Energy XXI Transitions to Asigra-empowered Managed Backup Services Delivered by Terian Solutions
Oil and Natural Gas Producer Standardizes on Asigra to Ensure Continuous Data Protection as Part of Critical Disaster Recovery Plan

TORONTO – April 9, 2008 – Asigra Inc., the technology leader in agentless information recovery management, empowering global integrators, outsourcers, and service providers to protect the entire enterprise, today announced that Energy XXI (NASDAQ: EXXI), an oil and natural gas exploration and production company with operations based in Houston TX, has implemented Asigra’s information recovery platform deployed and managed by Terian Solutions.

Energy XXI turned to Terian Solutions after determining that its existing automated tape backup system was not reliable enough to ensure against loss of critical data. The company had temporarily opted for a disk-to-disk system, but that option proved slow and unreliable and lacked offsite capabilities. Because Energy XXI’s primary operating subsidiary is based in Houston, where hurricane threats are part of daily life, offsite backup capabilities are critical. The company selected Asigra-empowered managed backup services from Terian Solutions because of its demonstrated effectiveness, ease of administration and superior customer service.

“Data protection and disaster recovery are top priorities for our company - especially since we sit in a region that is prone to hurricanes,” said Andrew Schaefer, IT Director at Energy XXI. “Our information is critical to our business and helps us maintain our competitive edge in the industry. We simply can’t afford to be down or lose our information if a natural disaster strikes. Our enterprise information recovery solution gives us the assurance we need to be fail-proof in the event of a disaster.”

Immediate recovery of the company’s Microsoft Exchange server—should that operation prove necessary—is a priority for Energy XXI, whose email data are critical to its ability to function. Using Asigra, Terian provides built-in Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for message or brick-level recovery and near-instant availability of Exchange-based data in the event of information loss.

According to Mike Colesante, president of Terian Solutions, “Asigra’s enterprise information recovery management platform gives us the confidence to serve customers like Energy XXI, whose efficient operations depend on effective data protection. We see ourselves as a top-notch data backup and recovery service so the software we use has to be on par with our offering and Asigra exceeds those requirements.”

A single event resulting in lost data or application downtime can result in significant revenue loss, fines or other negative implications. With the offsite protection of irreplaceable information an absolute must, it is paramount for companies to create and put into action a protection plan that enables secure, offsite, automatic backup and recovery of this information. By partnering with managed backup service experts like Terian Solutions, focused on providing reliable managed backup, companies can ensure the safekeeping and high availability of business-critical information quickly, easily and affordably.

“At a busy company, it’s critical that valuable IT staff spend their time on strategic, revenue-producing initiatives, rather than managing daily backups,” said Joseph Jeter, Chief Sales Officer for Asigra. “But a company like Energy XXI needs assurance its information is protected. That’s why they turned to the experts at Terian Solutions and Asigra to deliver an information recovery platform that offers the highest level of protection.”
