Financial Services Firms Turn to BUMI and Global Relay for Comprehensive Data Backup, Recovery and Compliance

(PRWEB) October 17, 2011

BUMI (Backup My Info!), the premier provider of online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses, today announced the addition of DH Frederick Securities, Inc. and The Family Wealth Consulting Group (FWCG) to its growing roster of financial services customers. In addition to online data backup and recovery provided by BUMI, these two California-based financial services firms are also utilizing Global Relay for email archiving offering an end-to-end solution to safeguard and ensure compliance of business-critical information.

Like many financial services organizations, DH Frederick Securities, Inc. and FWCG use Global Relay services in order to comply with FINRA regulations for the recordkeeping and supervision of electronic messaging. FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority), which regulates all firms selling securities in the United States, requires its broker-dealers to archive all transactions and inbound, internal and outbound correspondence relating to their business.

Compliance is extremely important, and meeting FINRA requirements does not mean financial services firms data is protected from disaster or other unforeseen events that can cause systemic failure, said Jennifer Walzer, CEO of BUMI. What Global Relay does for email communications, BUMI does for an organizations data, providing a means to backup and restore all types of business-critical information, applications and systems. Financial services firms such as DH Frederick Securities and The Family Wealth Consulting Group are recognizing that while regulatory compliance is compulsory, data protection is essential.

DH Frederick Securities is a licensed broker-dealer that specializes in assisting clients with capital and consulting needs. It is leveraging BUMI to remotely back up all of its operational systems and applications, such as Microsoft Office files. The company also relies on Global Relay to archive all of its email correspondence, keeping them compliant with government regulations.

If you had a virus cause a crash or, in our case, being in California, an earthquake, and all your hardware was destroyed, what would you do? said Dolliver Frederick, Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of DH Frederick Securities. For us, in just two phone calls one to Global Relay and the second to BUMI we would have all our email, documents, correspondence and database information, and we would be back up and running. Thats also extraordinarily important from a FINRA and SEC compliance standpoint.

FWCG is a Silicon Valley-based wealth planning firm that manages nearly $ 100 million in assets. Prior to selecting BUMI, FWCG managed backups internally and needed an off-site solution to safeguard its data. Additionally, the firm utilizes Global Relay for email archiving. In the event of an outage, we wanted the capability to recover from a major data loss, said Hilary Martin, Financial Planner at FWCG. With BUMI and Global Relay in place, I feel completely covered, both from a FINRA-compliance and data backup and recovery perspective.

Financial Services Firms Turn to BUMI and Global Relay for Comprehensive Data Backup, Recovery and Compliance

New Research Suggests That Most Cloud Storage Firms Not Prepared For Data Recovery Disasters

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) August 30, 2012

eProvided flash drive data recovery discusses cloud storage and the need for USB drive recovery on cloud backup storage technology. With so many options of cloud-data-backup and storage it’s easy to forget all the dangers of not properly backing up data which could result in the need for flash drive data recovery. Although cloud storage is fairly secure, there’s always a chance that a piece of hardware (e.g. HDD or SSD) could malfunction, fail and require advanced forms of NAND recovery or memory stick recovery.

According to a recent survey from virtual-strategy.com (August 14, 2012), when surveying a group of 360 cloud storage service providers and enterprises, only 33% have NAND or flash drive data recovery plans in place. That means that 67% of cloud storage firms do not have a plan in place for protecting client data from requiring a memory stick recovery service or data recovery services. Yes, cloud storage is becoming the fastest and most convenient way of storing data, but as we can see, even cloud servers are not USB drive recovery proof. So far, 26% of virtual environment type data storage firms have reported some type of data loss where a flash drive data recovery service would need to be utilized. Think your data is safe? Think again. Memory stick recovery service needs are at an all time high (eProvided).

So, lets say that some type of a data disaster was to happen, what to do then? There are countless data recovery firms competing for your business, but one name that stands above them all is eProvided.com. eProvided USB drive recovery company is at the forefront of flash drive data recovery services. Countless articles have been written by this data recovery expert on the future of NAND flash USB drive recovery and data storage.

So whats next on tap in the data storage or memory stick recovery world? eProvided USB drive recovery services stands by the claim that everything’s slowly moving towards a NAND based storage platform. What this means is that the regular HDD type of storage days may be numbered (techcentral.co.za). SSD’s and flash type media are here to stay and will become the predominant way of storing data. High speed/capacity SSD’s and NAND chips are already powering some cloud servers, and this is just the start (stormondemand.com).

eProvided, a NAND flash recovery expert focusing strictly on NAND recovery as well as memory stick recovery states that NAND flash is the way of the future. Any type of USB drive recovery services such as flash drive data recovery and the advanced recovery techniques of memory stick recovery have been perfected by eProvided. This USB drive recovery firm is currently taking on data recovery partners at their Colorado based headquarters.
