New Report Details Storactive's Influence in the Continuous Data Protection Market

Market Wire, March, 2005

Storactive® Inc., the leader in continuous data protection (CDP) technology, today announced the availability of a new analyst report on email management that underscores Storactive's leadership in the CDP space. Implementation of CDP technology, the Taneja Group states, results in zero-data-loss for organizations' Exchange server data. Traditional scheduled backups lack real-time, mailbox -level support capabilities, and email recoveries from these applications are time-consuming and cost-prohibitive. The Taneja Group highlights Storactive's LiveServ because the software streamlines backup and recovery processes using CDP technology. In addition, LiveServ provides businesses with around-the-clock access to and protection of their mission-critical email.

"Storactive's LiveServ software plays an active role in the new genre of application-aware CDP," said Tony Bautista, president of Storactive. "Our LiveServ product is an example of the innovation taking shape in the emerging CDP space. When CDP technology is applied to email applications, individual mail objects -- contacts, messages and calendar items -- can be rapidly restored."

Conventional, periodic backups leave a gap in data protection. The most recent data, typically the data with the highest value in terms of business continuity, is never protected. This unprotected data, often referred to as "last mile data," has become an intolerable hole as 21st century business pressures have elevated email to mission-critical status. As the Taneja Group points out, "We believe CIOs and storage executives when they tell us that email is one of their mission-critical resources. However, it is time to begin protecting email as if this were truly the case."
