COST SAVINGS OF
OUR ONLINE STORAGE SERVICE TO YOU = $3,951 |

You don’t have to worry about
subscription renewals or maintaining the backup unit
itself. After the one-year warranty runs out on the
tape unit you are facing an expensive bill when it breaks
down or you go on an extended warranty for $$$ per year
fees. You also have to account for when it’s not
working properly and those days will run you hours in
tech support focus.
The other issue INVAULT
eliminates is getting your data offsite. Most companies
use Iron Mountain or another pickup/drop-off firm to
handle their disaster recovery tape storage at thousands
per year.
INVAULT
is a best practice application for the entire scenario
mentioned above and cuts costs significantly at the
same time. Let’s not forget the convenience and
ease of use here, because after all, if a product doesn’t
make your life easier, then why would you use it!?
