Disk backup provides excellent reliability
and performance
Textile manufacturer Himatsingka Seide chose an
HP StoreOnce disk backup solution for its business-critical
data. The new solution is faster and more reliable than its
previous tape backup, and allows replication across multiple
sites. HP de-duplication technology enables more data to be
stored, reducing the overall cost.
