Asempra Delivers Enterprise Class Continuous Data Protection For CD&L, Inc.

Asempra Technologies, a pioneer in the development and implementation of enterprise-level data protection and real-time recovery management solutions, today announced that CD&L has implemented the Asempra Business Continuity Server (BCS) to protect their Windows environment in real-time. Asempra's BCS provides companies such as CD&L with continuous data availability, allowing companies to protect and instantly recovery data in real-time.

CD&L is using Asempra's Business Continuity Server to protect and instantly recover Microsoft Exchange data, SQL databases and Windows file servers. CD&L is a national leader in the customized full-service, time critical same-day ground delivery industry. CD&L has more than 11,000 customers in 92 locations, and over 3,500 contactors and employees.

"In the past few years we have evaluated a number of continuous data protection solutions but none of them could deliver the enterprise-class robustness required for a real-time business like ours," said David Kronick, CIO, CD&L. "But then we learned about the Asempra BCS and its ability to provide continuous data availability for my applications. After having worked with the product for the past eight months, it is evident that the capabilities of the product far exceed those of competitive offerings."

The Asempra Business Continuity Server is a real-time recovery management platform that delivers transaction-aware continuous data protection with guaranteed data integrity and instant recovery. The Asempra BCS protects application data in its most efficient form -- at the byte level -- as application transaction events occur in real-time, enabling dramatic savings in network and storage utilization. Implementing an Asempra BCS solution enables customers to provide continuous data availability for their applications by eliminating backup windows and driving recovery downtime to seconds.

"We are excited to have CD&L as our valued customer and partner," said Marty Ward, vice president of products and marketing. "Right from the beginning they shared our vision of providing an integrated solution that can protect application data locally or remotely in order to insure continuous data availability. By continuing to deliver solutions for CD&L, we enable them to deliver for their 11,000 customers."
