Press Release (U.S.)

Asigra to Present on Information Recovery Management at Storage Networking World 2008
Joseph C. Jeter, Chief Sales Officer for Asigra, to Reveal Strategies for Improving Data Center TCO with Information Recovery Management

Key data center concerns include the exponential growth of information, server consolidation, compliance, security and disaster recovery. Agentless Information Recovery Management addresses these concerns by bringing intelligence to backup, recovery and archiving in a low-touch, non-intrusive platform. Agentless Information Recovery Management ensures that information is truly recoverable at all stages of the backup lifecycle, including:

• Local backup: Required for meeting reduced Recovery Time Objectives (RTO);
• Online backup: Required for business continuity and meeting Recovery Point Objectives;
• Backup Lifecycle Management (BLM): Critical for longer term backup data held up to three years, and
• Long term compliance-driven storage in the archive up to seven years

Jeter will present on the next generation capabilities of agentless Information Recovery Management which delivers 20-40% TCO savings over agent-based data protection solutions. Agentless Information Recovery Management provides data center virtualization optimization by eliminating software installation on protected application servers and ending the implementation, operation and management of data protection software agents throughout the virtualization-enabled data center.

With an agentless Information Recovery Management platform, there are no server cycles required, resulting in greater efficiency and application performance. Furthermore, agentless Information Recovery Management with intelligent archiving recognizes that the value of information changes over time and can be managed across a tiered storage environment to reduce costs. Jeter will explore these and other advances and define the advantages available to the data center.
