FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bocada Ships BackupReport Suite 2.0
Industry's Only Agentless Storage Intelligence Solution Substantially Reduces Data Protection Costs for Global Enterprises Including Readers' Digest and Unilever.
Bellevue, WA - November 11, 2002 - Bocada, Inc., the Storage Intelligence CompanyTM, today released BackupReport® Suite 2.0, the latest version of its agentless, multi-vendor Storage Intelligence solution. By providing a new level of visibility into enterprise data protection systems, the new version of BackupReport helps leading organizations worldwide reduce their data protection costs and increase the restorability of their data.
Organizations invested more than $40 billion in data protection solutions in the past five years alone in order to protect their ever-growing information assets. Despite such massive investments, they still have little or no visibility into how effectively they are using their data protection resources or whether they can recover their data. As a result, organizations continue to spend substantially more per gigabyte on data protection than required and take unnecessary risks with their business critical data.
"By using BackupReport, we maximized our tape backup capacity and shrank our daily backup window by over 30%, while absorbing more than 300GB of data growth," said Adam Ladd, Senior System Administrator, Reader's Digest. "In terms of reduced administrative costs, a daily report that previously took two hours to create manually now takes about one second with BackupReport."
BackupReport Suite 2.0
BackupReport Suite 2.0 delivers a centralized view of all critical
backup activity across data protection operations managed multiple heterogeneous
backup servers. Through four integrated modules, the Suite collects, stores,
analyzes and distributes information on data protection operations irrespective
of the operating system or data protection architecture in use. The Suite
is the only Storage Intelligence solution that does not require deployment
of software agents. BackupReport Suite 2.0 features numerous enhancements,
including:
- New IBM TSM Support means users of IBM TSM will now enjoy the same cost-savings and data protection benefits as users of data protection products from CA, IBM, HP, Legato, Microsoft and VERITAS.
- Increased Media IntelligenceTM saves data recovery and media management costs by analyzing the utilization and throughput of storage devices and media, and by identifying bottlenecks and media damage.
- New customization features, including user-defined Zones and Custom Reports, enable IT staff to tailor their analyses and reports to the unique needs and polices of multiple constituents in their enterprise.
"BackupReport Suite 2.0 solidifies Bocada's leadership in helping organizations quickly and measurably improve their ability to protect critical data while substantially reducing costs," said Steve Duplessie, Senior Analyst for The Enterprise Storage Group. "The unique, agentless, multi-vendor approach ensures that almost every organization can immediately benefit from BackupReport® without altering existing data protection systems or processes."
