FilesX UNVEILS INFORMATION RECOVERY PLATFORM PRODUCT SUITE

FilesX Inc, a provider of next-generation data recovery solutions, announced the full release of its patented Information Recovery Platform. The FilesX recovery platform is the storage industry's first disk-based data recovery solution to offer comprehensive granular data recovery control from a single data backup. The Xpress Restore platform streamlines the data recovery process and provides customers with the ability to restore servers from bare-metal, volume, file and application data. The Xchange Restore module enables fast recovery of individual e-mails, mailboxes, attachments, contacts, notes and calendar data with "Point, Click and Recover" simplicity.

"The FilesX recovery platform combines the speed and accessibility of disk-based data storage with features like granular data recovery and seamless integration with existing systems. The product suite provides a sophisticated alternative to customers who require reliable, rapid data recovery," said Jacob Farmer, CTO and founder of Cambridge Computer Services, a systems integrator that specializes in data storage and backup. "Customers come to us looking for the best in the business to handle their data storage requirements. Businesses have strived to achieve reliable data backup for a long time, but time-to-recovery is the real issue facing IT departments in today's business environment. Data loss and downtime affects the bottom line -- lost productivity, diversion of technical resources, potential loss of data and loss of customer confidence. The FilesX recovery platform is a valuable tool that enables us to offer our customers the most comprehensive, rapid data recovery solution in the market."

"Our customers are very clear about their data backup and recovery needs -- they want a reliable, robust system that protects information and allows them to recover specific data with the same ease as moving a file into a folder," said Frank Jablonski, senior product marketing manager at FilesX. "Our goal is to fulfill these needs by providing functionality and flexibility that is unique in the storage industry. This product release is the first step in fulfilling our mission to transform how businesses approach data recovery."

Ray Paquet, vice president and research director with Gartner Research, supports the FilesX model of rapid data recovery.

"Gartner believes that recovery tools which focus on application recovery with continuous consistent data capture will be necessary to meet the increasingly shorter Recovery Time Objective (RTO) requirements of today's business environment. Tools that can provide system, volume, file and application level recovery from a single data capture will be invaluable to ensure that critical data is restored rapidly," said Paquet.

The FilesX recovery platform enables customers to tailor data backup to their specific business requirements and to respond quickly to data loss or corruption with minimal impact on the organization. The patented Unified Restore technology enables granular data recovery that is unique in the storage industry, combining the recovery strengths of mirroring, snapshot and file backup. The technology enables recovery of all types of data through an intuitive Windows-based console, integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure and requires no investment in proprietary hardware.

• The Xpress Restore platform achieves a storage industry first by enabling recovery of application content, files, volumes and overall systems, including MS Exchange and SQL databases, from a single snapshot.
• The Xchange Restore module offers unique e-mail protection and recovery for Exchange servers, including granular restoration of an individual e-mail or an entire mailbox, including attachments, contacts, notes, calendar entries and tasks with advanced search functionality and a Windows-based interface.
