs. SQL Server Data Access Components Comparison Chart

OpenText Availability continuously replicates physical, virtual, and cloud systems at the byte level, capturing real-time changes with a Recovery Point Objective of seconds, and maintains duplicated Windows and Linux servers at secondary locations for near-zero downtime. In the event of an outage, it offers automated or on-demand failover with integrated heartbeat monitoring and DNS management, followed by seamless failback when systems are restored. Data is secured with AES 256-bit encryption in flight, while three tiers of compression and bandwidth-throttling options minimize network impact. An extensive API allows integration with other applications, and built-in alerting, reporting, and non-disruptive failover testing ensure administrators can monitor health, troubleshoot, and validate disaster-recovery plans without affecting production workloads. OpenText Availability supports any hypervisor, including VMware ESXi/vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V, and any major cloud platform.

OpenText Server Backup gives your business a secure, all-in-one solution for protecting physical, virtual, and legacy systems with flexible local, cloud, or hybrid deployment and rapid, near-zero-downtime recovery via bare-metal restores, granular file and application-aware options, and push-button cloud failover with automated failback. Managed through a single pane of glass, it supports optional integrated hardware appliances or virtual-machine-based configurations, customizable scheduling with forever-incremental backups and immutable, hourly snapshots, plus comprehensive ransomware scanning, alerting, and remediation. The platform delivers VMware and Hyper-V protection with RTOs as low as two minutes, Microsoft application data recovery to fully functional states, and granular restores to files, folders, or VMs.
