Platform enabling monthly subscription, automated activation, usage metering and usage reporting

2008-2011 Continuous Data Protection (CDP)

TimeData is a Windows based application which provides computing environments with file-based Continuous Data Protection (CDP)

A CDP based solution captures update events as they happen and records those events to a separate storage device. This means that new information is preserved as it is created

TimeData software monitors file-system activity, captures all changes to protected data, and sends those changes to a server for storage. By capturing all changes, TimeData can reconstruct a separate version of a protected object for each change made over time.
