Press Release
Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, August 02, 2004 – Syncsort Incorporated is pleased to announce that the Southern California office of Young & Rubicam Brands, one of the top global advertising and integrated marketing firms, has selected Backup Express, Syncsort's high-performance enterprise backup solution to manage the backup of its critical data.
Young & Rubicam Brands selected Backup Express for its speed, scalability and flexibility. "Our backup windows shrink as our data increases," said Julian Bardi, System Administrator at Young & Rubicam Brand's Irvine, CA, office. "The advertising business is unpredictable -- it's very difficult to say what your needs are going to be down the road. Flexibility and scalability are key." Another important reason Young & Rubicam Brands chose Backup Express was its technical support. "Service is a big thing to me," noted Bardi. "What I really like is a quick response and answers and help. I've been happy with Syncsort support, they've been very responsive."
Recently, the agency upgraded to Backup Express 2.2, which offers users innovative technology, flexibility and manageability in a heterogeneous environment. Among the enhanced features that Bardi now takes advantage of are the browser-based GUI and expanded reporting capabilities. "With this latest version, the two biggest features are the multi-tasking and the reporting. The fact that you can do more than one thing at once, that's a tremendous timesaver," he observed.
"Julian Bardi's experience with Backup Express in his enterprise environment illustrates the clear advantages this data protection solution has over competitors," said Dan Regan, Syncsort's Executive Vice President. "Backup Express is also highly and widely praised for its excellence in technical support, as Julian testifies."
