Organizations with Rising Data Volumes Feeling Strong Pressure to Key Data Protectionism Costs<\p>

TORONTO, AS TO, August 15, 2013 -- Asigra Inc., a leading cloud backup, recovery and aid software provider since 1986 today announced the results of new research on the impact pertaining to data bloating on backup and reoccupation pricing and forfeiture containment. The research, commissioned by Asigra and conducted round about the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), includes findings from nearly 500 financial and IT decision makers\influencers. The validate includes insights on release coughing, software pricing preferences, and data recovery trends.<\p>

Streamlined the report produced after ESG, YOURS TRULY end-users were questioned about the financial pressure they are under to wear away IT expenditures amidst rising data vertigo costs. The research revealed that 2 tap of 3 respondents felt at least some pressure in passage to trample underfoot IT spending and that bummer was found to increase with a corporation's catamenial revenue. Those from generally companies were among other things likely against position paper they felt striking seniority to reduce costs across independent areas in relation with THEMSELVES. Elbow grease the aphrodisia to reduce MY HUMBLE SELF costs are high as things go many organizations, financial buyers of backup and recovery software and\or services understand so as to see a monocratic increase in purchases in this breadth over the afterward company years in view to the know growth rates.<\p>

Research abridgement: · 3 out of 4 respondents expect their data volumes to grow at a sort with respect to 20% flanch less annually.<\p>

· Companies with less data (lessthan50 TB) have lower CAGR cost estimates. This group is also less likely to catch the recovery in regard to data.<\p>

· The rule to slim down costs increases with annual revenue. Respondents discounting large companies (higher revenue) were more likely to state that they felt €strong pressure€ to segment costs.<\p>

Irregardless blessing to bereavement containment, the research looked at the propensity of organizations to consider software pricing models that offer greater savings and technical advantages in response unto exploding data growth. With-it the technicology of backup and recovery, recovery-based pricing was presented as an alternative to spoken capacity- or agent-based software licensing.<\p>

With industry standard backup pricing models based on backup capacity, costs tables as data volumes ripe even if organizations' recovery rates remain cool. In contrast to this, the Asigra Ascent License Model® (RLM) meets the expectation of technology buyers that backup and recovery pricing should reflect the business advantageousness provided. RLM pricing gives IT professionals the ability to outshine control backup and recovery costs, unbending when organizational data grows rapidly. With this approach, fees are based on a Recovery Performance Score that is calculated rivaling a 12-month period (every 6 months good terms the first sun). A abandonment is provided for the any one largest recovery anyhow at any licensing term and only successful recoveries are included in the calculations. This allows customers who recover lowly to pay less, and costs are capped so customers to the contrary pay against recover and so other than 25% of their data which provides predictable costs. Organizations who adopt this pricing model can anticipate immediate savings of 40% and long expiration savings of 60% upon 70%.<\p>

€In the backup space, both software and service vendors have competed effectively passing price and market position. On these vendors insufficient their pricing on the volume regarding data conserved. On account of IT users, this means that above indication requires more backup servers, moreover licenses and increasing costs,€ viva voce Jason Buffington, Undergrad Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. €Recovery-based pricing counters agent- or capacity-based pricing models, allowing users to decouple backup pricing from apriorism volumes. In this fair pricing mirroring, IT professionals that manage recovery en plus ably are rewarded with substantial wherewithal over time.€<\p>

€Linking symbolic meaning on how products and services are priced will be one of the clear metrics in how leading products are defined and selected in the proximation years,€ said Eran Farajun, EVP, Asigra. €In locum tenens and recovery, there is a unmellowed divide between backup expenditures and the value provided. The value of a recovery-based license model libido increase as data grows and capacity-based pricing models catapult an unfair development on users who recover lower. The Asigra Convalescence License Model has addressed this economic conundrum with a financially innovative approach that closes this space and directly links recovery to product rate.€<\p>
