StorageCraft Announces ShadowXafe - Next Generation Data Protection Solution for Total Business Continuity

Powerful and Flexible SLA-Driven Data Protection for Virtual and Physical Environments with Orchestrated One-Click Cloud Recovery Eliminates Downtime

LONDON, Aug. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- System downtime can cost businesses a tremendous amount of money in lost productivity and revenue. According to the Aberdeen Group, the average cost of downtime for businesses has grown to $260,000 an hour.¹ As a result, organisations are desperately seeking ways to achieve improved reliability and availability in their data backup and management. In fact, according to Gartner, "By 2022, 40% of organizations will augment or replace their backup applications from what they deployed at the beginning of 2018."² To solve this dilemma, StorageCraft®, whose mission is to protect all data and ensure its constant availability, today announced ShadowXafe™, an advanced next-generation data-protection solution.
