Network World Magazine Names Asigra Among ‘Six Storage Companies to Watch’
Article highlights emerging vendors in ‘hot areas’ of storage industry

TORONTO – JULY 26, 2006 – Asigra™, the technology specialists in agentless remote backup and recovery software, was named among the “Six storage companies to watch” in an article of the same name in the July 24th edition of Network World magazine.

The article, by senior editor Deni Connor, highlights emerging vendors focusing on various areas within the storage industry. According to the report, Asigra is “worth watching” because of its ability to protect data “at remote and branch offices where IT expertise is limited” and for the wide range of operating systems and software applications it covers.

“Being named among the top storage companies to watch by such a prestigious industry publication as Network World certainly verifies that Asigra’s solution for remote office/branch office backup and recovery truly sets us apart from others,” said Eran Farajun, executive vice president of Asigra. “We are pleased that our commitment to offer enterprises the ability to completely and efficiently protect their critical data regardless of where it resides within the organization is being recognized.”

Asigra eliminates many backup pain points through technology that is designed for enterprise-wide centralization, built from the ground up for superior remote office/branch office data backup and recovery. Televaulting 6.0 is available as a complete software package or as an online backup utility service through service providers who license Asigra software. Televaulting is tested and certified compatible by leading infrastructure providers not to take the place of data center backup software, but to complement it for multi-site backup and recovery. Business benefits that differentiate Asigra’s offering from other backup solutions include regulatory compliance features such as offsite vaulting and encrypted data “in-flight’ and “at-rest”, reduction in worldwide IT management expenditures, encrypted and compounded reduction of both hardware/software capital and enterprise-wide license costs.
