FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New BackupReport Release Enables Users To Even More Easily
Determine Whether Their Data Protection Systems Comply with Enterprise
Storage Policies
Bellevue, WA - March 4, 2002 - Bocada Inc., the Storage Intelligence Company, today announced the release of Version 1.5 of BackupReport. BackupReport, the industry's first cross-vendor backup reporting, analysis and billing solution, provides IT professionals with the critical data necessary to efficiently troubleshoot data protection issues, improve system performance and determine compliance with enterprise policies and service level agreements.
BackupReport V1.5 includes enhanced analysis and reporting of backup windows, system throughput and reliability. This latest version of BackupReport also introduces Error FilteringTM; a reliability analysis tool that enhances system diagnostics by allowing IT professionals to selectively eliminate non-critical errors irrelevant to individual storage environments.
"Enterprises, whether public, private or government, are always looking for solutions that not only reduce administrative pains but improve system reliability and cost-effectiveness," said Tom Martin, CIO of the University of Washington Medical Center. "By implementing BackupReport as an integral part of our storage solution, we achieved an overall cost savings that exceeds $30,000 annually on our first four backup servers alone. In my experience, BackupReport is one of a few unique products that can provide such a substantial return in so short a time frame."
"Enterprise storage SLA's and policies will vary depending upon the importance of data to the enterprise, the volume of data being managed, the number of personnel and resources being protected and, of course, the risk profile of the enterprise," said Liam Scanlan, Bocada's Vice President of Product Development. "Bocada is dedicated to providing a flexible, open framework that helps validate that our customers' storage systems reliably and efficiently meet our customers' individual objectives and policies, irrespective of the operating system, storage management software or storage network architecture they choose."
"Simply put, Bocada enables IT shops to meet their backup and recovery service level agreements," said Steve Duplessie, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Storage Group. Any tool that instantly identifies problems with backup is something everyone needs. The first step to being able to recover is to know that you successfully backed up. It sounds simple, but we still estimate as much as 40% of all backups fail for one reason or another, and usually no one knows until it's too late."
