Storage World - Long Beach, Calif. (USA) and London (UK) : June 20 2006
WysDM Software, Inc., a leading provider of innovative data protection management (DPM) solutions, announced today that it has achieved a major milestone: signing its 100th customer. Global leaders in aerospace, financial services, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, and service providers have standardised on WysDM solutions to manage and protect all aspects of their backup environment.

"Up until a year ago, data protection management was primarily about backup reporting," said Arun Taneja, founder, the Taneja Group. "Solutions, such as WysDM's, offer more advanced capabilities that allow organisations to apply business intelligence to their entire backup and recovery network. This is a significant step forward in the evolution of the DPM market and for enterprises who must meet SLA demands and stringent regulatory requirements to ensure that data is protected and always available."

Sales of WysDM DPM solutions are rapidly gaining momentum in North America, EMEA, and the Asia-Pacific region. The company's success is fuelled by its premier OEM and channel partners, including EMC, Avamar, Cambridge Computer, MTI, NextWare, n3k, Posetiv, STORMATRIX, and TriSys. To support its explosive growth - 400 per cent over the last 12 months - WysDM has extended operations to Japan and Germany while expanding its presence in the United States and United Kingdom. This expansion, which includes additional headcount, new offices and new partners, sets a solid foundation for the company's future growth.

Orange Business Services, one of the world's largest multi-national telecommunications companies, is using WysDM for data protection and greater visibility into its backup and recovery operations. "For Orange, backups are about reliability as well as profitability - servicing clients within their SLAs requires performing consistent, accurate backups within a window," said Doug Bovie, Orange's head of Infrastructure Management. "WysDM shows me where bottlenecks or potential issues reside, so proactive measures can be taken to prevent problems before they occur."

WysDM has the only DPM solution that provides not only world class reporting, but also predictive analytics, enabling customers to manage even the largest and most complex backup and recovery environments. WysDM's Cross-Domain Correlation analyses information from all major components of the data protection environment, including servers, storage, networks, and applications, to predict vulnerabilities before a problem occurs. WysDM's adaptive architecture, combined with advanced service-level reporting and predictive analytics, ensures optimal performance of critical backup, recovery and fileserver environments.

"Signing our 100th customer is a testament to WysDM's success in delivering the most complete data protection management solutions available," said Alan Atkinson, president and CEO of WysDM. "Seventy-five per cent of our customer base is comprised of enterprises who demand far more than just reporting capabilities; back up reporting doesn't even scratch the surface of what enterprises look for to protect their data. Our DPM solution gives them a clear view at all levels to quickly assess what is going on in their backup infrastructure and take action before a failure happens. With significant customer traction, expansion into new global markets, and a strong partner ecosystem, we are poised to dominate this market opportunity."
