collaboration between i365 and Microsoft to establish the first and only
heterogeneous disk-based data protection solution that allows IT

across non-Microsoft platforms and into the Cloud. The solution uses
i365’s EVault
data protection software and Cloud-Connected
storage solutions infrastructure.
Paul Hickingbotham, solutions manager at storage distributor Hammer,
said, "Our new distribution agreement will allow our channel customers
to benefit from the award-winning EVault product line. Their
collaboration with Microsoft on System Center DPM 2010 integration truly
strengthens their EVault portfolio.”
“We are delighted that Hammer will be distributing the suite of EVault
data protection software and Cloud-Connected services,” said Terry

remote disaster recovery, vault- and subscription-based replication, and
bare metal restores. We look forward to partnering with Hammer to
protect even more of Europe’s data.”
EVault for DPM is an all-in-one backup and recovery appliance that
combines DPM’s unified data protection for Microsoft Windows servers and
applications with EVault’s robust protection for non-Microsoft platforms

their DPM and EVault-protected backup data to the i365 Cloud and benefit
from offsite disaster recovery protection quickly and economically.
