The accelerated pace of data creation, accumulation, and diffusion is increasingly common among all businesses. With larger programs, more complex systems, and high demand for safe, secure operations, data growth is inevitable.

Data is growing exponentially due to widespread use of the Internet, email, images, and media-rich software.

Your business data goes hand-in-hand with your business operations. The loss of your data, or even temporary inaccessibility, disrupts your production and threatens your business.

In some industries, such as on-line sales, public forums, etc., loss of business data may ruin your company’s reputation, and may lead to expensive litigation.

Scary.

Poor “unstructured” conventional backup methodologies, such as: tapes, CD Roms, and external hard drives, are not sufficient for secure data backup.

The negatives?

• High restoration failure rates
• Lack of ability to detect problems pre-restoration
• Slow read/write speed
• Limited data storage capacity
• High maintenance cost
