OFF-SITE DATA PROTECTION

Reliable data protection has never been more vital

Data is the lifeblood of your organisation. Protecting it and ensuring uninterrupted access to it are key business challenges. Data backup and vaulting are no longer the straightforward tasks they once were. Recent trends have created new requirements, risks and expectations:

• Explosive data growth, combined with litigation and compliance pressures, requires that the data on backup tapes be easy to search and retrieve
• The growth of identity theft and network intrusions has heightened the need for backed-up data to be secured during transit and in storage
• Recent disasters, such as the Buncefield Oil Depot fire, remind us how important it is to protect backup media and rapidly recover data to support business continuity
