WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., May 25 /PRNewswire/ --

News Facts

• Syncsort, a global leader in extreme performance data integration and data protection software, today announced that the U.S. Marine Corps will use Syncsort BEX as the data protection solution for their Tactical Data Network Data Distribution System-Modular (TDN DDS-M).
• TDN DDS-M is a modular, scalable Internet Protocol (IP) communications and networking system that enables deployed Marines to establish secure, networked voice, data, video conferencing and other communication capabilities among commanders, joint and coalition forces.
• In March 2008, General Dynamics C4 Systems was awarded the TDN DDS-M contract to produce the next generation TDN DDS-M system for the U.S. Marine Corps. General Dynamics C4 Systems is a business unit of General Dynamics.
• As part of the program, the Marines and General Dynamics needed a data protection solution for the system that was proven in tactical environments and could protect the critical data associated with email messaging, file sharing, and the storage of tactical information.
• Syncsort BEX was selected because of the Marines' familiarity with the solution and for its ease of use. The Marines have been using Syncsort BEX successfully for several years in a tactical environment for faster and more reliable server backups, application recovery, bare metal recovery, and email message retrieval.
• An extreme data protection solution, Syncsort BEX enables organizations to unlock previously unattainable value from their data and delivers a five minute return to operations in the face of inevitable data loss events.
