Laptop Protection

The growing use of portable devices has highlighted the problem of how to manage the data stored on them. While damaged hardware can easily be replaced, lost data is often gone forever. Companies therefore need to find a way to protect corporate data in a mobile environment. Companies and government organizations are realizing that key data assets are residing outside the company on laptops, and that employees without a lot of technical competence are responsible for safeguarding them.

Statistics shows that:

• 8% of all business data is stored on personal computers
• more than 10% of laptop computers are stolen or fatally damaged every year
• Less than 40% of data is kept on business servers
• All hard disks fail (15% during warranty)
• Only 4% of laptops are ever backed up

How do you ensure that several end users regularly back up critical data on their laptops while they're on the road? Answer: Make it as easy as possible. In todays competitive business environment, those responsible for the design of information systems for their organizations must strive for zero downtime and 100% data availability. For Companies and IT departments that want more control of when, and if, mobile laptops get backed up, Essential's backup solution is the sure way to go.
