INDIA: Dell announced that it has successfully deployed DL4000 Backup and Recovery Appliance, running Dell AppAssure for MPS Limited, an end-to-end publishing services provider that covers content for print, online and mobile media. With the deployment of solutions, MPS Limited was able to enjoy greater productivity with faster data recovery without any backup runs, it states.

MPS Limited was building a scalable and easy-to-manage IT infrastructure, for which, it needed a backup and recovery solution to match the high-performance environment. The organization chose Dell DL4000 Back Up and Recovery Appliance, running Dell AppAssure software as it proved to be 54 per cent more cost effective than competing cloud based solutions and scored a higher rating in comparison with other competitors, as per an announcement.

“Imagine waiting a day or two days for your data to be returned. It’s a loss of productivity for the employee and the business, and serious cost of up to $24,000 per day – all bad news. With AppAssure, we avoid that situation. Personnel see data returned quickly and stay on top of their workloads and customers are better served”, said Narendra Kumar, Senior Vice President, MPS Limited.

“It is extremely important for every business to choose an effective backup and recovery solution for an uninterrupted business continuity, data protection & investment and dipping the total cost of ownership. Customers using traditional backup and recovery solutions face several challenges with reliability and scalability of these solutions as well as complicated interfaces. ”, said Kumar Mitra, General Manager - Data Backup & Recovery BU, APJ, Dell Software Group.

MPS Limited, as revealed by the companies so far, achieved a number of benefits from the deployment of the Dell product.
