SAN FRANCISCO -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --
EVault, Inc., a Seagate Company (NASDAQ:STX), today announced the EVault® backup and recovery platform will now take advantage of the Windows Azure cloud platform. In conjunction with this initiative, EVault will be expanding development, sales and marketing collaboration around Windows Azure. EVault Endpoint Protection (EVault EP), a cloud-connected backup, recovery and data security solution for endpoint devices, is available on Windows Azure. EVault EP is targeted at enterprises, as well as midmarket businesses.
EVault Endpoint Protection automates laptop backup recovery and provides secure capabilities - including local file encryption, port access control and, if a laptop is lost or stolen, remote data deletion and device tracing - to help control valuable data spread across mobile workforces. EVault EP enables organizations to secure data on every PC and laptop, ensuring critical corporate information is safe when a device disappears. The endpoint data is automatically backed up to the cloud and can easily be recovered by users themselves. EVault EP offers policy-based, centralized administration and self-service management to help IT attain that perfect balance of corporate control and end user independence.
