Sound the death knell for tape!

Submitted by Steve Simpson

The Age of Tape is over. Backup tapes are going the way of VCRs and audio cassettes. But, that doesn't mean that backing up your data is a thing of the past. In fact, it's even more important to have a solid backup plan as part of your overall data protection and recovery strategy.
 
As we architect solutions for our customers, we help craft environments that combine intraday replication for quick recovery of individual services, with a solid backup solution that provides long-term storage and recovery of data.
 
Alliance's offerings from EVault, a Seagate Company, provides both on-premise and hosted backup options. If you have a primary and secondary facility of your own, EVault can synchronize backups between the facilities. If you don't have a secondary site or want to backup outside your organization, EVault seamlessly integrates on-premise and hosted backups.
 
And speaking of backups, what about data on those laptops?
Most folks we work with have a backup plan in place for their infrastructure. And, data stored on servers by desktops is covered. But, what about data on those "road warrior" laptops? When a sales guy accidentally deletes an important presentation the night before, how do you recover it?
 
EVault's Endpoint Protection (EEP) is an on-line backup solution for laptops and desktops. EEP silently runs as a background process, synching changed files to the cloud throughout the day. Alliance has been running it internally, and it provides peace of mind to our mobile users.
