The Challenge
Data loss and rising cost of application downtime leads to reduced productivity and revenue. The unavailability of critical data
negatively impacts company reputation and results in potential loss of customers.
The Solution
StorageCraft® ShadowXafeTM is a data protection solution that brings a unified, SLA-driven management for
the complete data protection lifecycle. ShadowXafe delivers dependable data recovery with an optimized, easy-to-use
management workflow. Its powerful data protection is both agentless and agent-based, applicable for a wide range of
workloads, physical and virtual, on premises and in the cloud. ShadowXafe ensures reliable data protection, reducing
application downtime and improving productivity. In the event of system-wide failure, data corruption or natural disaster,
ShadowXafe's patented VirtualBoot technology allows organizations to perform virtual machine (VM) recovery in
milliseconds and restore their entire infrastructure in minutes. ShadowXafe provides total business continuity when
integrated with StorageCraft Cloud Services, our disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) as a service platform.
ShadowXafe’s architecture is designed from the ground up and is a collection of interconnected, scalable, and easily
manageable microservices that deliver robust data protection and storage access. It consists of three main components:
Data Protection Services, Agents, and OneSystem®. The Data Protection Services deliver storage access and data
protection procedures including backup, restore, replication, and storage. Agents are adapters for protecting physical
servers and virtual machines (VMs) to deliver higher SLAs. OneSystem is the management framework that orchestrates
and manages the activities within Data Protection Services. Users get real-time monitoring, reporting, and visibility from any
location.
Introduction
StorageCraft® OneXafe® is a converged data platform that unifies enterprise-class data protection with
scale-out storage in an easy-to-use, configurable solution. For businesses looking to protect and manage
their data in heterogeneous environments, OneXafe eliminates complexity and provides flexible deployment
to accommodate various workload requirements. At the same time, it significantly reduces costs associated
with primary and secondary storage as well as data protection software. By providing a converged solution,
OneXafe removes the need for siloed point solutions and minimizes costs incurred from standalone hardware
and software offerings.
At the core of OneXafe is a patented distributed object-based file system that delivers universal data access by
providing NFS and SMB access to users and applications. Data protection services are directly integrated into
the distributed object store, delivering powerful backup and recovery, with a work flow optimized for simplified
management.
OneXafe tightly integrates with StorageCraft Cloud Services, with a single click it provides business continuity
of data, network, and application recovery in StorageCraft's Cloud. There are a number of configurable options
available within OneXafe, from primary storage, to secondary storage, to enterprise-class data protection
combined with secondary storage. It is seamlessly administered with OneSystem, our simple, intuitive, yet
powerful management service. OneXafe enables ease of implementation for both powerful data protection and
optimum scale-out storage.

Capability Overview
StorageCraft Cloud Services comes in three simple Service Levels: Cloud Basic, Cloud Plus, and Cloud
Premium services. Utilize the pre-configured retention settings, or customize your own to best meet your
recovery point objectives (RPOs). You only pay for the recovery points you need in the cloud while having as
many recovery points as you’d like onsite.
Fault Tolerance Highly distributed and fault-tolerant disaster recovery cloud with 99.999%
uptime. StorageCraft Cloud Services is monitored and managed 24/7/365
by the StorageCraft Network Operations Center, ensuring anytime, anywhere
access to your cloud data.
Security and Redundancy Built using enterprise-grade hardware and software redundancy architecture.
In addition to redundant firewalls, our datacenters also meet or exceed
Telecommunications Infrastructure Standards (TIA-942) and Tier 3 data
center requirements.
Customisable Select the Service Level that best meets your needs, and utilize the pre-
configured retention settings, or customize your own to best meet your
recovery point needs.
Account Alerts Set individual account alerts to notify you when uploads become inactive, or
data growth exceeds established thresholds. Set alerts to notify you when
new machines are added or deleted, or virtual machines are running. Set
alerts to notify you of Seed and BMR drive request updates. Visually track the
seed and BMR drive request status.
Account Permissions Set account permissions to allow clients to access files, folders, or entire
systems directly from the cloud portal.
Advanced Networking Support In addition to customizing recovery network firewalls, you can update your
recovery networks through OpenVPN or IPsec to enable site-to-site, single-
user, or entire organization virtual private network (VPN) connections.
Advanced networking features include:
• Port forwarding • Port blocking • Network control options such as DHCP
• Independent and isolated recovery networks • Static public and private IP
address reservations
• Dynamic private IP address available at the time of a disaster
• Flexible and custom VPN configurations
Self-Service Cloud Portal Access data and systems anytime, anywhere, every time with the
StorageCraft MSP Portal, which includes a powerful dashboard showing the
status of all accounts, machines, seed drives, BMR drives, virtual machines,
