Overview
GOAL: Provide centralized, automated backup of laptops and desktops for long-term file backup, recovery, and revisioning
Data maintained and edited on laptops and desktops represent one of the largest data repositories for companies today, yet are the least
protected digital asset. In fact, industry trends show that up to 60% of corporate information is at risk. This trend will continue to grow
as laptops become more prevalent as desktop replacements.
While traditional backup solutions have
focused on the server infrastructure within
IT environments, data stored outside of these
servers have been neglected – and thus are at
risk.
As workforce mobility increases, what are your
plans to meet this growing challenge?
Business Challenges
- How do you handle the different connectivity states of a mobile end-user (i.e. “on net” when in the corporate office, “off net but connected remotely” when at home or in a hotel, and “temporarily disconnected” when working while on a flight)?
- How do you centrally configure, deploy and monitor a back-up solution in real time for a system that may be constantly mobile?
- How do you ensure back-ups occur to the central corporate storage infrastructure without creating complex processes that require end-user actions?
- How do you ensure efficient and secure data transfer from anywhere in the world?
Peer Solution's Benefits
The PeerSync Laptop & Desktop Backup Package for the Enterprise Workforce addresses each of these challenges and enables centralized configuration, deployment and monitoring of continuous data protection for both laptops and desktops.
While there are many solutions and methodologies trying to address this need today, a comprehensive review of requirements should be made to ensure that any product chosen meets all the complex challenges presented from a distributed workforce
