Press Release
Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, January 25, 2005 – Syncsort Inc. is pleased to announce that Mohave County, a local government agency of Arizona, has entered into an agreement to license Backup Express, Syncsort's high-performance enterprise-wide backup and restore software technology.
"Backup and data protection have become mission-critical processes, and therefore we needed a solution that offered not only ease of use and flexible deployment, but was completely reliable, with enterprise-wide coverage," said Nathan McDaniel, Network Services Manager of Information Technology with Mohave County. "We needed to move away from our existing enterprise backup software because it did not support Cluster Services for NetWare. Backup Express is the perfect solution for our mixed environment."
"Mohave County's selection of Backup Express confirms the strength of our backup and restore solution for enterprise-wide data protection, especially for heterogeneous environments including NetWare," said Dan Regan, senior vice president, Syncsort. "Backup Express will provide Mohave County with a scalable solution that will grow with their evolving data security needs throughout the enterprise."
