Minnesota School District Aces Data Protection With ROBOBAK

Posted on: Monday, 23 March 2009, 07:30 CDT

De-duplication of files, affordable pricing helps ROBOBAK v9 pass the test, safeguard data from more than 4,000 students and staff

ALEXANDRIA, Minn., March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- ROBOBAK(TM), the leader in agentless data protection software designed for remote and branch offices, today announced that Alexandria School District 206, based about two hours west of Minneapolis, has selected its v9 Data Protection Suite to protect a full range of data from the district's 4,000 students, teachers and administrators.

With eight schools spread over almost 500 square miles, a centralized data protection strategy became a key element in the district's IT operations, said Mathew Herges, the district's Network/Hardware Specialist. "While we use advanced fiber optics, we were seeking a solution that would allow us to easily and centrally protect all of our data from these disparate locations," he said. After evaluating several competing products, Herges and his team chose ROBOBAK, citing its at-the-source de-duplication capabilities, and its significant price advantage. "This was important to us as an agency that deals with taxpayers' dollars; we wanted to show definite value for the money spent, and ROBOBAK enabled us to do that."

ROBOBAK's v9 Data Protection Suite, introduced last year, incorporates a full set of sophisticated technology that makes it easier for companies to protect corporate-critical information. One prominent industry analyst recently wrote that v9 "offers significant advantages in dealing specifically with backup window, recovery point objective (RPO), and bandwidth issues."

"Even small and mid-sized organizations have significant data needs," said Ron Roberts, ROBOBAK's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Bandwidth issues are critical, especially when they are trying to gather data from multiple locations. This requires them to seek advance solutions that enable maximum throughput with the minimum effort." Roberts added that ROBOBAK's at-the-source de-duplication capability, along with its exclusive Thin Backup Option for Exchange databases and in-flight encryption, makes it possible for companies of all sizes to meet those requirements at a price significantly below competing products.

ROBOBAK's v9 Data Protection Suite software is available exclusively through its worldwide channel of resellers and managed service providers. More information can be obtained at www.robobak.com, or by calling 404.ROBOBAK.
