All-in-One Backup and Recovery Appliance Makes It Fast, and Economical for Companies to Deploy a Complete Data Protection Solution
SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/05/09 -- i365(TM), A Seagate® Company (NASDAQ: STX), today announced the launch of EVault® Plug-n-Protect technology, an
all-in-one backup and recovery appliance designed for fast, economical,
system and data protection. The EVault Plug-n-Protect appliance consists of
pre-configured hardware and storage, and a complete suite of software
including EVault
Software, EVault System Restore and EVault Real Time Protection. The EVault
Plug-n-Protect appliance is an additional deployment option to complement
the existing i365 software, SaaS, and outsourced managed service offerings
that are trusted by over 22,000 customers worldwide.
The EVault Plug-n-Protect appliance brings enterprise-class backup and
recovery technology to small and mid-size businesses in an easy to
implement appliance, while also offering across the board standardization
for remote and branch offices within large enterprises. This equates to a
significant time and cost savings around installation and vendor sourcing.
Customers benefit from a single point of contact for their software,
hardware and storage support. Additionally, as data grows and
infrastructures become more complex, customers can easily and economically
add backup storage capacity.
"Companies often lack the skills, time and/or resources to configure and
implement their own data protection solutions," said Dave Russell, vice
president of Gartner Research. "Sourcing and implementing pre-configured
software and hardware backup and recovery solutions enable IT to focus on
more business critical activities."
"In the engineering and architecture industry, we deal with a huge amount
of data. That, coupled with 15 locations nationwide, makes implementation
and management of systems time-consuming and difficult to administer," said
Bob Watkins, CTO of DLR Group. "In evaluating alternative solutions, we
found that i365's EVault Plug-n-Protect appliance was the only product that
could provide both system and data recovery with enterprise-class
technology at a much lower cost.
