Online Tech Launches Secure, Online Data Storage

Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) June 16, 2009

Online Tech, Michigan’s largest managed data center operator, has launched OTVault, a new online data storage product designed for secure, high volume online backup and archiving for businesses.

Online Tech, long preaching to the market that data is as valuable as money for most businesses, now offers another way for businesses to protect their valuable data. OTVault is an easy, cost effective solution for backing up servers or archiving data from any location into a secure, SAS 70 certified data center.

Online Tech leveraged the industry trends of declining Internet and storage costs, along with its high availability SAS70 certified data center, to introduce a new price point in the market for high volume, multi-terabyte online data storage. Designed as an easy first step for disaster recovery, businesses can map the online storage to their in house servers and use their current backup software to write backups and send critical data at Online Tech’s SAS70 certified data centers.

OTVault is not targeted at consumers, laptops, or desktop backups. The product is designed specifically for server backups requiring 100 Gigabytes to 10 Terabytes of online storage. Unlike Mozy, or other low end solutions that limit upload speeds to limit the amount of backup data which can be transferred each day, OTVault starts with over 50 Gigabytes of data transfer per day and can be upgraded to higher speeds.

Memsic, Inc. of Andover Massachusetts – a producer of sensor technologies – found that OTVault provides them with the online data storage they needed for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. “With OTVault, our data is securely sent to SAS 70 certified data centers with redundant fail-safe systems. We found OTVault to be a cost effective option for our disaster recovery ” said Cheryl Merino, a Manager at Memsic.

OTVault starts at $ 199 for 100 GB and $ 99 for each additional 100 GB. This price point makes it a cost effective alternative to traditional tape backup which has high failure rates, physical security risks, and slow data recovery times. OTVault overcomes these problems and eliminates the costs of tapes, hardware maintenance, offsite tape delivery and storage, and the personnel costs to manage the tape rotations.

With the launch, Online Tech is offering an OTVault trial free for 15 days. To learn more about this offer visit onlinetech.com/online_data_storage.

About Online Tech:

Online Tech is Michigan’s premier Managed Data Center Operator. Online Tech helps companies manage their growing demand for data and computing capacity through its SAS-70 secure and reliable multi-tenant data centers. With a full range of colocation, dedicated server hosting and managed service options, industry leaders trust Online Tech to insure their servers are always on, always online, and always safe.

Horizon Data Center Solutions Launches Secure Cloud Computing Platform Called FlexSafe Cloud, Expanding their Infrastructure as a Service Business

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) September 14, 2009

Horizon Data Center Solutions, a leading data center and IT flexsourcing firm serving businesses and government agencies with colocation, disaster recovery and managed IT services, has launched its cloud computing solution, called FlexSafe Cloud.

FlexSafe Cloud is a private, secure approach to cloud computing that meets the needs of organizations that want the flexibility, scalability and cost savings of virtualization, but that also require the security of a private computing platform.

FlexSafe Cloud is part of Horizon’s strategy to fill a gap in the marketplace by providing flexible, full-service IT outsourcing options that can serve the enterprise client as well as small and medium sized businesses. The company pioneered the concept with its DCFlexSpace colocation model and has continued to expand available IT services to meet client demand.

Horizon says the FlexSafe Cloud delivers immediate benefits for Software as a Service (SaaS) companies, e-commerce businesses with applications that experience fluctuating transaction volumes, financial firms, government agencies, and other entities that want the greater efficiencies and cost savings of virtualization without giving up security.

Chuck Smith, Executive Vice President with Horizon and the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, says that, while the industry debates the actual definition of cloud computing, Horizon has adopted the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) working definition, with its key characteristics of on-demand self-service, ubiquitous network access, ability to rapidly scale resources and pay on a measured-usage basis.

“Our growing list of federal clients made it a logical decision to adopt the NIST working definition of the cloud,” says Smith.

Smith says the FlexSafe Cloud is highly scalable and based upon Horizon’s Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering. Beginning with Tier III data centers, the Horizon IaaS solution is built on leading edge technology providers like Above Net, Cisco, F5 Networks and HP. The FlexSafe Cloud service is virtualized using VMware, and provides the High Availability (HA) performance and security levels required by enterprise data center customers. HDCS currently has two DFW area data centers, providing fast, reliable data backup and replication solutions.

“We believe that the large public cloud providers like Amazon and Google have done an excellent job of supporting the testing and development world, so there’s no need for us to pursue the public cloud. For government and enterprise clients, private clouds are where we can add significant value,” Smith says. The company will also offer community cloud solutions for entities with multiple businesses.

Horizon CEO, Lance A. Smith adds, “Our current clients appreciate our highly secure, reliable data center infrastructure and have asked us to provide this service. We are pleased to extend our relationships with them, while at the same time offering an option that represents our continued charge to fill the gap in the IT outsourcing market between the very large, global IT outsourcing companies and traditional hosting companies. With the FlexSafe Cloud option, the latest development in our fast-paced growth strategy, Horizon continues to be among the leaders in the data center market.”

For more information, contact Chuck Smith, Chief Marketing Officer, at 214 556 4138 or Connie Holubar at 903 880 8217. Corporate offices for Horizon can be reached at 972 509 0110.

NYI Teams with Certichron for Secure, Provable Time Solutions for Finance, Government, International Trade and Law Enforcement

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 1, 2010

NYI, a New York City-based, mission-critical data services provider, today announced that it has teamed with Certichron (http://www.certichron.com), the leader in third-party evidentiary time services, to provide secure, provable time-distribution and validation solutions for finance and securities, government, international trade and law enforcement applications.

