HARNESS THE
POWER OF THE
DATTO C LOUD
This new product line, like the new
ALTO 2, uses Datto’s latest-generation
Hybrid Virtualization to harness the
full power of the appliance hardware.
Virtualization leverages the formidable
resources of the secure Datto cloud,
and a VPN connection is automatically
initiated to ensure the recovery
experience looks, feels and performs like
a traditional local virtualization.
ALTO XL takes this successful formula
to an entirely new level, going beyond
the additional capacity to include new
capabilities. Included among these
benefits is Datto’s new Backup Insights™,
an innovative tool that can track and
report on changes to files and folders
on a system through time. Delete a
spreadsheet but don’t know when it
happened? No problem at all – search
recovery points to find the most recent
version and restore it with one click.
ALTO XL comes in two product lines to
cover a wide range of applications: the
ALTO XL line comes in a 4-bay unit with
models in capacities ranging from 1TB
to 3TB, and ALTO XL Professional puts
this hybrid cloud solution in 8-bay units
ranging from 6TB to 24TB.
All ALTO XL devices come with solid-state
operating system drives for maximum
reliability and performance.
For rapidly growing businesses that
demand true continuity and maximum
value, ALTO XL is the clear choice.
Brand new for 2014, Datto ALTO XL delivers the same
winning combination of performance and value that
makes the ALTO 2 so compelling, now in a larger,
scalable package. Designed specifically for applications
requiring 1 TB of storage or more, ALTO XL features
hot-swappable drive bays across all model lines that
enable upgrades up to 24TB.
ALTO XL: 1TB to 3TB
ALTO XL Professional: 6TB to 24TB

Hybrid Cloud
Datto’s ALTO XL utilizes Hybrid Cloud technology to improve redundancy
and give users greater protection of their systems and data. Hybrid Cloud
continuity is simple in concept yet robust in feature set; it leverages the
advantages of local backup and the security of the cloud.
It starts with workstations and servers protecting data locally across the Local
Area Network (LAN) to the Datto appliance. From there it is automatically
transmitted to the secure Datto cloud. This technology improves fault
tolerance while reducing the reliance on bandwidth speed. The local Datto
device can act as a restore hub for everything from files to application and
system fail over, it can also act as a staging environment for offsite transfer. In
addition, should the local device be compromised data that was transferred
to the Cloud can act as a replica site for the business. A local-only backup
option cannot ensure data integrity should a site wide disaster occur.
(See Figure 1)
Image-Based Backup
Datto ALTO XL uses image-based backup technology to take a complete
picture of the workstation or server. Advantages include quick full system
restores, easy recovery of individual files, bare metal restore (BMR)
capability, and the ability to boot individual backups as virtual machines.
Image-based backup is a superior technology vs. outdated tape and disc.
(See Figure 2)
Hybrid Virtualization
Datto ALTO XL brings the power and flexibility of local virtualization to small
business. Hybrid Virtualization technology initializes a virtual machine (VM)
in the secure Datto cloud, then automatically connects to the local network
through the ALTO XL appliance on-site using a secure VPN tunnel.
Instant Off-Site Virtualization
Datto ALTO XL protects clients from site-wide outages using instant off-site
virtualization. In the event of a local disaster like as a fire or flood, the entire
network can be recreated in the Datto Cloud in a matter of minutes. Secure
connections are provided to employees and business can resume normal
operations.
Off-Site File Restore
Brand new for ALTO XL comes Off-Site File Restore. Now, no matter where
you are, you can recover files and folders from any protected server or
workstation, from any point in time. The intuitive, familiar Datto Partner
Portal now features a simple, powerful utility for browsing the complete file
structure for any recovery point. Even better, you can perform searches to
find exactly what you need.
