Technology Partnerships with Hewlett-Packard, Network Appliance and BMC to

IT Professionals
STORAGE NETWORKING WORLD, SAN DIEGO, CA. - April 4 2006 - Bocada, Inc., the recognized leader in Data Protection Management software, today announced the establishment of key technology partnerships with Hewlett-Packard, Network Appliance, and BMC to further help IT professionals meet their services delivery commitments. Over the past five years, Bocada has assisted thousands of IT professionals at more than 200 of the world�s leading organizations to meet the ever increasing demand for cost-effective data protection services. Through these technology alliances with leading storage and software suppliers, Bocada will more formally integrate its expertise in developing easy-to-deploy, agentless Data Protection Management solutions with the data protection service management expertise of its extensive user group, services partners and technology partners.
"Bocada is focused on meeting the specific needs of today's Data Protection Management professionals by providing a holistic approach to services delivery against corporate objectives, personal objectives and compliance mandates," said Drake Pruitt, vice president of products and marketing for Bocada. "It is all about assuring the success of the people responsible for making key data protection decisions, and these technology partnerships improve the foundation for doing so."
Market factors driving demand for the Bocada Data Protection Management solution include:
- Massive and growing volumes of data under management by IT organizations and their services providers
- New business demands, including compliance, mandated service level agreements and corporate governance directives increasing the already substantial burden on IT professionals
- Pressure to reduce the cost of IT services, including the cost per terabyte of data under management
- Increasing complexity as applications, servers and networks continue to grow and new technology, tiers and professionals are added.
"Bocada has done an excellent job bringing infrastructure-wide data protection controls to enterprise IT teams," said Brad O'Neill, senior analyst at Taneja Group. "So it's now great to see Bocada working formally with other market leading technology providers to enhance their offerings and integrate into wider management platforms and systems. This is one more proof point that the Data Protection Management market has arrived and is part of any comprehensive management strategy."
