DATA BACKUP + RECOVERY
End the
Data Dilemma
Lenovo provides secure, automatic backup
and asset recovery for the lifecycle of
your data—and beyond.
MODERN ORGANISATIONS NEED INSTANT, GLOBAL ACCESS to data and
advances in technology have made this simple. But keeping your data secure,
updated, archived, monitored and ultimately deleted…well, that’s much more diffi cult.
Three solutions from Lenovo can help you improve data security and management,
without sacrifi cing data fl ow.
ONLINE DATA BACKUP
Some or all of your data may be stored on PC hard drives. While that makes it easy
to access, there are several signifi cant drawbacks:
■ PC owners often fail to regularly back up their data.
■ You face the exposure of sensitive or critical data due to loss, theft or inoperability.
■ Storing all of your employees’ My Documents fi les can take up a lot of your internal
storage space. Budget restrictions are forcing many companies to fi nd cost-effective
ways to protect data without using or purchasing new limited-life internal storage.
Lenovo offers a dramatically better way to save money and protect your critical
information conveniently and cost-effectively, online. And best of all, it’s simple to
use for your employees.
Powered by industry-leading storage provider EMC, Lenovo’s Online Backup is
a simple, secure, automatic way to backup and protect data. Using a Web-based
administrative console for easy account management, you either select preconfi gured
backup and recovery settings or customise them for your users. During backup,
copies of your fi les are protected with military-grade encryption, then sent via a
128-bit SSL connection (which is also used for online banking) to a secure data centre.
Schedule backups to run daily, weekly, monthly or automatically throughout the day.
And in the event of data loss on a system, Lenovo even offers a number of convenient
ways to retrieve your data.
Lenovo ® recommends Windows Vista ® Business.
“ We use online data backup as a disasterrecovery
solution because we need our critical
information stored offsite and far away from the
offi ce. We save 75% on our backup costs
while increasing administrative control.”
— Executive of a large charitable organisation using Lenovo backup solutions.
Lenovo’s Online Data Backup is affordable, too. There is no
infrastructure investment, no hardware expenditures, very little
up-front costs and minimal management. All you pay is a yearly
subscription fee.
Protect sensitive and critical data online and take the hassle
out of backup and recovery. Then focus on what’s important
to your organisation.
ASSET RECOVERY SERVICES
End-of-life data security is just as important as protecting data
when it is in your environment. A 2009 survey by Osterman
Research indicates that more than 40% of respondents are
concerned about data security breaches of I.T. assets released
from their organisation. Such breaches can bring penalties as
high as seven fi gures.

END THE DATA DILEMMA
Lenovo’s Asset Recovery Services help you plan and budget
for disposing of end-of-life I.T. equipment, minimise your risks
and protect your brand equity. With the heightened awareness
of data and privacy loss, you don’t want to make headlines
with a breach.
Our disposition of retired data is secure (Department of Defense
level) and documented. While industry-standard practices often
offer only asset-disposal services and charge extra for additional
services—such as data-wipe, logistics, transportation, project
management, Web-tracking, value assessments, disposition
reports and certifi cate of destruction—Lenovo includes all these
services in our base offering.
NO-RETURN HARD DISK DRIVES
Some industry regulations and contracts require you to retain
and control confi dential data internally at all times. Lenovo
offers a solution if you have a defective hard drive or need to
upgrade when relinquishing the bad drive (and letting it leave
the premises) is not an option.
Lenovo’s Hard Disk Drive Retention Service
lets you keep that drive and…
Comply with data-privacy and data-retention rules,
mitigating liability risks.
Eliminate need to track failed drives during transit.
Reduce paperwork for return and tracking.
Protect sensitive data on the drive.

market value, contact your Lenovo
