Bocada Partners With Quest
Providing enhanced recovery management
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on October 23, 2008 at 3:35 pmBocada, Inc., provider of data protection reporting and analysis solutions, announced they will be working in partnership with Quest Software, Inc. to provide customers of Quest Recovery Manager for Exchange greater visibility into the location of backup data in order to speed recovery and e-discovery times. Bocada Enterprise reports, which provide information on backup volume location, will be packaged by mailbox to align with the Recovery Manager implementation model.
Quest Recovery Manager for Exchange is designed to rapidly and efficiently discover and recover business-critical Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino data to aid with electronic investigations and enable granular data recovery. With its ability to search backed-up attachment content, and to recover public folders, Recovery Manager is the only product on the market that provides search and recovery of all Exchange and Domino backup data. However, users are relied on to determine not only what data needs to be recovered but where to recover from. Often the user lacks the location information, requiring Recovery Manager to search large stores of data for the appropriate content, slowing the overall process.
By utilizing the Success and Failure and Volume Finder reports in Bocada Enterprise, users can quickly identify which Exchange server was backed up to what volume and determine the location of the required data. In addition, the Bocada Success and Failure reports will provide the user with information regarding which recovery point is valid, ensuring the data in question is truly recoverable. These easy to read reports allow users to quickly determine where Recovery Manager should be searching for specific information, resulting in much faster recovery and e-discovery times.
"Quickly determining the location and best recovery points has been a pain point for our customers," said Keri Farrell, Product Manager for Recovery Manager for Exchange at Quest. "We immediately recognized the value users would realize with reports from Bocada. Combined with the Recovery Manager’s granular recovery capabilities, our customers will further reduce recovery and e-discovery times."
Bocada Enterprise is an agentless, Windows based application which deploys rapidly and begins collecting information regarding heterogeneous data protection activities immediately. Historical trending allows users to go back over long periods of time to track volumes and backup successes. These reports are often used for e-discovery and compliance purposes.
"We have found there are a number of synergies between the value propositions that Bocada and Quest offer for data protection and recovery," said Nancy Hurley, CEO at Bocada. "By bringing the insight provided by Bocada reports together with the intelligent recovery solutions offered by Quest, we are streamlining the recovery process for our customers."
