SunGard Secure2Disk Provides Online Backup and Recovery Services to Help Improve Operational Availability

SunGard Online Backup System Helps Organizations Protect and Recover More Data More Quickly

Protecting business information from routine incidents, such as hardware and power outages, viruses, accidental deletions and application failures, as well as ensuring that information is available despite natural disasters is a continuous challenge for IT organizations. Secure2Disk from SunGard Availability Services delivers a new disk-based, online backup and recovery solution for organizations looking to improve the reliability of both operational backup and off-site recovery of their IT systems.

SunGard’s Secure2Disk solution helps organizations upgrade their tape-based backup systems for their servers, virtual machines, databases, e-mail applications and storage devices with an online service that provides multiple generations of their backed-up information on an onsite SunGard appliance. The SunGard appliance can be used to help ensure operational resilience and as an online and off-site vault to protect vital information. Secure2Disk can help organizations recover more data, more quickly, with the increased data reliability and security of leveraging a disk-based backup and recovery capability at a cost comparable to tape.

“Companies are experiencing compound annual storage growth rates of 30 to 35 percent and this is pressuring IT organizations to improve information availability,” says John Lindeman, vice president of product management at SunGard Availability Services. “With Secure2Disk, customer data is routinely routed to a secure, off-site SunGard recovery facility — having data accessible at a second site is an information availability best practice.”

Before the data is transmitted to SunGard, Secure2Disk “de-duplicates” the data to reduce network bandwidth and storage consumption, and encrypts the information before it leaves the customer’s datacenter to help ensure security. Only the customer has access to its information. Customers can monitor the status of the Secure2Disk environment and restore any files on a 24/7 basis.

Secure2Disk Service includes a SunGard managed appliance connected directly to a customer’s network and backs up Microsoft Windows, Linux, UNIX and IBM iSeries environments with no specialized technical skills needed. It permits organizations to respond quickly to operational outages restoring data from multiple sources — disks that are on-site and disks that are online and off-site at a SunGard recovery center. Secure2Disk also provides a second off-site backup vault at a second SunGard recovery center that protects the primary backup copy.

When the customer also contracts with SunGard for recovery services, customer information is available for restoration to the SunGard recovery environment in the event of a disaster, test or system outage. This approach makes periodic testing and recovery achievable in hours instead of days by eliminating the lead times associated with tape.

SunGard Availability Services provides disaster recovery services, managed IT services, information availability consulting services and business continuity management software to more than 10,000 customers in North America and Europe. With four million square feet of datacenter and operations space, SunGard assists IT organizations across virtually all industry and government sectors prepare for and recover from emergencies by helping them minimize their computer downtime and optimize their uptime. Through direct sales and channel partners, we help organizations ensure their people and customers have uninterrupted access to the information systems they need in order to do business.

GFI Software Launches FREE Full-Featured Backup and Recovery Software for Home Users

To assist home PC users during these troubled economic times and to help them understand the importance of data backups, GFI Software announced the release of a free version of its newly-developed backup and recovery software called GFI Backup 2009 – Home Edition. Perfect for home users, GFI Backup 2009 allows PC users to safeguard precious memories – pictures, video, Office documents – and any files stored on their computer.

The FREE software can be downloaded from http://www.gfi.com/backup-hm/free-backup-software/ and allows home users to keep regular and updated copies of all important files and safeguard data in case something goes wrong. This is GFI’s first release of a recovery product designed specifically for home users.

“Security threats do not only affect businesses but home users as well. In many cases, loss of data for individuals is heartbreaking because memories, personal documents and important files are lost due to hard disk failure or virus attacks,” said Walter Scott, CEO, GFI Software. “We firmly believe in helping people be better prepared and we are doing this by giving home users a full-featured backup software product for free.”

GFI Backup 2009 is an easy-to-use backup and recovery software solution that allows users to backup all their important files and, when needed, recover data within minutes using the product’s wizard-driven interface. GFI Backup 2009 does not use a proprietary format – all data is saved to common ZIP files making it easy to restore data to a computer that may not have GFI Backup installed on it.

Data can be stored on nearly every storage device available such as internal or external hard disks, local area network (LAN) locations, CD/DVD media, removable media devices (USB sticks, memory sticks, flash memory, floppy disks, etc.) and remote locations using FTP with upload auto-resume. Data can also be protected with military-strength 256-bit AES strong encryption.

GFI Backup 2009 is currently available for home users. The company will release a small business/corporate version later this year.

“At GFI Software, we believe that we should do what we can to help our customers protect their data – whether it be important business information or personal memories. We view ourselves not only as a vendor but also as a partner that understands our customers’ needs and is actively doing something through our “We Care” initiative  to help them through these tough economic times,” added Scott.
