multiple remote offices face increased risk
of cyberattacks, data loss and unplanned
downtime, while at the same time grappling
with limited IT resources.
“Modern businesses need simplified

proven complex and costly,” he said.
“Arcserve UDP Cloud Direct is designed
to deliver direct-to-cloud capabilities
with enterprise grade speed, reliability

Arcserve UDP Cloud Direct has been
proven to complete 95.50% of backups

enables dynamic provisioning and near-
infinite scalability, with high-speed data
transfer to optimise large data sets, quickly
backing up and recovering systems and
applications – without disrupting on-
premise operations.
