Remote offices receive backup boost

Mar 14, 2005: Critical data and information held in remote offices in enterprises can now be backed up centrally thanks to a new system released by FilesX to improve data protection anywhere in the world.

FilesX Tapeless Branches aims to offer a comprehensive solution, built from the ground up, to cover all aspects for a true Tapeless Branch environment.

This includes offering a local short-term data protection solution on disks for each of the branches; data consolidation over the Internet for cloning backup repositories into the main data centre; and tape backup integration for long-term archiving of branch data in the main Data Centre.

Alon Cohen, the chairman of FilesX, said: "While enterprises commit significant resources for protecting their corporate data centres. Data generated at branch level is often backed up using costly and unreliable traditional tape-based backup solutions.

"Even worse, some companies use disaster recovery only solutions such as replication, thus ignoring operational recovery regulations and needs."

Steve Duplessie, an analyst with Enterprise Storage Group, added: "FilesX' Tapeless Branches not only reduces costs by eliminating tape from the equations, but also eliminates the "I" forgot to do it" excuse that is the cause of many remote data storage issues."

It has also been designed specifically to meet compliance, disaster and operational recovery regulations.
