COST SAVINGS OF DATA CENTRALIZATION INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY AND SERVICE LEVELS

Remove and retire backup equipment from remote

sites, saving in maintenance and upgrades

Remote and branch office systems run faster and with no

backup impact, supporting higher productivity levels for

business workers

Repurposes backup server systems to other

workloads

Efficient use of networks through combined effect of data

reduction from compression, encryption and deduplication

Eliminate the cost of tape cartridges from remote sites Ability to enforce common policies for data management across

all data, including data created in remote sites

Eliminate service contracts requiring tape collection

from each remote site

Ability to report on management of all data, including centralized

data, for executive oversight and validation

Eliminate or reduce human error in data management Higher levels of reliability for preservation of data for disaster

recovery and legal discovery purposes

Remove the burden of tape rotation and oversight of

backup/recovery from remote sites

Higher levels of data reliability and reduced cost of remote office

data protection
