xpress for filemaker (xfm)

Want to enable your solution to reach new levels of reliability and performance? Want to bring your solution to the next level of business class service? The XFM2 backs up FileMaker in about a second, and a click of a button can restore it in a few moments. Restore in less time than it takes to pump gas at the station - right from your iPhone. XFM2s can store up to about 1/2 terabyte of active FileMaker data. Customers report significant performance improvements, to boot.

geo-synced replication

By purchasing an XFM2, you'll receive a professional backup and retention schedule, saving your solution at scheduled points in time, by default every 15 minutes. Geo-syncing multiple XFM2s at different sites replicates backups in real-time providing passive failover in case of natural disaster. If an entire data center fails, a second geo-synced XFM2 will have an up-to-date copy of your solution's most recent backup. Two XFM2s will provide two-way failover, three XFM2s provide three-way failover, and so on. Best of all, multiple XFM2s will stay synchronized with point-in-time backups so you know what you have and when you have it. Click! And you're back up and running in a moment, at one site or another, even if an entire data center goes down.

benefits

Business owners will know that their data is quickly recoverable should the worst ever happen. FileMaker administrators will know that backup protection is automatic and recovery is easy. FileMaker developers will know that rollback is available for the solution or even the Windows operating system itself. The XFM2 enables FileMaker value to reach the next stage of its potential.
