Addressing the complexities of remote data protection

Remote or branch offices are increasingly at the front lines of business - they have the closest contact with customers and business partners and therefore can have a dramatic impact on the success of the business. Analysts estimate that there are more than four million remote offices in the United States alone.1 Many of these offices run autonomously from headquarters and are responsible for managing their own operations - including protecting and retaining the electronic information that they generate. Ignoring the protection and recovery needs of this remotely stored data is simply not an option.
