Season's Greetings from Layer47

I want to say a big Merry Christmas to everyone!

It is coming to the end of 2010 and it has been a truly fantastic year for Layer47, witnessing significant business growth, great client acquisitions and new additions to the team. On behalf of all the team here at Layer47, we would like to say a big thank you to all our clients for making 2010 our most successful year to date.

As I’m sure a lot of us do, I have been thinking about my New Year’s Resolution as we head into 2011. So my top resolution for the year (and years to come) is to take blogging more seriously and blog regularly! :)

Shame on me for not sharing all the wonderful happenings throughout 2010, but watch this space for some really exciting events, technologies and news in the year ahead.

Our portfolio (which already boasts best of breed technology solutions) has expanded significantly in 2010 to include next generation Backup & DR solutions. We recently hosted a webinar on ‘Products & Strategies for Best Practice Backup & DR’ which was a tremendous success. This is no surprise given the crucial nature of the technology domain. With the help from our industry expert, we introduced Asigra and Exagrid and discussed how these game changing products can reduce your backup windows and eliminate tape based restores. We focussed on ensuring that business continuity and disaster recovery are achievable in short timescales in order to gain total peace of mind.

In case you missed the webinar, here are a few headlines on each of the solutions:

Asigra
It is practical and beneficial to have Asigra-powered cloud Backup in mission critical environments. This software based technology allows for quick and easy agentless back up over the cloud.

Exagrid
There are no cons to the Exagrid second generation disk-based backup approach. Helps you achieve the fastest backups, restores, and tape copy performance along with market comparable data reduction ratios.

In short Asigra and Exagrid are groundbreaking and unique solutions and I can arrange a free eval for anyone interested – these products really do have to be seen to be believed. :)

(All webinars which Layer47 host are available on demand if you miss out: http://www.layer47.com/webinar_center.html.)

Before I go into sales mode I shall once again wish you all the best for the festive period and hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

Intro

So Layer47 has now joined the social media revolution. Ok, so we are a little late but we even have a twitter account now . ;-) http://www.twitter.com/layer47

Our aim to try and bring together some of the more interesting news, trends and concepts from our partners and suppliers and deliver these highlights in a summarised and hopefully enjoyable package.

I will promise not to let Gavin Leyfield (Head of sales and storage geek extraordinaire) get his hands on the account or you may get a stream of excited tweets on the latest’s and greatest SAN storage technology. (sorry Gav )
