New York-based Document and Records Storage Company Entrusts Backup My Info! for Off-Site Backup and Disaster Recovery

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 14, 2010

Backup My Info! (BUMI), the premier provider of managed online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses, today announced that CitiStorage – a document and records storage company – continues to utilize BUMI for its off-site backup and disaster recovery needs. Headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, CitiStorage provides its clients with dependable and cost-efficient records management solutions.

Prior to BUMI, CitiStorage relied on a tape system to backup its own data. However, when a major server failed at the company and they needed to retrieve critical data, CitiStorage discovered that its tape system was not consistently producing viable backups. With more than four million boxes tracked, and 20 million barcoded files, this could have been a disaster for a company whose database changes every minute.

“This near crisis proved to us that we needed redundancy in our own data retention system, and we needed a more secure way of backing up our mission-critical information,” said Louis Weiner, President of CitiStorage. “We selected Backup My Info! to safeguard our business critical information. It is essential for us to know exactly what records we have and where all files are – at all times.”

Within weeks of selecting BUMI, the company was backing up all of CitiStorage’s critical business data from six servers – including application software, records management data, accounting data, email, and everyday business files. Mr. Weiner feels secure knowing that BUMI is watching the backup process each day. His team receives a daily email verifying the backup status and a phone call anytime a backup did not run correctly. They also receive a monthly update to confirm that the right data is being backed up.

“After deciding to implement a new backup service, most of the companies we spoke with only sold software solutions, leaving us on our own to manage the entire process,” said Mr. Weiner. “But BUMI impressed us from the beginning and made us feel extremely comfortable with their secure online backup process. They also made us feel like we were their only client, and that is the type of customer service that you rarely see these days.”

“For an organization such as CitiStorage – which manages so much data that changes on a daily basis – it is essential to have a backup process that is actively monitored,” said Jennifer Walzer, CEO at Backup My Info!, Inc. “Because CitiStorage had been through a disaster recovery situation in the past, we wanted to make sure they felt 100 percent safe, secure and confident with our service. We understand that restoring data is critical to every business, and we want our customers to know they are our number one priority.”

New York-Based StrikeAd Expands International Operations to Asia

New York, New York (PRWEB) August 06, 2012

StrikeAd, the worlds first mobile Demand Side Platform (DSP), today announced a major expansion into the rapidly growing Asian mobile advertising market. Carl Costa has been hired as Managing Director to lead the expansion and will be responsible for managing operations across Asia Pacific, including Australia and New Zealand, and driving awareness and brand recognition of StrikeAds dedicated mobile DSP in the region.

StrikeAd will headquarter its Asian operations from a new office in Singapore, where the company is hiring top local executives. For the past year, StrikeAd has partnered with mediba Inc., a leading Tokyo-based advertising business, to bring its platform into the Japanese market. With the establishment of its own office and operations in Asia, StrikeAd will further solidify itself as a leading mobile DSP in the region. StrikeAds Asia Pacific expansion follows the companys recent relocation of its world headquarters from London to New York.

With mobile advertising in Asia Pacific expected to reach nearly one quarter of the global spend in online advertising by 2014, we felt it was extremely important to establish a strong and independent foothold early on in the region, said StrikeAd CEO and Founder Alex Rahaman. Carls deep and valuable experience in the Asian mobile advertising market makes him a key appointment for the company. With StrikeAds rapid expansion, he will be invaluable in helping to grow the company in this new and exciting market.

Weve witnessed the massive upturn in the adoption of smartphones across Asia over the last 12-18 months and as a result, budgets for mobile are only increasing, said Mr. Costa. We are in the prime position to help educate the market in Asia Pacific on the benefits of using a mobile DSP with real-time bidding capabilities, and were building a local team ready to deliver this effectively to the market. Our DSP platform is second-to-none, and we are excited to break into this rapidly growing market.

With over a decade of experience in the mobile advertising industry, Mr. Costa brings to StrikeAd extensive knowledge and experience in the mobile market, specifically in the Asia Pacific region and other foreign markets. Prior to joining StrikeAd, he was a founding member and managing director of 24MAS, the successful mobile gaming and advertising network, where he led the development of strategic partnerships with Nokia Siemens Networks in Asia. Previously, Mr. Costa was Vice President of Sales for Europe, the Middle East and Africa for Enpocket, a global mobile media company providing integrated entertainment and mobile marketing services that was acquired by Nokia in 2007.
