BURLINGTON, Ontario, July 30 ROBOBAK-Chosen-Data
BURLINGTON, Ontario, July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- He may only be a small
businessman, working with small- to medium-sized businesses, but Wade Weppler
knows a large headache when he gets it. And he was getting them on a regular
basis, because of his provider of online backup services.
Weppler runs WW Works (http://www.wwworks.com), a managed services
provider, located 45 minutes southwest of Toronto. He began including online
backup in his suite of services to his clients, and signed up with Mozy, an
online service owned by EMC; he said he chose Mozy as a way of keeping his
support costs to a minimum.
But while Weppler says Mozy did a decent job of backing up desktop
computers, he wasn't satisfied with its ability to protect mission-critical
systems. "The reliability wasn't at the level where we required it to be," he
said. "When our customers needed to recover their important files and
applications, finding and quickly accessing them didn't meet their recovery
time or point objectives."
So, Weppler began searching for a replacement for Mozy, and with the help
of a top executive at Asigra, a ROBOBAK competitor, found ROBOBAK's(TM)
Version 8 Data Protection Suite software. Weppler quickly grew to appreciate
Version 8's ability to natively handle backups of Exchange and SQL Server, as
well as its agentless installation. "It saves us incredible amounts of time,
when you consider that every one of our clients is, in essence, a remote or
branch office to us. ROBOBAK's ability to install at a location in as little
as 15 minutes is perfect for a company like ours," he noted.
"Big firms with large amounts of marketing dollars, like Mozy, may get the
headlines; ROBOBAK's performance repeatedly proves itself when going up
against those firms," said Ron Roberts, ROBOBAK's president and chief
executive officer. He also noted that ROBOBAK's combination of features and
pricing makes it competitive with even the largest online backup firms, such
as Symantec's Backup.com.
Weppler said that combination is important to him, especially as WW Works
continues to grow. He added that ROBOBAK's capacity-based pricing allows him
to scale easily, without the usual headaches of other backup products that
charge by seats or sites. "ROBOBAK has proven its value for the money," he
said. "We've found it to be less expensive on a per-gigabyte basis than Mozy.
That's more than just a cost comparison; we have found that ROBOBAK delivers
true worth."
ROBOBAK Version 8 Data Protection Suite software is available in the
Standard and Enterprise editions for larger firms. More information about
ROBOBAK Version 8 is available from the company's website,
http://www.ROBOBAK.com, or by calling 404.ROBOBAK.
