Minimum downtime, fast ROI and controlling costs cited as key reasons for the installation
May 27, 2004, South San Francisco, CA
Experian® the global information solutions company, and Acronis,
Inc., the technological leader in storage management software, have
announced that Experian has selected Acronis True Image
Server 7.0 as its disk imaging, disaster recovery and backup solution for all of its United Kingdom operations.
Financial terms of the agreement were not released.
Acronis True Image Server can create an exact
image of live servers for a complete system backup without interrupting server operations and
impacting system performance. It also supports incremental backups,
scheduling, dynamic disks and image verification.
"Dividing a hard disk into separate partitions
for the operating system, programs and data provides better
organization and, more importantly, much greater data integrity in
the event of a drive failure," Tsypliaev continued. "It also makes
it possible to run more than one operating environment on your
computer."
"An offline server costs us thousands of dollars
per minute in downtime, and potentially a lot more," said Mel
Mason, Managing Director of Technology Services at Experian.
"That's why Experian required a backup and disaster recovery
approach that would reduce a server downtime as much as possible
and provide the best possible return on investment (ROI). We
explored a number of products, and with its unique disk imaging
backup technology, Acronis True Image Server provided the fastest
bare-metal server recovery."
"Experian' choice confirms Acronis True Image
Server's flexibility in large enterprises that require
point-in-time server backups," said Max Tsypliaev, CEO of Acronis
Inc. "Ensuring data availability and maintaining peak system
performance were Experian's key requirements, and Acronis True
Image Server has met their expectations."
In addition to backup and disaster recovery
capabilities, Acronis True Image Server also allows Experian to
clone server
drives. This is invaluable when expanding a server farm quickly
with the minimum of configuration time.
Experian began the rollout of Acronis earlier
this year.