With this partnership, NYI’s data centers at 100 William (New York, NY), 999 Frontier (Bridgewater, NJ) and 800 South Hope (Los Angeles, CA) where Certichron’s technology will be deployed, all become strategic additions to Certichron’s growing network as well as a source of nationally and internationally compliant time-services–an area expected that has become a billion-dollar market for the legal profession alone over the past several years(*).

“NYI’s reputation for being technologically forward-thinking is no exaggeration,” said Todd Glassey, CTO, Certichron. “They have made a major investment in their data center infrastructure to assure that its feature set and amenities remain the cutting-edge standard for the foreseeable future. We are inspired by their vision and proud to have them as a partner as we establish federally-certified third-party time-data services as both a regulatory standard and audit requirement solution.”

“Certichrons shrink-wrapping of time and trust services as a third-party resource is important in computing. What Certichron is doing will soon become essential, not just for hedge fund managers and securities dealers, but for all regulated systems which need something better than because I said so as a trust model,” said Phillip Koblence, VP Operations, NYI. “In the meantime, being able to deliver such third-party, provable time-data not only protects our customers, it holds NYI up to the highest possible standard.”

Glassey added, “Businesses are increasingly dependent on the complex integration of applications and systems, whether it be consolidating financial reports within the corporation, wiring money or moving data to the Cloud. Ultimately, this data from disparate sources needs to be consolidated into valid transaction records.

“If the time stamps are not consistent, the integrity of the data is undermined. With growing regulation (PCI DSS, OATS, SOX, GLBA, etc.) and judicial intervention (Lorraine v. Markel and In re Vinhnee), the management of time has evolved from an issue of accuracy to an issue of verification and proof.”

Most recently, Certichron has executed a NORAMET Time Service Agreement with the Canadian government. This agreement means that the Canadian Time Server Certichron has deployed at NYI’s main data center in Lower Manhattan can be used as a provable, third-party time source for official government activities because it is the first real-world instance of NORAMET (UTC), better known as Coordinated Universal Time, outside a laboratory.

As Certichron’s technology is more broadly deployed, NYI’s data centers add to their already long list of capabilities, which include support for low-latency connectivity for trading platforms, backup processes, and other latency-sensitive applications. For complete information on NYI’s data centers, including facility specifications, virtual tours and connectivity partners, visit: http://www.nyi.net/facilities.

About Certichron

Certichron acts as a Trusted Digital Intermediary, with a complete time-evidence and time-content certification practice that is nationally and internationally recognized as a legally provable source of time. To provide uniform time everywhere Certichron delivers its provable time service through a nationwide network anchored against its NIST-calibrated time-service systems. Based in San Jose, CA, with a network extending across the United States, the company hosts ~30% of the NIST public timeservers on the Internet and is the single largest provider of NIST-calibrated time outside of the Federal government. The company’s time-services meet US FFIEC, SEC, and other regulatory standards, in addition to those put forth by NORAMET and other International Treaties, and the compliance requirements of PCI DSS, OATS, SOX, and GLBA.

Hosting.com developed the ICC solution to support customers with high volume or time-sensitive replication requirements and latency or jitter-sensitive applications.

The secure and reliable ICC solution guarantees they can quickly add new customers and that their customers can access their mission-critical SaaS application at all times.

Darrell Hyde, Hosting.com Director of Network Security and Engineering, added, ICC is based on a feature called MPLS Circuit Cross Connect that is supported on our Juniper EX series switches. In essence, the Circuit Cross Connect emulates a traditional leased line service like a T1 or DS3 with a fraction of the provisioning time, and far more flexible capacity. Whereas traditional telco services can take 30-45 days for provisioning, Hosting.com can provision new ICC services and adjust capacity on existing ICC installations in as little as 48 hours.

Inexpensive and simple to setup, AltDrive provides unlimited remote file backup so that recovery is achievable after a disaster. AltDrive’s key competitors are Carbonite, Mozy and Backblaze.

Most people and businesses do not back up their important data regularly or at all. They do not have the time, or its too expensive or complicated. But it happens – mistakes, computer viruses, negligence, fire, theft, hardware problems – when files are lost, often they cannot be recovered.

The AltDrive service provides data de-duplication for improved backup efficiency. Some people just can’t help it – they have multiple copies of documents, music, and photos on their machines.

ETech 7 Inc. Weekly Brainstorm: Secure Offsite Backup

New York (PRWEB) October 26, 2012

Todays blink-of-an-eye pace of information technology demands constant focus. Thats why ETech 7 Inc. holds weekly internal conferences to brainstorm ideas and keep up to date on the latest in IT trends. Some meetings yield new strategies in advance networking; others inform something as simple as a new way to store important passwords. But no matter what, each session reveals something new and exciting from the world of data management and security.

This weeks takeaway: offsite or cloud-based data backup will suffice for most small businesses and contractors. It is low-cost and generally very secure. However, it isnt perfect and requires a degree of oversight.

Thats because the greatest threat to data security is human error. Machines are only as smart as the humans who program and police them. So if data backup is done on-site and is self-managed, it calls for time: time to screen it, protect passwords, enforce limited access, assign confidentiality, etc.

Of course if time is of the essence or the amounts of data are large and convoluted, there is the offsite backup. Using military-grade encryption, the information is continuously replicated at a secure data center and quickly brought back online in case of a disaster or accidental loss.

Ongoing monitoring is key in secure data backup, said Emil Isanov, CEO of ETech 7 Inc. Whether its something thats done locally or using offsite cloud computing, watching over your data spells the difference between I am up and running! and I lost everything!
