295245
(Source: Arsenal Digital)  Data has become the most valuable resource that many companies own. Organizations of all sizes are actively searching for reliable, affordable solutions for data protection to help them with business continuity, disaster recovery, and compliance. The problem is especially acute for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), which typically lack the resources to add new technologies or manage the growing infrastructure required to deal with the problem. As a result, many SMBs are investigating software-as-a-service (SaaS) data protection solutions in order to optimize their IT budgets. Join us to hear Doug Chandler, IDC Program Director, Storage Software and Services, reveal the latest findings and trends, showing why use of on-demand data protection is growing in the SMB market, why software-as-a-service has become the preferred data protection strategy for more and more emerging businesses, and how your business can take advantage of this option now.

(Source: Arsenal Digital)  Implementing a data protection program has always been a challenging task, but never more critical than now, as companies are required to meet new regulatory requirements for safeguarding data, and more as data is stored outside the main office. In fact, due to the growth of remote office and mobile computing, critical company data is widely distributed across enterprise networks, with no backup or disaster recovery plan in place. As such, the top remote office support issues companies face today are backup and restoration of data, disaster recovery, and compliance, according to the IT research firm IDC.At the same time, companies must be concerned with the cost of downtime, regulatory penalties for data loss, and customer confidence issues if data is compromised, corrupted or lost. As a result, companies increasingly are turning to remote data protection services. Arsenal Digital has created a Remote Data Protection Kit that helps IT managers plan and carry out a remote data protection plan. The kit discusses: -Remote office data protection: Impact of service quality on productivity, company revenue, and IT costs -Keeping the doors open: Understanding the business consequences when data is not accessible. -Data Protection for SMBs: Beyond Tape Backup
