StorageCraft Unveils Data Analytics, Backup and Recovery Solution

Not all data is equal. So, why should businesses pay to protect data they don’t need?

StorageCraft Technology Corp. announced that the recently acquired data analytics technology from Gillware Online Backup is available globally.

This solution, called File Backup and Recovery with Backup Analyzer, uses analytics to identify the data that should be backed up and the data that should not, resulting in an intelligent tiered data architecture that provides rapid access to mission-critical information.

“We acquired Gillware technology not just for the file based backup technology, but also due to the advanced data analytics capability built into that offering. Integrating its data analytics capabilities into the StorageCraft global cloud infrastructure is an immediate priority for us to realize the potential of this acquisition. We committed to a November global release, and the fact that our engineers were able to launch such a powerful tool in that short timeframe is a reflection of their commitment and capabilities,” said Jawaad Tariq, VP, engineering, StorageCraft.

File Backup and Recovery with Backup Analyzer reduces costs associated with backup and storage and saves precious time during the all-important recovery process by providing rapid access to mission-critical information, which allows organizations of all sizes to more efficiently protect their data while enhancing their profit margins by jettisoning high storage costs and ensuring immediate recovery.
