North Shore Credit Union Chooses Autonomy

Autonomy Corp.,
an HP company, announced that North Shore Credit Union (NSCU) has selected HP Data Protector 7
and HP StoreOnce Catalyst to provide an end-to-end a data protection and
deduplication solution to back up the bulk of its email, servers, files and
virtual environments.

Based in North Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada, NSCU is a financial institution with approximately 40,000
clients, 12 branches and 300 employees. With Data Protector and
StoreOnce, NSCU can recall and restore data. They also have the flexibility to replicate
among other StoreOnce devices while limiting the amount of bandwidth
required for that replication. NSCU no longer has to access and recall physical
data tapes from a vault, saving the credit union more than $130,000 annually.
Also, Data Protector and StoreOnce Catalyst allow NSCU to move data
around faster, resulting in a decrease in backup and retention times.

"In
my experience, it’s rare to find someone who likes their data back-up software
but Data Protector is one that I find myself recommending to others because the
service is excellent and the technology is outstanding," said Ryan C.
Burgess, infrastructure architect, North Shore Credit Union. "Through HP Autonomy, we have access to
expertise that can meet the evolving needs of our environment, ensuring that if
any issues arise they get solved very quickly."

Data Protector is an unified, meaning-based data-protection solution that utilizes an intelligent
data management approach to protect and harness data based on its meaning from
the edge to the data center and across physical, virtual and cloud
environments.

By leveraging Autonomy’s Intelligent Data
Operating Layer (IDOL) in Data Protector, organizations can achieve
context-aware management of their data to optimize recovery, search, compliance
and eDiscovery. Based on StoreOnce, Data Protector also allows organizations to
minimize infrastructure costs by unifying and eliminating duplicate files
stored across disparate locations.

The integration of Data Protector with StoreOnce Catalyst creates a single point of control for deduplication,
backup and recovery, which enables companies to enhance backup processes,
eliminate wasted resources, shrink network bandwidth cost and improve backup
throughput.

"Utilizing
Autonomy enables North Shore Credit Union to archive, migrate and restore data
in a rapid, cost effective way," said David Jones, GM, data protection
at Autonomy, an HP company. "North
Shore Credit Union joins the thousands of organizations around the world who
use Autonomy solutions as a vital component of a holistic information
governance strategy."
