Proven client success

Data protection has become a very complex problem – different types of data with different values to the organization; a wide range of different threats from an accidental deletion to a regional disaster; varied RPO and RTO requirements. FilesX customers have encountered many of these challenges in backup and recovery processes. The “adaptive data protection” approach taken by FilesX addresses this complexity by providing a full suite of capabilities, all driven by business policies on a per-application basis.

The FilesX Virtual Recovery technology makes protected data available within a couple of minutes while data is recovered in the background. Customers can gain immediate access to whatever they lost——a single file or e-mail, an entire volume or even an entire system——from any point in time, either locally or at a Disaster Recovery site.
