These are just a few of the challenging questions facing businesses today.

To protect against natural disasters or other catastrophic events, most companies reply on tape-based backup or high availability. Companies looking to manage this challenging issue find cost effective solutions with UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup & DRaaS.
