• Easy Deployment and Management– Real-time collaboration with colleagues or the EVault Customer Service team via a special social platform portal, the ability to manage and monitor the health of the backup environment, and troubleshoot failed backups with greater speed and accuracy.
• Compression and Data Duplication– Front-end data deduplication uses EVault delta block-level processing technology to ensure only new and changed data blocks within files are sent to storage, decreasing backup times.
• Compliance with Data Protection Policies and Regulations– EVault Reports provide instant, centralized and accurate information about the entire backup and recovery process. To retain data for more than a year, the cloud-based long term retention service lets clients manage their data retention from the same user interface as their backups.
