When it comes to protecting data on desktops and laptops, today’s IT Administrators are faced with a daunting challenge. Due to the increasing mobility of mission critical data and the inability to protect data outside of the corporate data-centre, the need for a new data protection solution is critical. In the past, providing protection for desktop and laptop systems has been cumbersome and expensive. Resource constraints have led companies to resort to largely ineffective ad-hoc solutions for protecting desktop and laptop data. The most popular method for protecting desktop and laptop data is to provide networks shares for users and ask them to manually and routinely copy their data to these shares. This not only puts data at risk if users do not take the time to manually protect their data, it also puts IT in jeopardy of failing to meet their service level agreements.

 

Many IT Administrators readily admit that most of their users do not copy their data to shares frequently enough to provide effective data protection. The result is data loss. The cost to retrieve or recreate this data is staggering. In addition, laptops pose the greatest challenge because their users are typically on the road, have infrequent connections to the network and rarely take the time to manually protect their data. To add complexity to the situation, there is also a growing population of users that want to keep files synchronized between their desktop and laptop machines.
