Directory:Sonasoft

Sonasoft Corp. provides compliance, disaster recovery and data protection solutions for the Microsoft platform. Sonasoft is the only company that provides a three in one solution, namely, archiving, replication and backup as part of an integrated solution. Typically, customers have to buy multiple solutions from different vendors to get similar capability. Also, it would cost three to four times more to get comparable functionality offered by Sonasoft’s SonaSafe solution.

Automated Solutions

Sonasoft was founded in 2002 for the purpose of providing software-based solutions that simplify and automate the process of database backup and recovery, centralize the management of multiple servers, and cost-effectively provide a disaster recovery strategy to protect valuable data. The result is higher availability of computer-based information, reduced risk of accidental or deliberate data loss, lower IT costs, and a sound disaster recovery strategy.

Data Protection

The World Trade Center disaster was a wake-up call to corporate executives throughout the world to seriously evaluate the potential impact of a sudden and complete loss of computer data on the continued viability of their organizations. The importance of reliable data backup, recovery, and security have never been as high a priority as they are today.

Exploding Corporate Data

According to analysts, the amount of corporate data is doubling every 6 months. In 2002, it is expected that enterprises will be consuming 12 times the amount they consumed in 1998 (IDC, Dain Rauscher Wessel, 3/22/00).

High Cost of Downtime

Analysts also estimate that between 40% and 60% of all backups aren't recoverable when needed. With the average hourly cost of downtime running somewhere between $50,000 and $2 million, the outcome of an incomplete backup or failed recovery can be devastating (InfoStor, February 2002).

Pressure to Cut Costs

While the need for efficient and reliable data protection is exploding, the current state of the economy is exerting heavy pressure on corporate executives to cut costs in the face of falling profits.
