SQL LiteSpeed is the new approach of backing up SQL Server databases quickly and securely. Unlike existing technologies, SQL LiteSpeed compresses and encrypts all data as it backs up. The size of the backup file A file on a tape, removable disk or the fixed disk of another computer that is a copy kept for backup purposes. See backup types. is a significant reduction of the original database size, maximizing storage efficiency, while the state-of-the-art 128-bit encryption algorithm A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret code known as "ciphertext." Each algorithm uses a string of bits known as a "key" to perform the calculations. The larger the key (the more bits), the greater the number of potential patterns can be created, thus making ensures that backups cannot fall into the wrong hands. In addition, significant savings in time for backup and restore operations are achieved -- far exceeding other database backup alternatives. "Our database engineers have successfully implemented SQL LiteSpeed on a number of servers supporting 12 production financial systems, with databases encompassing several terabytes of on-line information. We are quite please d with the results we see in three key areas: a 80% reduction in backup time, a 2/3 reduction in storage media consumption, and a doubling of restore speed," stated Bob Riess, CIO CIO: see American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations.

We believe that productivity improvements, together with time and cost savings associated with SQL LiteSpeed, will result in a significant ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). . In fact, based on the results we are observing wit hour core financial systems, we are now in the process of evaluating SQL LiteSpeed for other departmental and reporting servers."
