STORServer Rolls Out Online Appliance Wizard

STORServer
Inc. announced its online Appliance Wizard, which helps data protection shoppers determine
which appliance solution and associated products and services fit
their backup environment and business goals.

"The Appliance Wizard allows
customers to find out about our solutions, while potentially
uncovering some aspects of a backup solution that had not been
thought of prior," said Bill Smoldt, president,
STORServer. "Simply put, the tool allows customers to get a
better handle on their needs and provides a great starting point for
considering any data protection solution."

All appliances are customizable and are:

Cross-platform and network friendly

Managed through a centralized console

Easy for anyone to learn and use

The appliance takes backup shoppers
through a series of questions about their data environment. Once all
questions are answered, the tool shares the results of the brief
survey, including:

The amount of data you need to backup

The appropriate-sized solution for your
environment

Necessary storage requirements

What’s needed to comply with federal
regulations, such as SOX and HIPPA

DR needs

Necessary backup for VMs and SANs

Budget requirements

Built on TSM, it offers a suite of
enterprise backup appliances, software and services that solve
backup, archive and DR challenges. The EBA 3100, 2100, 1100 and 800
took four out of five top positions in the DCIG 2012 Backup Appliance
Buyer’s Guide. After evaluating 66 products, DCIG felt that no other
backup appliance came close to the EBA3100, placing it in a category
of its own.
