June 29, 2009 - Daymark Solutions, a leading provider of information technology solutions, has deepened its level of technical expertise and enhanced its relationships with Symantec Corp (Nasdaq: SYMC) and EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) by earning new technology certifications from both companies.
Achieving certification for Symantec's Data Loss Prevention products will enable Daymark, a Symantec Platinum Partner, to help its clients implement a unified solution to discover, monitor, and protect confidential data wherever it is stored or used. Symantec offers comprehensive coverage of confidential data across endpoint, network, and storage systems-whether the users are on or off the corporate network. Daymark's experts understand how best to utilize Symantec's Data Loss Prevention technology to help businesses reduce risk, ensure compliance, and protect their brand and intellectual property.
With its new certification for EMC's Avamar backup and recovery solution, Daymark, an EMC ASN Certified Partner, adds a new level of expertise to its already extensive backup/recovery and data deduplication expertise. Avamar utilizes patented global data deduplication technology to identify redundant data at the source, minimizing backup data before it is sent over the LAN/WAN. Daymark's experience and proven methodology will help companies to implement Avamar most effectively to reduce backup time, growth of secondary storage, and network utilization.
"These key technical certifications will enable us to deliver even more value to those clients who are struggling with the challenges of protecting confidential data or improving their backup processes," said Daymark General Manager Brian Casey. "We continue to attain new certifications and technical knowledge of additional premiere data management solutions so that we keep pace with our clients' evolving information technology needs."

New monitoring service improves data protection and ensures rapid recovery by combining automated backup monitoring with expert analysis
August 8, 2007 - Daymark Solution, a leading provider of information technology solutions, today announced the immediate availability of its Backup Navigator monitoring service. Backup Navigator reduces the time, effort and cost of backup monitoring by helping companies easily capture and analyze critical reliability and performance data.
"Most companies just don't have the time, the technology or the level of expertise that is required to effectively examine the valuable statistics their backup environment generates every day," said Daymark spokesman Steve Haywood. "As a result, they get an incomplete picture of data protection status, which exposes them to significant risk. Backup Navigator addresses that problem by putting all this information at their fingertips and, even better, providing the expert analysis required to complete the picture."
Backup Navigator is a non-disruptive monitoring service that securely retrieves key performance and reliability information from existing backup systems, interprets it, and makes it instantly accessible via a customized web portal. This analysis can be used to track backup status, identify trends, ensure rapid recovery, justify new IT investments, and demonstrate compliance with Service Level Agreements, regulatory requirements, and other benchmarks.
Backup Navigator includes expert interpretation by Daymark's skilled backup and recovery professionals. There are several levels of service available, depending upon the customer's requirements. All subscribers receive weekly email reports which provide a summary of success rates and detailed status information. Silver level subscribers also receive a weekly telephone conference from a top consultant to discuss the backup metrics analysis and remediation recommendations. Gold level subscribers also receive bi-weekly on-site visits by consultants to implement recommendations for improvement.

Proven program optimizes existing backup environments to improve reliability, reduce costs, and slash backup times
North Billerica, Massachusetts - October 25, 2004 - Daymark Solutions, Inc. today announced the immediate availability of its Backup-Recovery Remediation Service. This comprehensive package has been designed to help companies quickly document and implement the improvements or upgrades necessary to enhance backup performance and reduce operating costs.
Through the Backup-Recovery Remediation Service, Daymark's backup experts work to identify and resolve problems that cause backup failures or painfully long backup times. Schedule conflicts, backup database performance issues, networking connectivity problems, lack of application integration, and recurring bottlenecks all drive up operating costs and, worse, increase the risk of exposed data. The Backup-Recovery Remediation Service can resolve all of those issues, and many others.
Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. of Gloucester, Mass., a leading producer of ion implantation equipment used in the manufacture of semiconductors, saw a dramatic improvement in its backup environment after undergoing remediation with Daymark.
"Backups used to run through the weekend and into Monday or Tuesday of the following week, with failed backups needing to be restarted during business hours. The problematic environment required staff resources to provide continuous monitoring throughout the weekend," said Troy Preble, Manager of Corporate Networks and Technology at Varian Semiconductor. "Now, after working with Daymark, we easily meet our backup windows, and our success rate commonly approaches 100%. We only have to address one-off problems, not systemic environment conditions. Best of all, we were able to implement these improvements without disrupting our ongoing operations."
The results have been just as dramatic at Holyoke, Mass.-based ISO New England, which is responsible for day-to-day operations of the regional bulk power system and fair administration of the wholesale electricity market.
"Daymark has helped us push our backup costs down significantly. By identifying and improving our tape management we are better able to support an environment our size with fewer resources." said Mary Yarrows, Senior System Analyst of ISO New England. "By using the remediation service, we've seen our backup cycle time decrease by over 50%. The experts at Daymark identified and resolved inefficiencies in our backup and archiving jobs that were causing us real pain. We are extremely pleased with the results we've experienced with Daymark, and will continue to use the Backup-Recovery Remediation Service on a quarterly basis to keep our operations running smoothly."
"Although backup is a critical IT function, in many companies it is barely limping along. There is tremendous pressure to improve reliability and performance, but the backup window keeps shrinking, data volume keeps expanding, and technology keeps getting more complicated," said Brian Casey, Daymark General Manager. "Companies recognize the problem, but people just don't have the time or the expertise to implement the required improvements. The Backup-Recovery Remediation Service brings the experts and proven processes to them, and delivers measurable results quickly."
The three-phase service includes a detailed assessment of the current environment and problems, comprehensive recommendations for improvement, and expert implementation. A proven methodology, executed by skilled backup professionals, ensures the program's success in any customer environment.
