Starts at $3935

The new Pulsar MX 5000 RT UPS surpasses competing units with its 0.9 power factor delivering 4500 watts of power, built-in redundancy capabilities, hot-swappable batteries, and power modules, along with integrated output receptacles for true plug- and-play functionality. With up to 18kW, this scalable solution provides the highest power density in the industry.

Designed to deliver the highest level of protection for 20 to 110 servers, the online double-conversion Pulsar MX UPS uses modular redundant architecture that can easily scale power and runtime as demand increases or when users require higher levels of availability. Using only 3U (5.25 inches high) for the combination of power and battery submodules, users can configure the new units as freestanding tower or rack-mounted systems.

With built-in network manageability, the Pulsar MX systems are ideal for protecting high-performance workstations and servers in operation-critical server and network rooms. The 5kVA compact unit features front access hot-swappable battery and power submodules, auto battery-test, multilingual LCD, and intuitive power manage- Yes, We are Customer Friendly! ment software. For extended backup time, users can add external battery modules to achieve up to two hours of runtime. To help preserve battery life, the Pulsar MX 5000 RT units accept wide input voltage and frequency ranges to avoid using the batteries unnecessarily. Standard internal bypass ensures added reliability by supplying utility power to connected equipment in the event of a UPS fault.

Backup encryption and data encryption are undoubtedly required to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and other government-imposed security regulations. Most companies haven't taken backup encryption into consideration and have only secured their data on their systems from theft or misuse via access controls, firewalls, and specialty software. Few have taken into account the repercussions of a lost or stolen tape backup. Once your data is written to tape, it’s completely unprotected. There are no access controls, passwords, or audit trails tied to this data. So without a tape backup encryption solution, all security efforts made thus far are useless. This is why a tape backup encryption solution is necessary.

Your tape backup data is your most critical asset and its potential value for abuse by STORServer Business Continuity Appliances are a suite of fully integrated data people outside of your organization is enormous.

The Lexmark X646ef is the first MFP in its class to feature a standard scan preview function to allow users to view a scanned document before it is processed. It is also the first MFP in its class to feature a USB port to allow users to scan to or print PDFs and images from a USB flash storage device directly from the operating panel. The Lexmark X646ef is the only MFP in its class with a color touchscreen interface and offers the fastest print speed in its class at up to 50ppm. Breece Hill’s BizGuardian™ delivers an automated, highly reliable networked data protection solution for small to medium-sized businesses and departments of distributed enterprises. The new appliance integrates EMC Retrospect backup and recovery software with the speed of disk and the portability of tape, providing protection for more servers in less time.

BizGuardian is the only disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) appliance that fully integrates hardware and software into an easy to own, operate, and manage package.

Easiest to own – Get best-practice backup and recovery strategies out-of-the-box. Backup operations are automatically adjusted without the need for manual intervention; desktops and notebooks are automatically backed up when logged on to the network; and AES-encrypted tapes are created for safe offsite storage. Maintain continuous data protection with built-in disaster recovery (DR) using bare metal restore standards.

Easiest to operate – Eliminate the need for 50 full backups each year. Unlike other backup applications, you’ll get fast backups and unparalleled restore accuracy. Other backup applications can only provide this level of restore accuracy to the day a full backup was performed.

Easiest to manage – No more complex strategies to protect against backup media failure or site-wide disasters. Eliminate complex tape rotation. Create two sets of tapes, one onsite for backup and restores, the other offsite for safety. Rotating 800-LEXMARK tapes is vastly simplified with BizGuardian. www.Processor.com/BreeceHill8 www.Processor.com/Lexmark Breece Hill LLC 246 South Taylor Ave Louisville, CO 80027 740 New Circle Road NW Toll-Free: (800) 941-0550 Lexington, KY 40550
