Overview:
The new IBM Comprehensive Data Protection Solution Express includes hardware and software that
mid–sized or anizations need to enhance data protection capabilities in a Windows environment.

remote work roups and central office environments. And for those who need application and server
level protection, Fastback makes recovery of transactions, emails and even servers quick and
simple.
