| Intelligent Agents |
Intelligent agents allow corporate policies to be implemented automatically across large numbers of computer systems, by providing a reliable mechanism to distribute both policies and data throughout the backup consolidation network.Autonomous OperationAgents on each computer implement policies independently, so that they continue to function even when network connections are unavailable. The agents download policies from the storage server and upload backup data to be stored the consolidated backup storage . Secure CommunicationsAgents are responsible for securing the information they protect using the highest grade of encryption commercially available. Unencrypted data is never transmitted across the network or stored within the consolidated backup storage. Bandwidth ManagementData volumes are greatly reduced by deduplication, so moving information between locations is normally achieved cost effectively using existing network infrastructure, involving no capital expenditure or operational resource.
