EVault Named 2006 Winner of Network Computing's Well-Connected Award; Online Data Backup Firm Recognized for Disaster Recovery Services

Business Wire, May 9, 2006

EMERYVILLE, Calif. -- EVault, Inc., the leader in online data protection solutions, today announced it has been awarded the prestigious Well-Connected Award by CMP Media LLC's Network Computing.

EVault's data recovery offering was selected as the winner in the Disaster Recovery Service category. The solution was recognized for its complete end-to-end support, use of dedicated servers within the electronic vault, and its ability to provide data replication among its multiple Tier-1 data centers located throughout the United States.

"The Well-Connected Awards are unique because they're the only industry awards given by technologists based on real-world use and integration. We view all products, technologies and services from the same perspective as our readers -- our peers -- do," said John Siefert, Publisher of Network Computing. "This is an important distinction from any other award program -- the products selected in the Well-Connected Awards have been tested in an actual business environment and judged by our editors themselves. They are truly innovative solutions that work -- and we have the metrics to prove it."

Since 1997, EVault has enabled businesses to fulfill a very important component of their business continuity program by efficiently and reliably safeguarding their data backup through a fully automated process that addresses each distinct stage of the data protection lifecycle -- from up-to-the-minute protection of business-critical application servers to long-term data archival for regulatory compliance. Today, EVault's InfoStage software and EVault's Protect managed service offerings are the basis for critical data protection and recovery for more than 7,000 customers worldwide.

"Network Computing's review process puts companies through their paces when it comes to critiquing products and services," said Richard Heitmann, vice president of product marketing at EVault. "Being honored with a Well-Connected Award validates our industry-leading offerings and our commitment to deliver the highest-quality service and support within the data protection market."
