MARLBOROUGH, MA -- May 14, 2008 -- SEPATON, Inc., the leader in enterprise-class data protection solutions, today announced that four of its customers have been recognized as BusinessWeek's Top 50 Best Performers for 2008, including three of the "top 10" in the ranking.  The BusinessWeek 50 ranks the top performers from the 10 sectors that make up the S&P 500, based on return on capital, growth, and other measures of performance determined by the BusinessWeek editors.

"It is no coincidence that top performing, enterprise-class companies such as Coach, Verizon, Colgate-Palmolive and Moody's are leveraging advanced data protection technology to not only secure their data, but ensure that it is easily managed and recoverable," said Mike Worhach, president and CEO of SEPATON, Inc. "This ranking demonstrates that some of the world's most recognizable and successful companies understand the critical importance of data protection, and the business performance benefits that can be achieved."

For enterprise companies, data protection means far more than backing up data. It means backing up large volumes of data in locations worldwide, while navigating shrinking backup windows. It also means:

  • Meeting regulatory requirements
  • Staying ahead of exponential data growth
  • Being "green" by cutting power and floor space consumption
  • Planning for the future
