Online Backup

Data and 'peace of mind' can exist...

Come Alive (CA) Online Backup delivers an industry-leading offsite data backup and restore solution for desktop and laptop computers as well as servers. By automating the backup function, CA Online Backup enables you to eliminate any of the risks inherently encountered with other traditional backup means and in so doing, better protect valuable corporate information, reducing support costs and relieving the burden of the backup on either inexperienced staff or IT personnel.

While many organisations have desktop and laptop backup procedures in place, the overwhelming majority of IT managers will tell you that these procedures are either too clumsy to implement or just not enforceable. In fact the Gartner Group puts the percentage of unsecured corporate data at over 50%. CA Online Backup is a client side system that puts this data back under the control of the IT department without burdening either user or IT staff. Intelligent, automated file gathering and transfer is key and CA Online Backup provides this securely and transparently.

43% of companies that experience a severe data loss disaster without any recovery plan in place - never re-open. 99% of all business do not do a daily backup. Simply put, CA Online Backup maximizes employee productivity, improves IT management, and enables businesses to retain ownership of their most valuable asset - their data!

No corporate backup policy, no matter how comprehensive, can effectively manage the risk associated with company data that users store on local PC hard-drives. There is no doubt that the cost to company, of lost, deleted or corrupted data that resides on PCs is massive and despite all the best intentions of IT Managers to implement a comprehensive backup policy, users are ill-disciplined and in most cases do not save or back up data to network file servers.

One of the most unfair and unexplainable facts is the way in which companies rely and place the responsibility of company critical backups on one single person – very often a junior employee!

Any company that has any information stored on any computer and does not make use of an off-site backup storage facility, is being negligent.

It is imperative that organisations extend their backup model to include PC hard-drives as well and therefore mitigate the risk that faces them each day. The CA Online Backup product is able to offer an effective, low cost solution to this problem.
