 Compliance Challenge
Litigation is a cost of business. The changes in FRCP (Federal Rules of Civil Procedure), Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bailey Act), and other broad regulations are just the beginning. There has been an increasing focus on industry-level regulations such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability Assurance Act), SEC17 (Security and Exchange Commissions Rules 17), PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority), and others as well.
Being unable to respond in an appropriate manner to regulation and potential litigation dramatically increases your overall costs. It's like lightning - you may think your odds of getting hit are low, but you're not stupid enough to walk around in a thunderstorm.
Unitrends Solution
The solutions that Unitrends brings to businesses that are facing regulatory compliance challenges are as follow:
- Unified monitoring and management: Our Rapid Recovery Console allows unified monitoring and management; our alert, SMTP e-mail, and SNMP systems allow integration with third-party systems and network management platforms.
- Edge data protection: Protection of notebooks, PCs, and workstations at the "edge" of the IT infrastructure. Local storage is protected without requiring people to remember to copy to the SAN.
- Physical and virtual server protection: Protection of physical and virtual servers within the IT infrastructure. This may be used to avoid proprietary vendor lock-in of a single storage vendor or technology. In other words, when you need to expand you can add a terabyte for less than $99 to your server instead of paying thousands for a terbyte of SAN storage.
- NAS and SAN data protection: Protection of NAS and SANs within the IT infrastructure. This may be used to avoid proprietary vendor lock-in of a single storage vendor or technology. You can protect your NASs and SANs either directly or indirectly.
- D2D2D rotational archiving: Disk-to-disk-to-disk rotational archiving may be used for disaster recovery and to conserve WAN bandwidth in a multi-premise environment.
- D2D2T rotational archiving: Disk-to-disk-to-tape rotational archiving may be used for disaster recovery and to conserve WAN bandwidth in a multi-premise environment in a situation in which tapes are required by convention.
- Electronic vaulting: Electronic vaulting offers the lowest total cost of ownership in terms of disaster recovery and tends to conserve WAN bandwidth better than SAN-based replication. If sufficient WAN bandwidth exists, SAN-based replication is a viable alternative to electronic vaulting.
