Backup Exec and VMware Work Together for SMBs
To help customer Design & Source Productions <http://bit.ly/eOLGOd> manage
their growing information, Baroan Technologies implemented Backup Exec 2010
and VMware data protection technologies.
"Prior to implementing Backup Exec 2010, backups were performed manually and
sporadically, which put a lot of Design & Source Productions' proprietary
business and customer data at risk,"
explained Guy Baroan, president of Baroan Technologies. "With a recent
network and server upgrade, Baroan Technologies helped Design & Source
implement VMware to significantly reduce their power consumption while fully
protecting their data with Backup Exec 2010."
"We already use 100 percent wind power at our headquarters. By helping us
reduce power consumption without compromising the safety of our data,
Symantec Backup Exec and VMware helped us go one step further in making our
business more efficient, while still staying green," said Laura Tufariello,
founder and owner of Design & Source Productions.
Availability and Stability for a Complex Infrastructure
Data protection and energy efficiency are top priorities for
MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions <http://bit.ly/hATrGM> , which provides
heating, ventilation and air conditioning services mechanical design and
construction services alongside energy management programs to commercial
facilities.
"Since we are a green business, we are always looking for ways to minimize
physical hardware in the data center and reduce the power and cooling that
it requires," said Seth Henderson, Network Administrator, MacDonald-Miller
Facility Solutions.
"By deduplication and archiving their messaging system with Backup Exec and
Symantec Enterprise Vault <http://bit.ly/eRijXh> , we were able to
effectively help MacDonald-Miller better manage their data volumes and
storage hardware consumption while reducing energy in the data center," said
Lauren Newman, account executive, SHI International Corp.
Virtualization Key to Business Management
Electrical product supply company, Cetnaj <http://bit.ly/fjv7mQ> has
300 employees throughout Australia and New Zealand and has been able to
efficiently streamline backups due to the deep integration Backup Exec has
with VMware.
"With Backup Exec, we have been able to reduce the complexity of data
protection for both physical and virtual machines, while greatly reducing
overhead in terms of power," said Tony Cuffe, operations manager Cetnaj.
"Backup Exec delivers comprehensive data protection to an unlimited number
of VMware virtual guest systems. For a small business with several servers
like Cetnaj, this technology is essential," said Ian Irving, Sales Director,
SureBridge IT.
