Recall Corporation Launches Revolutionary New Web-Based Media Management System

Unparalleled State-of-the-Art Service Offers Industry's Most Accurate, Flexible Tape Management and Disaster Recovery System

Today, Recall Corporation launches ReQuest(SM) Media Manager, a groundbreaking web-based inventory management program that will revolutionize the data protection industry by giving businesses unprecedented control over back-up data inventory. The program, developed with software leader B&L and proprietary to Recall, can help businesses keep an up-to-the-minute inventory of their in-house and off-site data, enabling 100 percent accuracy in inventory management and tape rotation.

"ReQuest Media Manager is miles ahead of the competition because it provides companies with an end-to-end solution to their media management needs," explains Warren McDougall, director, strategic services. "Ten years of research and development went into the program and right now it's two-generations ahead of anything else in the industry, providing companies the most accurate and turnkey day-to-day management and disaster recovery available."

The program, hosted by Recall, interfaces with all existing media management systems including CA-1, RMM, VERITAS NetBackup & Backup Exec, Legato NetWorker, BakBone NetVault, Syncsort Backup Express, Hewlett Packard OpenView Omniback II and Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve. It can even support programs businesses have developed in-house, making it the industry's most flexible system.

Users will have real-time inventory reconciliation and advanced reporting capabilities through the ability to produce reports and report filters for every level, including description, return date or DR code. Users can even track individual tapes in cases, preventing loss of data. Through "Smart Move" and "Smart Reconcile," users track the flow of tapes to and from their company to Recall and are notified if tapes are missing from the lists. The program also keeps track of businesses' disaster recovery lists.

Previously, companies managed their tapes through VTMS Connect, a modem-based tool that limited customers to tape tracking within their own system and required software installation on all users' computers. With ReQuest Media Manager, customers can have a complete look at their entire inventory anywhere, anytime, on the Internet.

ReQuest Media Manager offers a true 360 degree tape management system and is targeted for customers with a heavy tape rotation. It provides security through a 128-bit AES encryption and generates reports in PDF format that can't be manipulated by readers.
