Incremental backup ability, automated data protection operations
seen as key to decision for company with $1.6 billion in assets
MINOT, N.D., Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Investors Real Estate Trust
(NASDAQ: IRET), a self-advised equity real estate investment trust,
today announced it has chosen ROBOBAK's Version 8 Data Protection
Suite software to protect corporate-critical data from its offices
throughout the north-central United States. With offices in Minot,
Omaha and Minneapolis, and assets of more than $1.6 billion, IRET
owns a diversified portfolio of income-producing properties. IRET's
multi-family residential, office, medical, industrial and retail
properties are located in 13 states, primarily in the Upper
Midwest. The need to protect hundreds of gigabytes of information
grows by the day, as a way of helping IRET deliver ongoing value to
its shareholders. "We have been using tape as our primary backup
medium, but realized the value of automating the data protection
process," said Josh Johnson, IRET's network administrator. "ROBOBAK
installs simply, and allows us to shorten data backups by
automatically transmitting only data that has been added or changed
since the previous backup. This will help us centralize our data
protection efforts, and allow us to move information offsite for an
additional level of protection, something that was far more
difficult before ROBOBAK." Introduced earlier this year, ROBOBAK's
Version 8 Data Protection Suite software offers a full range of
advanced features, enabling companies to adopt a unified approach
in protecting data from remote and branch locations. With
advantages such as agentless installation, "real-world" continuous
data protection (CDP), auto-discovery, source-based file
de-duplication, and support for Microsoft Exchange 2007, SQL Server
and more, ROBOBAK has rapidly become the leader in agentless remote
data protection software. "Companies like IRET, with multiple
remote offices and a need to centrally protect their information,
benefit from ROBOBAK's ease of installation and operation," said
Ron Roberts, ROBOBAK's President and Chief Executive Officer. "They
also benefit from our focus on helping protect personally
identifiable information (PII) from unauthorized access." A recent
white paper from the Taneja Group called on companies to adopt a
stringent set of best practices to safeguard data against
unauthorized access or loss. The report noted that ROBOBAK can be
used as a foundation to help companies protect PII, spanning issues
such as data integrity, data security, data protection,
authentication, auditing, and data disposition. More information
