Storage Guardian Deploys Cloud Backup for Virtualized Environments

(PRWEB) July 21, 2009

Storage Guardian, the company that specializes in online and cloud backup solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, has upgraded its cloud backup infrastructure to Asigra 9.0, an advanced backup and recovery software platform fully optimized for cloud computing. All Storage Guardian customers and channel partners are being automatically migrated to this new platform.

Moving to this platform brings several key benefits to companies looking to take advantage of cloud backup and recovery:

Online backup and disaster recovery for virtualized computing environments (Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware ESX).
FIPS 140 NIST certification, featuring password rotation that provides the option of automatically generating and changing passwords at random for specific user accounts so unauthorized persons cannot access the account or the data.
Built-in data de-duplication and lifecycle management to minimize bandwidth and storage needs.
Agentless software operation that does not require any agents to be purchased or installed on the existing or newly added systems under protection. The software reaches out over the network to perform agentless backup of all leading physical and virtual operating systems, applications, and databases, using industry standard protocols and programming interfaces.
Full support for 64-bit computing.
“Our managed service provider and trusted advisor partners are looking to us to keep them abreast of the latest trends, so we’re delighted to be rolling out support for Asigra 9.0 so quickly,” said Dave Minns, client services manager at Storage Guardian. “As an MSP, if you’re offering virtual environment solutions to your clients then you need a compatible online backup solution. There’s no question that our new cloud and online backup service can address the needs of the most demanding business customer.”

iCorps Technologies Launches Guardian Business Continuity Services

(PRWEB) December 15, 2009

Northeast iCorps Technologies today announced the launch of iCorps Guardian, the company’s enterprise-class, multi-tiered business continuity solution. iCorps Guardian responds to increasing market demands for the reliable backup, storage, and restoration of a company’s business-critical data.

“A company’s operations and revenue depend on the health and accessibility of its applications and systems – and the information they contain,” explains Michael Hadley, iCorps CEO, president, and co-founder. “But there is much more to keeping a business running than just performing backups.”

“That’s why we’re excited to introduce iCorps Guardian,” Hadley states. The comprehensive solution uniquely combines backup with dependable business continuity capabilities such as offsite storage, proactive monitoring and testing, and disaster recovery. He notes, “The availability of all these services in a single offering helps to protect a company’s intellectual property, and ensures the smooth continuance of business operations in the face of events as minor as an accidental file deletion – or as serious as a physical disaster.”

iCorps Guardian performs digital backups, a method which is “far more reliable than the standard tape backup many companies currently depend on,” says Hadley. According to Gartner, tape backups fail to restore 70 percent of the time.

Additional services under the iCorps Guardian umbrella include continuous management, monitoring, and maintenance of a company’s backup and storage – all of which are crucial to protecting and assuring the reliability of the stored digital data. iCorps’ unique CORE-validate process provides end-to-end testing and confirms that the business is prepared – at all times – for quick and successful recovery from any type of event or disaster.

Companies can customize the level of protection and recovery options available with iCorps Guardian to fit their specific business needs. Key components of the multi-tiered iCorps Guardian services include:
