Strategy #2When it comes to data recovery,

compromise is not an option !

5 Simple QuestionsIT has become more critical to the continuation of business critical functions.

88

How much revenue will you lose if your Company's data is lost?

How will your company’s image look?

What will be the cost to your Company?

How will you productivity be impacted?

Will you be able to recover?

Of companies that had a major loss of business data:

• 43% never reopen

• 51% close within two years

• Only 6% will survive long-term.

Accountability is everythingWhen it comes to data recoverability, compromise is not an option!

Reduce Risk Protect laptops, remote sites

and data centres

N+1 grid architecture

Data secured and encrypted from cradle to grave

Strategy #3Embrace Virtualisation

Virtual Server ChallengesTraditional agent-based backup and recovery force a series of unattractive choices

Unattractive Choices: Agent based technologies pollute

environments

Agents, by their nature, lack cohesion

The need to physically install and manage agents

A single agent adds as much as 16% server

14

Virtual Server ProtectionTraditional agent-based backup and recovery force a series of unattractive choices

RecoveryVault simplifies recovery of virtual servers by: Discovering each new guest

virtual server

Centralizing backup configuration and management

Controlling software licensing costs

Providing backup options specific to VMWare, Xen & HyperV

15

Virtual Server Auto-DiscoveryTraditional agent-based backup and recovery force a series of unattractive choices

RecoveryVault addresses the new corporate challenges around the discovery and configuration: Automatically discover a new guest

virtual server on a host servers

Automatically to track the movement of the guest virtual server from one host server to another

Guest virtual servers continue to receive uninterrupted data protection regardless of on which host server they reside

Strategy #4Don’t trust your users

Laptops Need ProtectionUsers still store critical data on their PCs and laptops

If data is not on the server - it is never backed up. Managing a remote backup of every

desktop or laptop machine, every day, manually is virtually impossible

Traditional tape backup requires an ever increasing investment in time, training, technology and supplies

Some so-called remote backup solutions exist, but they’re complex, costly, inefficient and bandwidth intensive

18

Laptops Need ProtectionUsers still store critical data on their PCs and laptops

Industry research has shown that users cannot be relied upon to back up their data consistently Companies are exposed to considerable

risk from irreparable data loss or lengthy recoveries

Remote backup applications for laptop users often require continuous maintenance and support - such as administering backup jobs and restoring lost files

19

Laptops Need ProtectionRecoveryVault is the Solution!

Recovery Vault provides remote backup efficiencies unavailable with traditional backup architecture by allowing you to: Manage your desktops and laptops using

agent-less remote backup technology

Backup to local or remote repositories

Users can restore deleted files themselves or administrators can restore data from a central location
