Axcient Dramatically Simplifies Keeping Applications Running and Data Protected with Next Generation User Experience

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Axcient, the leading cloud solution for eliminating application downtime and data loss, today announced a completely redesigned data protection portal that dramatically simplifies and enhances the user experience for IT professionals and managed service providers supporting companies from tens to thousands of employees.

Axcient's entirely new interface brings the ease of use of a consumer application to a complicated IT function, allowing users to manage critical data protection issues easily through three distinct new features: a health status system that indicates successful protection of an entire enterprise at a glance, customizable time-based alerting thresholds that define how long is too long without protection, and exception-based notifications so users know right away when something's wrong. With Axcient's new experience, IT can save hundreds of hours a year. 

"IT professionals are increasingly becoming generalists, each managing multiple tools and systems simultaneously. Legacy enterprise software solutions not only fail to protect businesses from costly application downtime, but also take far too much time to deploy and manage for today's overburdened IT professional," said Justin Moore, CEO of Axcient.

"We continue to simplify the Axcient user experience and with our latest release have cut down the time it takes to deploy Axcient to under five minutes, while adding an intuitive notification system and health dashboard that enable businesses to verify that all their data, applications and systems are protected at a glance. This is why Axcient is an increasingly attractive alternative to legacy systems like Symantec Backup Exec™."

"Axcient's web interface is intuitive and easy to use. Yet behind the slick UI there's the ability to do all the custom configurations I might need," said Larry Womack, Information Technology Manager for the St. Louis Blues. "With Axcient, I can rest assured that our data, apps and systems are fully protected. If a problem ever arises, I know I'll get an email alert immediately."
