SunGard’s Electronic Vaulting is a reliable, efficient and cost-effective backup technology that is vastly superior to old-fashioned tape. The problems commonly associated with tape backups make it an inflexible, slow and unreliable backup technology. Electronic Vaulting will save you time and money and help you recover more quickly should disaster strike.
Electronic Vaulting limits your exposure
Daily backups are transmitted, either over the internet or via dedicated communications links, directly to disk in a highly secure technology centre. The backed up data is then automatically copied to a second, geographically separate technology centre for added peace of mind.
Benefits at a glance
- You save the time spent on changing tapes and administration.
- You don’t have to wait for backup tapes to be delivered to a recovery server during testing or in the event of disaster. This can save an entire business day.
- You eliminate the problems such as lost tapes and corrupted data commonly associated with tape backups resulting in a higher success rate.
- You avoid the inherent security risks of handing over sensitive information to a third party.
- You avert the logistical problems of transporting tapes when a district is locked down.
- Data retrieval is quick and easy, with information accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Are you storing information you don’t need?
Did you know that, according to leading analyst Gartner, up to 80 percent of online data is never used again?
SunGard recommends you commission a Data Profiling exercise before adopting electronic vaulting. This differentiates your business-critical information from the redundant, duplicate and non-business data. The analysis helps you clarify your data recovery priorities and ensures you store, manage and recover the information that matters to your business effectively.
