| Greetings! | |

Thank you for reading this newsletter! We wanted to formally introduce you to our newest backup solution, Axcient.
We know that businesses need to maximize productivity, lower costs and decrease risks every day. In this age of information, this means you need your servers, desktops and applications up and running all the time. Each year a business is guaranteed to have many productivity hits whether it is a stolen laptop, a failed e-mail server or an accidentally deleted file or folder. Some incidences are minor and some are major, but one thing is consistent: all of these occurrences negatively affect employees and customers, and therefore the bottom line. Now there is a way to recover fast from any data loss or server outage, and it's all delivered as one solution from ThrottleNet Inc. as a service. The most reliable backup and business continuity service for your business is Axcient. Axcient offers the first complete data protection service for small and medium business customers designed to ensure business continuity every day and protect your most important asset - data - in the event of loss or corruption. With just a simple click, ThrottleNet's Axcient solution lets you restore lost data in minutes, not days, weeks or even months like other solutions.

| Meet Eric Aguado, Director of Networking and Proud Computer Nerd! | |
Title: Director of Networking
Years in the industry: 10 years
Family: My wife, Cindy, and two daughters,
Isabel - 8 and Abby - 6.
Hobbies: Naturally, I'm a fan of computers (duh). Usually this just means keeping up to date with the latest and greatest processors, ram, video cards, etc. I also enjoy computer gaming although my wife is not a big fan of that! Whenever I do manage to get away from the world of bits and bytes, I enjoy just about anything outdoors including fishing, backpacking and camping. I'm a sucker for just about any sci-fi flick, especially the really cheesy ones (i.e. Army of Darkness). Typically I'm usually reading at least one or two books at any given time as well.
