Data Protection

One of the fastest growing segments in the software industry is Software as a Service (SaaS). Think of Salesforce.com, Google Apps, Microsoft Dynamics Online, Netsuite, or 37 Signals Basecamp. These applications run on servers managed by someone else and customers access their data over the web. The customer's data is stored on the managed servers and is typically only accessible through the application's user interface. As more companies begin to migrate much of their critical data into these applications basic IT principles are becoming a requirement.

The top concerns of customers evaluating SaaS applications revolve around data privacy, security and access. Customers are asking key questions about data ownership, backup, archiving and migration. When a customer's data is stored on the servers of an application provider, the customer still owns that data and a key requirement must be accessing it in a neutral way.

Centripetal Software products, Centripetal Retrieve™, Centripetal Archive™ and Centripetal Migrate™, provide the ability for a customer of a SaaS application to retrieve full and incremental snapshots of their data so that they can access it at anytime, archive it in ways of their choosing, or migrate to competing services with zero downtime.
