American Data Technology Inc. (ADTI, www.localweb.com) Delivers 99.9% Uptime With AppAssure

RESTON, VA--(Marketwire - March 10, 2009) - AppAssure, a leading provider of enterprise-class backup and disaster recovery software purpose-built for Windows applications, today announced that American Data Technology Inc. (ADTI) has selected AppAssure's Replay AppImage application-protection software to assure its 99.9% uptime promise for its hosted Exchange customers.

ADTI (www.localweb.com), located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, hosts over 2,500 Exchange mailboxes for customers in small businesses and larger enterprises. As it does with all the hosted services it provides, ADTI promises its Exchange customers 99.9% uptime. While they've never failed to meet that service level, ADTI knows that breaking the promise translates directly into lost money.

In order to protect its clients' critical Exchange information, ADTI was using a traditional backup and recovery solution for its Exchange environment, but found it to be "clunky." "Our previous solution was time-consuming to manage," said Mike Salim, vice president and chief technology officer of ADTI. "Downtime could be long, mailbox recovery could take hours, and we couldn't recover individual messages. It's really nice to have that capability."

That's when ADTI turned to AppAssure. During initial product evaluations, Replay AppImage demonstrated its ability to backup and quickly recover servers, mailboxes, and individual messages. Using Replay AppImage's snapshot technology, ADTI spends a lot less time on restoration tasks. "We know that we can now restore a complete mailbox or message in minutes as opposed to hours," added Salim. "And, customers are really happy when you can recover their lost messages."

ADTI currently uses Replay AppImage to protect its Exchange and Blackberry hosting services. Key benefits of the AppAssure solution for ADTI include:

--  Off-host processing of backups to eliminate overhead and deliver
    continuous image protection
--  Data Store Corruption detection to guarantee reliable and predictable
    recoveries
--  Restore capabilities for individual email messages, folders, or
    mailboxes to a live Exchange server or directly to a PST
--  Protection support for the entire BlackBerry infrastructure including
    BES and SQL Servers
    

While ADTI has a customer promise to keep, it also has a business to run and expand. Replay AppImage has made ADTI's Exchange administration and assurance easy so that it can deliver both an affordable and profitable service. In addition, Replay AppImage has turned message-level restore into a value-added service that increases customer satisfaction and in turn has had a direct return on ADTI's customer loyalty.
