I am writing to tell you about a recent discovery that can protect your data at a fraction of the cost. It is an online data backup and disaster recovery system for the IBM System i (iSeries/AS400) and most other platforms, including Intel (Windows), UNIX and Linux.

Vault400 can cost about 70 to 80% LESS than typical Disaster Recovery solutions and can provide long-term data retentions that are available online around the clock, all year long. It's design is safe and secure as well as brilliantly conceived to protect your critical data - and their user list includes major Fortune 500 companies as well as small to mid-size companies like yours.

And It Kicks the Socks Off the Competition - at Any Price!

Here are four Key Advantages of Vault400:

1. Disk-to-Disk Backup Eliminates Manual Intervention
   For starters, Vault400 utilizes disk-to-disk backup. This eliminates labor-intensive manual and error-prone tasks that are associated with traditional tape backup solutions.

2. Saving only the Changed Data Minimizes Backup Time
   Vault400 incorporates an innovative "Delta" technology. This technology minimizes the amount of data that needs to be sent offsite, while achieving the equivalent of a full backup every time. At regular intervals that you set, the Agent "wakes up" at the assigned time and analyzes the data file changes that occurred since the previous backup, including changes to all native objects, DB2 databases, IFS data and system data. By leveraging Delta technology, the iSeries Agent is able to significantly reduce backup times compared with traditional tape-based solutions.

3. Compression Shrinks Amount to Send Off-Site Data Vault and Transfer Time
   Next, the native saved changes are compressed so less data needs to be transferred to the remote offsite vault.

   Further, backups can be configured in parallel streams to allow better utilization of system resources, resulting in faster backup times. Parallelization can also be achieved on restore, allowing faster restore times when compared with twin traditional tape-based offsite backup solutions.

4. Encryption Protects Critical Data Transferred, Vaulted and Retrieved
   Finally, Vault400 features over-the-wire encryption capabilities for increased security. This helps to ensure that your critical data is safe as it is transmitted and stored. Quite simply, Vault400 dramatically reduces the time required to perform the backup. It compresses the unique changes that are saved, and immediately transmits the data to an offsite secure data vault for recovery or testing.
