Results

EVault’s disk-based InfoStage software with the DualVault option backs up data at the corporate headquarters and its remote DR site.

The company now has peace of mind that their data is fully protected and

secure. Faster backup and recovery save “man-days, not man-hours.”

Restore times reduced by over 90 percent. Automated, hands off backups assure reliable restores for all locations

EVault technology extends their ability to quickly recover both critical application data and essential infrastructure services.

File recovery is nearly instantaneous. Backup management and DR tests are more efficient. More data is protected offsite and quickly recoverable.
