  1. Eck-Mundy Associates, Inc Introduction to Datamend

  2. Today’s Topics • Data Loss - The Basics • Data Backup – The Options • Datamend – The Ideal Solution • Buying Recovery vs. Backup • Datamend’s Value Proposition

  3. Data Loss – The Basics

  4. What Causes Data Loss? -Fire -Data Corruption -Water Spills -Flood -Lightning -Heat -Disk Crash -Static -Upset Employees -Human Error -Rodents -Theft -Sprinkler -Hurricane -Hackers -Construction -Tornado -Viruses -Electrical surge -Storms -Patches -Bad Hardware -Terrorism -Earthquake

  5. What Are the Facts About Data Loss? • Severe outages occur without warning • Disgruntled employees • Disaster recovery plans inherently are incomplete • Disaster recovery plans are rarely kept up to date • Most people think “It won’t happen to me!”

  6. The Financial Impact of Data Loss • Lost revenue $$ • Productivity losses • Other expenses • Re-creation of data if at all possible • Overtime costs to reestablish the business • Lost opportunities • Lost receivables • Damaged reputation • Marketing costs to rebuild your image • Lost clients

  7. Reliable Backup/Recovery is EssentialIt’s Not If it’s When 93% of companies experience data storage problems 51% of those with problems aren’t fixing them 54% of companies experience information loss Following an “event” 43% of companies never reopen … 20% close within 3 years 86% of business executives feel their data isn’t vulnerable but over half of their IT executives disagree! (According to assorted studies by: AT&T, DRJ, SunGard, BTI Computer Systems and Ernst & Young)

  8. What Should A Recovery Plan Offer? • Portability – It can follow to your new location • Reliability – Data is positively there and accessible • Timely- Data availability meets the business objective (RTO) • Practicality – It is built with reasonable expectations • Manageability – It is designed with proven, readily available technologies • Responsibility – It provides well-documented procedures and activities for the entire organization • Compliance- Does my recovery solution address regulatory needs.

  9. Data Backup – The Options

  10. Backup Options • Tape Backup • Other Local Storage Methodologies • Online Data Backup via a Service Provider … Datamend!

  11. Tape Backup • Tape approaches are under the gun because of: • Demand for long term retention and archiving • Trend toward scanning and digitizing documents • Human involvement and possible error • Data recovery success rates go down over time • Users are thinking “Disk-to-Disk” • 1 in 4 companies polled by ESG Reports said tape-based backups failed 20% of the time • 29% believed they couldn’t meet availability and RTO with tape • 53% expected to implement disk backup at some point in near future

  12. Tape Backup • Disk-to-Disk • Faster backup and restore • More accurate restores • Reduced administrative costs • Can be fully automated • Supports remote locations well • Data is encrypted! • Supports compliance regulations! • Disk-to-Tape • Tape has known deficiencies • Tape relies heavily on manual intervention • Tape lags behind regulatory standards • Increasing data size renders tape inefficient

  13. Other Local Storage Methodologies • Disk-to-disk storage devices • Eliminate tape drive failures, but … • No off-site storage security • Risk of technological obsolescence • Low end software doesn’t address all requirements • High end software is expensive • USB, NAS devices, Local Workstations • All are used to eliminate tape, but none provide off-site storage security

  14. Datamend – The Ideal Solution

  15. Datamend – the Ideal Solution • Unique appliance approach is a “Best of Both Worlds” solution • State of the art technology • Certified engineers with “wide-spectrum” experience • Simple pricing structure • Provides key business benefits to the end user • Minimal risk in implementing the solution

  16. Datamend’s Unique Appliance Approach • Datamend appliance is added to the local network • Easy installation process • Combines the speed of local file restoration with the security of offsite storage • Up to 30 generations of local backups • Datamend software decides if it is easier to restore locally or via the internet • Reduces backup software installation and support • Fewer points of failure

  17. How Datamend Works IP WAN eTegrity Data Center Appliance Is Installed DS-System Disk Storage Existing Network

  18. State of the Art Technology Only the changed blocks of a file are transmitted to complete the backup – Capitalizes on the small percentage change in data between backups

  19. State of the Art Technology Backup software: Exceptional compression algorithms “Agentless” end user expansion Wide support of hardware, database and operating systems Local availability of data (in addition to offsite) Continuous data protection (CDP) Laptop Support with auto backup Data Deduplication Data Center: Multi-layered points of security Battery backup and diesel generator power Redundant bandwidth paths

  20. Differentiation • Our technology approach • Local appliance with up to 30 generations of backup • LAN discovery and other statistical analysis tools • We are NOT selling backup (commodity) • We ARE selling recovery (value) • Our 20+ years of experience coming out of the MSP industry

  21. Recovery vs. Backup

  22. Are RTO and RPO Objectives Being Met? • RTO = Recovery Time Objective • What data is critical to your recovery from a disaster? • What data isn’t needed until later in the recovery efforts? • What data can simply be archived? • RPO = Recovery Point Objective • Is it critical that you store data “real time” (transactional) • Is it okay to restore from last night’s data (informational) • What data can you afford to “do without” It’s not about the backup … it’s about the Recovery!!!

  23. Aligning Backup and RTO/RPO Objectives • Lan Discovery Tool • Understanding what data is essential and what data can wait • Cleaning up client data saves time and money • Data Management is key in any DR plan • Statistical Backup • A tool that analyzes the entire foot print • Gives complete understanding and overview • Size your system properly with live information

  24. Summary • “Data Loss” happens • Tape and other onsite methodologies are not the answer • Datamend offers an ideal solution • Buying recovery is better than buying backup
