LiveVault and ePartners Announce Partnership to Provide Online Backup and Recovery to Microsoft Business Solutions Customers

New Partnership Expands ePartners Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery Offerings

Marlborough, Mass., and Seattle, Wa., February 1, 2005 — LiveVault Corporation®, the leading provider of disk-based online backup and recovery solutions for business servers, and ePartners, the largest global Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS) consultancy, today announced a partnership for ePartners to provide LiveVault Online Backup and Recovery Service to its customers as part of its Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery program.

ePartners is a leading MBS provider and information technology services consultancy with 29 offices in North America and London. More than 300 leading companies spanning 45 industries turned to ePartners last year for aligning business and IT strategies, improving business processes and deploying and supporting solutions that accelerate business results. By adding LiveVault to its Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery program, ePartners can now offer unparalleled backup and recovery capabilities to its customers with LiveVault.

LiveVault helps organizations remove the risk and burden of protecting business data through comprehensive disk-based online backup and recovery solutions that address the entire data protection process. LiveVault is designed for companies with remote offices, as well as small and mid-sized businesses, that have primarily relied on in-house tape backups to protect their data. Analysts estimate nearly 50 percent of tape-based backups fail to restore correctly, which exposes these businesses to significant risk. In contrast, LiveVault guarantees recovery of all business-critical data and enables companies to return operations to the state they were in immediately prior to a data-loss event.

“ePartners’ Envisioned Business Solution framework will be dramatically enhanced by our ability to offer the confidence of the LiveVault data backup and recovery solution to our clients,” said Dan Duffy, CEO of ePartners. “A key part of the value that we deliver to our clients is our unending pursuit of proven technologies that can be effectively and efficiently deployed to enhance the value of our offerings to our clients. We are thrilled to have selected the LiveVault solution for inclusion into our solution offerings.”

The LiveVault-ePartners partnership expands and strengthens ePartners’ existing Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery offering, as well as fulfills record retention and regulatory requirements mandated by Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulatory entities.

“LiveVault and ePartners are a great match, united in our commitment to delivering a foolproof data protection solution to customers,” said Bob Cramer, president and CEO of LiveVault. “Now, customers can look to ePartners not only to address their business continuity and disaster recovery planning, but also to deliver LiveVault for automatic, continuous backup with guaranteed recovery of data in the event of a disaster.”
