Abstract: | A new disaster recovery initiative is just being launched in the US by 20 vendors. The vendors including Dell Computer, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Sun Microsystems and led by Quantum Systems have launched Prove-IT to offer the small and medium-sized business continuity and archiving services. Prove-IT is aimed at companies with annual revenue between $50 million and $500 million. There are plans to expand the initiative to Europe, according to Margaret Pereira, spokesperson for Quantum, but she gave “six months to a year” as a time frame for when the programme may move overseas. |
