What others say about the product
We chose Data Protector as that meets all our physical and virtual data storage requirements. It provides great integration with our existing infrastructure, and we received excellent support from OpenText during the evaluation and decision process.
In a 24/7 operation like Almac, with many live production systems, it is vital that we streamline and secure our backup processes. We have successfully achieved the transition to Data Protector while meeting all regulatory and complaince requirements.
For more than 20 years, Data Protector has been our standard Level 2 and Level 3 tool for data backups in an IT landscape that has developed heterogeneously. Restore requirements can be implemented quickly and reliably with Data Protector.
