HP protects the integrity of your data
and helps you regain access to it.
We have a range of change-ready,
cost-effective, and trusted solutions
that provide the appropriate level
of protection based on your specific
business requirements.
Protect your data and safeguard
your assets
You already know about exponential data growth.
Digital information is doubling every 18 months.
For some, that growth is even faster. Your information
assets are invaluable to your company, so managing
and protecting those assets is a critical priority. Data
loss can impact revenue, your customers, and your
reputation. In fact, some businesses can even fail due
to a data loss or a prolonged period of downtime.
That’s why many companies are looking for solutions
that protect data today—and manage even higher
volumes in the future.
A proactive approach to data protection and
recovery begins with IT—as business, and specifically
business outcomes, depend on the performance, ease
of use, and flexibility of your underlying technology.
Lowering costs, improving operational efficiency and
ROI, and mitigating risk are all achievable outcomes.
But you need the right solution in place with a
solid infrastructure foundation. And protecting your
data also involves keeping it available and rapidly
recoverable. As your dependence on data increases,
achieving these outcomes is even more important.
There are other factors to consider also. You want
cost-effective storage infrastructure. You want to
quickly and easily recover relevant data whenever
and wherever needed. You want to preserve data
integrity through enhanced security. And you want
to meet stringent and changing regulatory mandates
with greater ease.
HP can help you protect the integrity of your data and
regain access to it when you need it. We have a range
of change-ready, cost-effective, and trusted solutions
that provide the appropriate level of protection based
on your specific business requirements. Our data
protection and recovery solutions are compatible and
scalable—growing and adapting to your changing
business demands. They come in a wide variety of
choices, ranging from tape backup to multiple layers of
online, nearline and offline protection. And the newer
technologies—such as disk-to-disk backup, virtual
tape libraries, data deduplication, and low-cost hard
drives—enable you to add layers of data protection
that go beyond traditional solutions at prices that are
more affordable than ever. These include:
backup and recovery performance while also
improving system and user efficiency
