New! Scale-Out Cloud with Instant Cloud Recovery
Scale-out Cloud delivers an entirely new and improved experience.
Until now, each vault in the Axcient Cloud was allocated a dedicated storage pool, restricting storage to a
limited number of endpoints and data (TB).
Now, Scale-out Cloud vaults will distribute data evenly across the entire storage network transparently,
with data for protected systems dynamically distributed across our entire cloud.
Discover what Scale-Out Cloud (with instant cloud recovery) means for you.

Recover from a Lost or Stolen Device
If an end user loses a computer or mobile device, an Anchor administrator can unlink the compromised device
from the user account. (This is especially critical for organizations that need to comply with HIPAA.)
Watch a two-minute video on using Anchor to
recover from a lost or stolen device.

This month, meet Brent VanDyke, Technical Support Engineer [Anchor]
Before working at Axcient, what was the most unusual or interesting job you've had?
I worked for 9 years at the same company (same building, at least) in storage (from ASICs on to enterprise infrastructure).
Every day was something new— whether it was a core switch issue, a problem with a Linux server mount, whatever it was—
it was always high stakes, and, typically, involved a Fortune 500 company that nearly everyone on earth had heard of.
The most interesting 'ticket' involved what I later found out was a satellite—what that satellite did, nobody would
ever tell me (though I had a solid hypothesis).
What would you do (for a career) if you weren't doing this?
I miss working with my hands. I've always enjoyed working on vehicles, tearing down and rebuilding engines.
If money were no object, I'd spend all my time rebuilding classics.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Anything on two wheels (bicycling and motorcycling), and I love to tinker. My latest project was building a wifi
garage door opener. I was tired of fighting the garage remote, but all the options I could find for this
were both expensive and required monthly fees for the "service". So instead, I built one. About $15 and a bit of time later,
we have a better solution at a one-time cost. I find little projects like this quite rewarding.
Where would you go on your dream vacation?
New Zealand. There aren't many places that I actually dream about regularly, but NZ is one of them.
