Data Protection

Data is the lifeblood of business so it makes sense to invest in managing and protecting it. A ProLiant server is a highly reliable platform but for complete protection against data loss from natural disasters, theft, viruses, accidental or malicious human activities data must be backed up. The media used for this backup and the location of the backup media determine the level of protection. Backup media includes tape, disk and CD/DVD. Whatever backup media is used, data protection software is required to execute the backups and manage the recovery process when needed. HP offers the most complete portfolio of data protection software and hardware for your ProLiant 100 Series server
