CellularManager® application and lock down the sensitive data on our servers using 256-bit encryption. Since we are hosting sensitive consumer data within our infrastructure, we wanted to make sure that no one could make use of the data on our servers in the event of a network breach," said Timothy Maliyil, President and CEO,

MarketWire: Data Guard Systems Consolidates Hardware and Slashes Data Center Power Consumption by 80%
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- July 11, 2006 --
Data Guard Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce the successful deployment of new Dell hardware that replaces myriad backup database servers and storage devices and further consolidates them to four servers and one storage-area network. The addition is expected to reduce monthly utility costs by $10,000, slash power consumption by 80%, and increase overall administrative productivity.
Data Guard Systems and Dell replaced forty-five (45) backup database servers with four Dell™ PowerEdge™ 6800 servers running VMware® ESX virtualization software. This software senses available capacity within a server and assigns the computing tasks to be processed at that location without interruption. Massive amounts of data were also migrated from various storage devices onto a Dell/EMC CX500 storage area network to simplify its management.
Dell Services was an integral part of Data Guard Systems' migration to a consolidated infrastructure. "The Dell team prides itself on being a trusted adviser to enterprise customers who come to us to design and build their data centers," said David Marmonti, vice-president of Dell's preferred corporate accounts division. "With the work completed for Data Guard Systems, they're now capable of handling their business expansion for years to come."
Since the migration,
Data Guard Systems is saving as much as $10,000 a month in power costs. "Our new Dell and VMware solution is projected to reduce the power required by as much as 80 percent, and the resulting savings should be sufficient to pay for the new servers and software within a year," explained Timothy Maliyil, President of Data Guard Systems. "And with the knowledge that we had avoided spending millions on power improvements at three distinct data centers, everyone was pleased. We've had zero downtime with the new configuration, and the performance has been stellar."

Did You Know that Data Guard Systems is Saving $10,000 a Month in Power Costs?
The best part about this new consolidation?
EVERYONE BENEFITS.With oil prices rising, power is becoming more and more expensive every day. Shipping companies raise their rates to offset gas and oil prices. Airlines are forced to increase their fares to offset their fuel costs.
Data Guard's consolidation efforts not only save the company money on power, but these savings are passed along to well over 3000 storefronts nationwide who will not see raised rates to offset increasing power costs.
Now, that's something
everyone can smile about.
