Unprecedented data growth makes planning and budgeting impossible.

MDS Secure Backup Vault requires no upfront capital investment and is charged on a per GB / month basis.

The traditional planning and budgeting constraints are removed allowing you to plan based on a fixed cost for data backup / restore.

Regulatory requirements demand that data is retained for longer or sometimes indefinitely.

Data can be retained within the MDS Secure Backup Vault for longer periods and optional tape vaulting is available.

Data retention requirements can be met at a much lower cost per GB, without the management overhead normally associated and you can retrieve data from the vault at any time.

Disaster Recovery plans require an offsite copy of the data.

Every backup taken is replicated offsite to the MDS Secure Backup Vault on completion. De-duplication technology ensures efficient replication offsite and recovery.

Removes the need to rely on (unreliable) tape media being shipped offsite to meet the Disaster Recovery requirement and reduces the overall cost. Advanced storage technology reduces the required bandwidth.

Constant change within your organisation.

MDS offers complete flexibility on the configuration of the backup environment without the typical penalties associated.

Your organisation can plan for change without the normal concerns over wasted investments in backup, secure in the knowledge that the data is always backed up.

Your backup windows is shrinking as your organisation moves towards 24x7 operations.

Advanced disk de-duplication technology ensures backups are faster and more efficient than using tape media.

All backups are to a local disk appliance to ensure the fastest possible backup and restore operations.

IT budget constraints result in lack of resource to manage day to day operations and new projects.

MDS will manage the vault process from start to finish.

Frees up your valuable resource to focus on project work and allows scalability without having to employ more staff.

Traditional tape based solutions are unreliable and hinder backup / restore times.

Tape is eliminated from the primary backup and offsite process. All backup / restore operations are from disk.

Backup / restore operations are no longer at risk of failure due to tape issues, and a local backup to disk appliance ensure optimum throughput operations and new projects.
