Strategy #2When it comes to data recovery,
compromise is not an option !
5 Simple QuestionsIT has become more critical to the continuation of business critical functions.
88
How much revenue will you lose if your Company's data is lost?
How will your company’s image look?
What will be the cost to your Company?

Of companies that had a major loss of business data:
• 43% never reopen
• 51% close within two years
• Only 6% will survive long-term.
Accountability is everythingWhen it comes to data recoverability, compromise is not an option!
Meet your Service Level Agreements Improve backup & recovery performance

Strategy #3Embrace Virtualisation
Virtual Server ChallengesTraditional agent-based backup and recovery force a series of unattractive choices
Unattractive Choices: Agent based technologies pollute
environments
Agents, by their nature, lack cohesion
The need to physically install and manage agents
A single agent adds as much as 16% server
14
Virtual Server ProtectionTraditional agent-based backup and recovery force a series of unattractive choices
RecoveryVault simplifies recovery of virtual servers by: Discovering each new guest
virtual server
Centralizing backup configuration and management
Controlling software licensing costs
Providing backup options specific to VMWare, Xen & HyperV
15
Virtual Server Auto-DiscoveryTraditional agent-based backup and recovery force a series of unattractive choices
RecoveryVault addresses the new corporate challenges around the discovery and configuration: Automatically discover a new guest
virtual server on a host servers
Automatically to track the movement of the guest virtual server from one host server to another
Guest virtual servers continue to receive uninterrupted data protection regardless of on which host server they reside

Strategy #4Don’t trust your users
Laptops Need ProtectionUsers still store critical data on their PCs and laptops
If data is not on the server - it is never backed up. Managing a remote backup of every
desktop or laptop machine, every day, manually is virtually impossible
Traditional tape backup requires an ever increasing investment in time, training, technology and supplies
Some so-called remote backup solutions exist, but they’re complex, costly, inefficient and bandwidth intensive
18
Laptops Need ProtectionUsers still store critical data on their PCs and laptops
Industry research has shown that users cannot be relied upon to back up their data consistently Companies are exposed to considerable
risk from irreparable data loss or lengthy recoveries
Remote backup applications for laptop users often require continuous maintenance and support - such as administering backup jobs and restoring lost files
19
Laptops Need ProtectionRecoveryVault is the Solution!
Recovery Vault provides remote backup efficiencies unavailable with traditional backup architecture by allowing you to: Manage your desktops and laptops using
agent-less remote backup technology
Backup to local or remote repositories
Users can restore deleted files themselves or administrators can restore data from a central location
