Improve Data Protection
Many organizations today do not have adequate

perceived as too expensive, complex and unreliable
for any but the most mission-critical applications.
Disaster recovery is a form of insurance to protect your
IT assets when a disaster strikes. Just like good
insurance, the best disaster recovery should provide
great protection, with minimum hassle, at the lowest
possible cost.
In this session, understand how your organization can
backup data securely and efficiently to an offsite
location in a simple, affordable and accessible way
for disaster recovery purposes.
