Businesses need to maximize productivity, lower costs and decrease risks every day.  In this age of information, this means you need your servers, desktops and applications up and running all the time.

Each year a business is guaranteed to have many productivity hits whether it is a stolen laptop, a failed email server or an accidently deleted file or folder. Some incidences are minor and some are major, but one thing is consistent: all of these occurrences negatively affect employees and customers, and therefore the bottom line.

According to a recent survey conducted by IDC the average small to midsize U.S. business has a collection of four or more data protection technologies in place to help reduce downtime and increase uptime. However, despite throwing people and technology at the problem of downtime, more than 60% report still having data recovery issues.

Why have companies needed four or more technologies? Because until now, there has been no way to protect the different operating systems (Windows, Mac OSX, Linux), critical applications (Exchange Server, SQL Server, Other) and different devices (Laptop, Desktop, Server) without cobbling together various solutions from different vendors. With this complexity, it is not shocking to know that over 60% of businesses fail to protect themselves properly.
