Solving the Distributed Data Protection Problem

19 junio 2007

(Source: Arsenal Digital) Hackers, disgruntled and careless employees, equipment failure, broken pipes, fires, and natural disasters all pose threats to your data. Savvy IT and business managers have recognized that in order to deal with these challenges, they need to deploy a company-wide data protection infrastructure.

Unfortunately, traditional data protection strategies that rely on tape backup are often too expensive and too difficult to manage in today's business environment where an increasing amount of data resides in branch offices and on employees' PCs and laptops.

To help IT managers conquer their biggest data protection challenges, Arsenal Digital has released "Solving the Distributed Data Problem: The Rise of Remote Data Protection Services." This report discusses:

- The changing corporate environment where more and more business-critical information is generated and stored outside of headquarters
- The growing need to protect data for compliance, customer assurance, and business continuity reasons
- The advantages of using an on-demand, distributed data protection service that automatically, reliably, and securely backs up off-site PCs and servers.
