Minnesota Counties Information Systems Achieves Reliable, High Performance Data Protection with Unitrends

Columbia, SC (PRWEB) February 8, 2010

Unitrends (unitrends.com), the leader in affordable, heterogeneous D2D (Disk-to-Disk) and D2D2D (Disk-to-Disk-to-Disk)-based data protection backup appliances, today announced that Minnesota Counties Information Systems (MCIS) has achieved reliable, high-performance data protection for its mixed Microsoft and IBM iSeries operating environment using a disk-based appliance from Unitrends.

Minnesota Counties Information Systems (MCIS) is a joint-powers organization dedicated to providing quality, integrated information solutions through customized computer applications and responsive support to member counties. Established in 1975, MCIS provides services to thirteen full member counties and seven associate member counties. With offices in Grand Rapids, Minn., MCIS relies on a nimble staff of 12 to provide the software and technical support for its counties computerized work processes, e-government services and Web-based communications.

Just like most local governments, MCIS must conserve taxpayer dollars while delivering an increasingly high level of service. Given this mission, MCIS needed to improve its data protection reliability by shifting from its previous tape backup solution, which was becoming increasingly less reliable.

For disaster recovery purposes, MCIS also needed its replacement system to include a way to maintain offsite copies of backups while also providing highly automated local backups with ease of recovery in case of disaster. Additionally, it had to be easy to use with high-quality support so that MCIS could implement and manage the solution with existing staff. Finally, the solution had to support the organizations mix of operating environments which included Microsoft Windows, Microsoft SQL databases, Microsoft Exchange Server and IBM iSeries systems.

MCIS looked at the backup services offered by a local managed services provider, but in the end decided they would prefer to purchase a disk-to-disk solution that could be administered by MCIS staff. Based on a recommendation from its solution partner, CPS, MCIS selected a disk-to-disk backup solution from Unitrends.

I like Unitrends emphasis on products for small to medium businesses, and also their relationship with our partner CPS, Patricia Lenoch, network administrator for MCIS. I have been able to restore files many times without having to worry about having the correct media. Unitrends also offers great support… always excellent, timely, and thorough.”

Now, MCIS data archives are copied automatically on rotational (archive) drives as part of the Unitrends system. These removable drives with copies of backups are transferred to a secure offsite location, while the original backups remain on the local Unitrends appliance. This is a big improvement over tape, where the media could be transferred to a remote site, but then those backups were no longer readily available for quick recovery of files or systems at the local site.

Unitrends appliances are an ideal solution for environments that require data protection for a mix of operating environments without added cost or burden on IT staff productivity, said Dr. Mark Campbell, COO, Unitrends. Unitrends also provides an efficient method for delivering both the back up and archiving protection organizations like MCIS need all from a single, unified solution.

About Unitrends

Small and medium businesses have the same critical reliance on the integrity of their data as enterprises, but often cant afford the operational expenditure of a dedicated staff or the capital expenditure of replacing their IT infrastructure. Unitrends provides enterprise-level data protection, at the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry, through a family of scalable disk-based data protection appliances that integrate and protect existing heterogeneous computer and storage systems through a single, intuitive, graphical user interface.

Unitrends uses a common backup and recovery engine for providing protection for over 100 different versions of operating systems and applications. This means you can support Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware, Sun Solaris, Novell OES, Novell Netware, Novell GroupWise, Novell eDirectory, Linux, FreeBSD, Apple MacOS X, IBM pSeries/AIX, HP HP-UX, SCO UnixWare, SCO OpenServer, IBM iSeries/OS400, and SGI IRIX on notebooks, PCs, workstations, and servers and on DAS, NAS, or SAN storage.

GXS Achieves PCI DSS 2.0 Attestation of Compliance

Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) June 27, 2012

GXS, a leading provider of B2B integration services, today announced that it has received Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) 2.0 Attestation of Compliance for its PCI Gateway Cloud Tokenization service. To receive PCI DSS 2.0 compliance, GXS policies, procedures and technical systems were reviewed by a third-party auditor, AT&T. The security assessment included on-site validation of network security, cardholder data protection, vulnerability management, access control measures, network monitoring and information security policies.

Achieving PCI compliance was a high priority for us. Use of card-based payments for Business-to-Business (B2B) transactions has increased significantly in recent years,” said Patricia Hines, director of financial services industry marketing at GXS, But, the growth can only continue if B2B networks can support the highest industry standards to protect cardholder data.

The GXS Cloud Tokenization Solution accepts transactions and replaces personally identifiable information, such as card numbers, with a secure token, a randomized string of unidentifiable characters. The transaction with the token is then sent to be processed. One of GXSs premier Cloud Tokenization customers is Infor, the world’s third largest supplier of enterprise applications and services. Using GXS, Infor is able to offer a safe, reliable way of handling confidential data and ensure PCI compliance for its customers.

The PCI Security Standards Council released PCI DSS version 2.0 to provide greater clarity and flexibility and facilitate an improved understanding of the requirements and eased implementation for merchants. The PCI DSS 2.0 standard comprises a minimum set of requirements for protecting cardholder data. The standard applies to all entities involved in payment card processing including merchants, processors, acquirers, issuers, and service providers, as well as all other entities that store, process or transmit cardholder data.

Direct Line Auto Insurance Achieves Cost-efficient Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery with DataCore SANsymphony-V Storage Hypervisor

Berlin and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (PRWEB) December 15, 2011

DataCore Software, the industrys premier provider of storage virtualization software, announced that a premier German insurance company Direct Line Versicherung AG has implemented its business continuity and disaster recovery architecture on a storage infrastructure built on the DataCore storage hypervisor SANsymphony-V foundation. The high-speed and highlyavailable synchronous mirroring functionality of the DataCore solution enables Direct Line to set up a backup and disaster recovery data center located 40 kilometers away in order to minimize downtime and to ensure speedy recovery in case of a failure at the primary data center. The combination of a storage hypervisor with server hypervisors provides a flexible, high-performance and fail safe IT infrastructure that virtualizes storage hardware with SANsymphony-V and server hardware with VMware vSphere.

“DataCore SANsymphony-V provides Direct Line a cost-effective and efficient business continuity solution supporting high-availability and disaster recovery across multiple sites, without neglecting performance or data protection aspects. The DataCore solution is a strategic component in our daily business, says Heiko Teichmann, managing director at IT service provider Teserco and project manager on behalf of Direct Line Versicherung.

According to a recent German consumer report Stiftung Warentest, the automobile insurance company Direct Line offers an excellent price-performance return to its customers. While many factors are involved, this can also be attributed to having a cost advantage in its IT infrastructure. In addition to meeting the disaster recovery requirements and flexibility of the central IT services, the storage hypervisor SANsymphony-V provides greater potential for additional cost savings. Thanks to its hardware independence and the efficient caching algorithms of the DataCore solution, Direct Line can not only use its installed and cost-effective HP P2000 disk subsystems but with DataCore also remove the functional or performance limitations that would have prevented them from future use. Today, around 75 terabytes of data are now managed in the main data center, located in Teltow, and at the remote data center in Berlin, which meets the requirements set by the highest data protection category (Tier 4). The synchronized, mirrored data is transported over a 6 Gb dark fiber connection between the two sites.

In addition to adding a new level of data protection and reliability, Direct Line benefits from an increased efficiency in productivity and flexibility during the year-end, peak business season, which adds an increased spike in business volume and much higher IT-workloads. The ability to work as an active-active operation across both data centers is made possible by SANsymphony-Vs ability to stretch the shared storage across the two sites. This allows the insurance company to move virtual machines and storage resources across different locations on-the-fly and with little effort.
