Enabling Centralized Configuration, Deployment and Monitoring of Continuous Data Protection of the Mobile Workforce.

Data maintained and edited on laptops represent one of the largest data repositories for companies today, yet are the least protected digital asset. In fact, industry trends show that up to 60% of corporate information is at risk. This trend will continue to grow as laptops become more prevalent as desktop replacements. While traditional backup solutions have focused on the server infrastructure within IT environments, data stored outside of these servers have been neglected – and thus are at risk. As workforce mobility increases, what are your plans to meet this growing challenge?
Challenges
How do you handle the different connectivity states of a laptop user (i.e. “on net” when in the corporate office, “off net but connected remotely” when at home or in a hotel, and “temporarily disconnected” when working while on a flight)?
How do you centrally configure, deploy and monitor a back-up solution in real time for a system that is constantly mobile?
How do you ensure back-ups occur to the central corporate storage infrastructure without creating complex processes that require end-user actions?
How do you ensure efficient and secure data transfer from anywhere in the world?
Did you know PeerSync can do this?
The PeerSync Laptop Backup Package for the Enterprise Mobile Workforce addresses each of these challenges and enables centralized configuration, deployment and monitoring of continuous data protection for laptops.
While there are many solutions and methodologies trying to address this need today, a comprehensive review of requirements should be made to ensure that any product chosen meets all the complex challenges presented from a mobile workforce.
