In
a setting of rapidly growing volumes of data, increasingly
virtualized environments and rising compliance guidelines, the
various backup and recovery solution possibilities piqued a lot of
interest among participants. For instance, more and more vendors like
SAP, SUSE, Red Hat, Fujitsu, IBM and Lenovo are recommending the
backup solution SEP sesam to their customers. It allows hybrid and
heterogeneous environments to be backed up perfectly with just one
solution. SEP Regional Manager for APAC Gordon Hubbard reported that
partnerships with SAP and Red Hat in particular have enabled rapid
growth in Asia. Dr. Ralf Rieger, Platform Solution Group, SAP,
pointed out these opportunities to the SEP partners.

Holger
Gottwald, Senior Alliance Manager at SEP, showed participants the top
results achieved with customer evaluations from Gartner
Peer Insights. Customers confirmed SEP’s excellent quality and
service.
In
his keynote speech, Dr. Jens Bücking explained the growing
importance of compliance, particularly for the backup environment.
The specialized lawyer for IT is Partner in the law firm
esb in Stuttgart, Data Protection Officer and lecturer at the
University of Applied Sciences in Stuttgart as well as Professor of
Information Technology, Intellectual Property and Compliance at
E.N.U. in Kerkrade. He also clearly depicted the effects of the
upcoming EU data protection regulation in his presentation. SEP was
able to point out the lawful data backup with SEP sesam achieved by
comprehensive encryption capabilities, for example. In addition, SEP
already meets the requirements as it fulfills prescribed measures
concerning data backup and recovery.
The
annual partner awards illustrate the partners’ dedication and
honored the competent implementation of SEP sesam backup strategies
by partner Deutsche Telekom.
