Join us HERE on May 12th, Wednesday, 1030AM-11:00AM PDT (UTC-7). I'll be there and hope you will too....
In this webinar, we will address how to achieve comprehensive data protection. This process requires the consideration of many variables and constraints around storage, bandwidth, and the preferred backup software. Only then can an IT service provider create a plan and an automated process that provides the necessary coverage against any kind of data loss ranging from “oops I deleted a file” to a power surge frying all the equipment including any local backup storage. Most importantly, it must also balance the critical need for a speedy restore as well as the efficient use of storage and bandwidth.

Symform Company Overview
Symform is a pioneering developer of backup and disaster recovery (BDR) solutions for small businesses based in Seattle, WA. Symform is dedicated to the belief that technology products built on the cooperative, decentralized principles underlying the Internet are inherently more affordable, dependable, and scalable than centralized data-center-based alternatives.
By working closely with its IT Services Provider VARs, Symform delivers a comprehensive and reliable BDR solution that is faster and 10 times cheaper than traditional online services. This is a solution that any business can afford.
Product Overview
The Symform Cooperative Storage CloudTM enables small businesses to implement a BDR solution that is faster, more secure, and ten times cheaper than traditional online backup services. The company was founded on the realization that millions of small businesses have computers with an excess of inexpensive storage capacity, power running 24x7, and unlimited Internet bandwidth – especially nights and weekends. The Symform team has developed software that aggregates this relatively unreliable and un-trusted capacity over the Internet and transforms it into a secure and reliable global storage system. The heart of Symform’s software is a proprietary technology called RAID-96.TM
