8. 5 Simple Questions
IT has become more critical to the continuation of business critical functions.
How much revenue will you lose
1
if your Company's data is lost?
2 How will your company’s image look?
Of companies that had a major loss
of business data:
3 What will be the cost to your Company? • 43% never reopen
• 51% close within two years
4 • Only 6% will survive long-term.
How will you productivity be impacted?
5 Will you be able to recover?

10. Accountability is everything
When it comes to data recoverability, compromise is not an option!
Improve your backup operations:
Achieve backup & recovery success rates
> 90%
Monitor daily/weekly & monthly backup
activity reports
Detect & fix errors even before they
become harmful

12. Accountability is everything
When it comes to data recoverability, compromise is not an option!
Reduce Risk
Protect laptops, remote sites
and data centres
N+1 grid architecture
Data secured and encrypted
from cradle to grave

14. Virtual Server Challenges
Traditional agent-based backup and recovery force a series of unattractive choices
Unattractive Choices:
Agent based technologies pollute
environments
Agents, by their nature, lack cohesion
The need to physically install and
manage agents
A single agent adds as much as
16% server
14
15. Virtual Server Protection
Traditional agent-based backup and recovery force a series of unattractive choices
RecoveryVault simplifies recovery
of virtual servers by:
Discovering each new guest
virtual server
Centralizing backup configuration
and management
Controlling software licensing costs
Providing backup options specific to
VMWare, Xen & HyperV
15
16. Virtual Server Auto-Discovery
Traditional agent-based backup and recovery force a series of unattractive choices
RecoveryVault addresses the new
corporate challenges around the
discovery and configuration:
Automatically discover a new guest
virtual server on a host servers
Automatically to track the movement
of the guest virtual server from one
host server to another
Guest virtual servers continue to receive
uninterrupted data protection regardless
of on which host server they reside
16
18. Laptops Need Protection
Users still store critical data on their PCs and laptops
If data is not on the server
- it is never backed up.
Managing a remote backup of every
desktop or laptop machine, every
day, manually is virtually impossible
Traditional tape backup requires an ever
increasing investment in
time, training, technology and supplies
Some so-called remote backup solutions
exist, but they’re
complex, costly, inefficient and
bandwidth intensive
18
19. Laptops Need Protection
Users still store critical data on their PCs and laptops
Industry research has shown that
users cannot be relied upon to
back up their data consistently
Companies are exposed to considerable
risk from irreparable data loss or lengthy
recoveries
Remote backup applications for laptop
users often require continuous
maintenance and support - such as
administering backup jobs and restoring
lost files
19
20. Laptops Need Protection
RecoveryVault is the Solution!
Recovery Vault provides remote
backup efficiencies unavailable
with traditional backup
architecture by allowing you to:
Manage your desktops and laptops using
agent-less remote backup technology
Backup to local or remote repositories
Users can restore deleted files
themselves or administrators can
restore data from a central location

In 1986, RecoveryVault’s founder set out to solve a problem - help businesses recover lost information. Having suffered his own catastrophic information loss, he was committed to five design principles:• As little human involvement as possible• Offsite storage of the backed up information• Centralization of the backup of all the business’ information• Protect the computing environment• Quick, reliable recoverySince 1986 RecoveryVault has been anticipating the information recovery management needs of enterprises of all sizes. With customers as small as 1 TB to those with multiple PBs RecoveryVault scales to meet the demands of its users. RecoveryVault’s Go-to-Market strategy delivers enterprises the most robust feature set available combined with the services and support expertise of a global network of channel partners. More importantly, RecoveryVault’s proven 23 years of thought and technology leadership ensures enterprises are uniquely positioned to optimize technology innovation without putting their most strategic asset - information - at risk.
