Backup Assure
Enterprise networks depend on identity services, firewalls, communications platforms and network controllers. In most environments backups are inconsistent, rarely tested, and assumed to work. Backup Assure replaces that assumption with proof.
IPTel deploys, integrates and supplies Backup Assure across Cisco, Aruba, Juniper and Fortinet environments.

The risk in critical environments
Network infrastructure represents millions of dollars in hardware and configuration. Most organisations do not know whether their backups will restore until they need them to.
In most environments:
-
Backups are manually configured or inconsistent.
-
Recovery is rarely tested end to end.
-
There is no clear visibility of backup health.
-
Teams assume systems will recover when required.
In critical environments, that is operational risk.

What Backup Assure is
Backup Assure is a purpose-built appliance that backs up your entire network infrastructure across vendors and protocols. It deploys in around 20 minutes and runs its first validated backup within the hour. Scheduling, retention, monitoring and alerting are managed through a web interface. No scripting and no Linux administration required.
Backup Assure does not just store files. It validates them. ISE backups are decrypted and verified. CUCM manifests are checked. Archive integrity is confirmed for readability. If a backup is corrupt, the platform reports it immediately.
Core capabilities:
- Automated backup scheduling, retention and management.
- Validation of every backup to confirm recoverability.
- Centralised monitoring, dashboards and alerting.
- Dynamic disk expansion without reboots, with 30/60/90 day capacity projections.
- Enterprise authentication: local accounts, LDAP/Active Directory, or Microsoft Entra ID with group mapping.
Platform coverage
Backup Assure supports leading network platforms across four vendors.
- Cisco: Catalyst Centre (formerly DNA Center), Identity Services Engine (ISE), ACI (APIC), Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), Unity, UCCX, Firepower Management Center (FMC), Nexus Dashboard, and Cisco switches and routers. Cisco IOS-XE device discovery is included in Pro.
- Aruba / HPE: AOS-CX, AOS-S, Central, Mobility, ClearPass, Comware, FlexFabric (included in Pro).
- Fortinet: FortiGate, FortiManager (included in Pro).

Compliance
Backup Assure is Essential 8 ready and aligns to CIS Level 1. It provides immutable audit logs, three-tier role-based access control (Admins, Operators, Viewers) and Microsoft Entra ID integration. Executive and compliance reporting is built in.
For government and healthcare operators, backup validation and audit evidence are produced on demand, not reconstructed under pressure. When an auditor asks whether backups are valid, the answer is a report, not a project.
The IPTel Difference
IPTel delivers, integrates and supplies Backup Assure into live enterprise and critical infrastructure networks. IPTel has delivered Cisco network infrastructure since 2006, including across more than 250 health sites in Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales. That experience means Backup Assure is scoped, deployed and validated correctly the first time, and aligned to the platforms it protects.IPTel works in brownfield environments where disruption is not an option. IPTel integrates Backup Assure into the broader network architecture rather than treating it as a standalone tool. The measure of success is recoverability, not completed jobs.
As a Cisco Preferred Partner across Networking, Security and Cloud & AI, IPTel brings platform depth to every deployment. For managed engagements, IPTel's 24/7 Australian Network Operations Centre monitors backup health as part of ongoing service.
Recovery, made certain
A network backup exists for the moment a recovery is needed. Backup Assure makes that recovery fast, tested and certain.
