Bundling Asigras cloud backup services with other products, Layer 8 offers cost-effective packages for organisations looking to protect their data without the financial, technical and human burden of an in-house solution.
"The cloud backup and recovery market has been growing steadily over the past years, and is expected to continue on this trend in 2012, said Carla Arend, analyst at IDC. By using the cloud, end users have access to a secondary site for disaster recovery and free up floor space in their own data centres, which otherwise would have been used for backup systems. Improved management tools from cloud backup vendors simplify the backup management process."
