Backup space ten to thirty times smaller

A good backup solution and secure storage are essential, particularly if your company has to exchange data between offices in different countries. If you are an IT manager, you will sleep a little more soundly at night if you know that these processes are securely integrated within a solid infrastructure. It is precisely these objectives that Proact has made a reality for VIVID Automotive.

"We no longer have to worry about backing up"

Proact has installed a backup solution for VIVID which allows deduplication. This solution, designed by Data Domain, identifies any redundant data blocks during backup and makes backup space ten to thirty times smaller. This product also offers exceptional options for fast disaster recovery if you replicate two appliances via IP, as any duplicated backup data will automatically be stored in two locations.

This kind of system demands major investment; so VIVID chose Storage on Demand, a unique option offered by Proact whereby the client pays for the storage capacity actually used.

"This means we no longer have to worry about backing up at all. And maintenance is in Proact's hands too," says Alex Kwarts, Director of VIVID.
