Storage Experts NOW Relies on KineticD

KineticD announced that Storage Strategies NOW, an industry analyst
firm offering written publications and analysis for IT users, business and
technology companies, relies on KineticCloud Backup to provide its staff with
versioning restore and Continuous Data Protection assuring files are continuously
and automatically protected and backed up to the cloud.

Founding analyst Deni Connor, located in Texas, and senior analyst
and business development consultant Jim Bagley, based in North Carolina, had
been collaborating on a 200-page report for several months.

Coincidentally, the
Friday before it was due to be released, both of their computers suffered hard
drive failures within hours of one another. Both were working on their laptops
when the crash occurred, leaving them speechless and frantic at the thought of
delaying delivery of their report.

Jim rushed out to purchase a new laptop, downloaded the KineticCloud
client and began to restore his system. Within a couple of hours, he
was able to restore his copy of the report. Deni waited to have the disk drive
replaced and then used KineticCloud Backup to restore parts of her system. She
restored applications from a locally-attached NAS device and the report and
copies of her Exchange .PST file.

"The thing I value the
most about KineticCloud Backup is that it is totally transparent,"
said Deni Connor. "When I travel I
don’t worry because I know that all my latest changes are synchronized and the
weekly email notifications from KineticD tell me whether my machine has been
backed up, providing me with ongoing peace of mind that my files are safe and I
don’t need to think about it."

Jim was using a third-party restoration software that proved to be
corrupted when he began his restore process from a local drive. After a moment
of concern, he logged into his KineticD account and within minutes was able to
begin restoring his own drive from the cloud.

"Nobody wants their computer to crash, especially when working with
time-sensitive documents," said Jim Bagley. "After experiencing how easy it was to recover my files from KineticD, I
would never use anyone else!"

Today, Deni, Jim and the entire Storage Strategies NOW team, rely on
KineticD to backup all their corporate assets. They are a testament to the
importance of regular, ongoing backup to the cloud, and an example how
KineticCloud Backup can save time and resources.

"Hard drive failure is an
ongoing issue for any business, especially when your company assets include written
reports that take months to produce," said Jamie Brenzel, CEO,
KineticD. "Failure to backup company
data can be devastating. Experiences like this highlight the fact that
continuous and automatic data backup with versioning on a file level ultimately
makes or breaks a business. We are pleased to have Search Strategies NOW, true
experts in storage, using our product to protect their valuable assets."
