• End-to-end encryption: Protects data with strong encryption to ensure confidentiality and integrity.
• Granular recovery options: Allows for the recovery of specific data elements, reducing downtime and data loss.
• Automated failover and restoration: Ensures that systems can quickly switch to a backup system in the event of a failure and restore operations seamlessly.
