Business Partners and over 450
customers choose BridgeHead Software because our products
work, they are flexible and heterogeneous. As data
volumes continue to grow, we help customers tackle
the data expansion issue.We have become their data
management partner of choice. How?
The world’s information production grows 30% per
year. Five years ago it was at 5 exabytes with
92% of data being stored on hard disks. By 2010
it will be zettabyte sizes. What size will storage
be?
Costs - We reduce them
Storing growing volumes of data can't be fixed by buying more storage hardware. The initial investment may be low, but managing, administering and protecting costs up to 13x the original investment. BridgeHead offers you a different approach. We locate your dormant data, and migrate it to a user accessible, yet protected, repository. This reduces your spiralling data growth costs and in some cases has even helped companies delay a SAN upgrade by 18 months.
Backups - We reduce them
Users are demanding IT to be available 24/7, placing increased pressure on backup windows. Meanwhile, most CIOs recognize that up to 80% of their data is no longer accessed, yet it's still being regularly backed up. BridgeHead identifies this static data and migrates it to a protected repository. It can now be freed from the backup cycle, meaning you have significantly less data to back up.
Secured and backed up data - we make it easier to access
In 2006, IDC estimated that an organization with 1000 information workers loses in excess of $5 million due to time wasted on failed information searches. BridgeHead cuts time wasting by categorizing data in a searchable index making it easier for IT managers and users to find, by launching the BridgeHead search engine and looking for your data as you would with a web browser.
Quick Single File Restores - We enable them
We often hear IT managers struggling with and trying to avoid single file restores. BridgeHead puts your archived data on a variety of media types and allows your users direct access into the archive. Users locate the files they need, when they need them. You don't have to search a number of old tapes to restore a single lost file.
Data Protection - We enable it and make it efficient
Data is one of the most valuable assets an organization has - it needs protecting and safe guarding. BridgeHead allows you to take up to four copies of data at the same time, and place them on a variety of platforms and in different locations. This ensures protection regardless of where your data needs to be stored, or the hardware chosen to store it now, or in the future.
Delivering Green IT - We enable this too
In 2008 storage overtook servers as the biggest consumer of power in the data center. This goes against the push for companies to be 'greener'. BridgeHead simplifies the removal of data off environment inefficient SANs and onto more efficient technologies. This makes it easier to deploy the greenest form of data storage infrastructure, reducing your data's carbon footprint and the environmental costs of data storing. |
