Network integration and infrastructure management
company Integr8 IT has launched a high-level data recovery
solution, called D8TA Vault, as part of its managed services
offering.
The solution caters for the off-site data storage and risk
assurance requirements of businesses operating in both the high-end
and small-to-medium bracket.
Integr8 IT managing directors Lance Fanaroff and Robert Sussman
said the solution aims to the increasing demands that most
businesses, large or small, have in terms of security and data
protection.
“D8TA Vault is a high-level data recovery solution. Clients can
synchronise and securely back up critical data to a secure online
off-site facility, thereby guaranteeing that their data is
completely safe when they shut down for the night. D8TA Vault is
housed within the MTN Network Solutions Switching Centre, offering
added protection, redundancy and security,” said Sussman.
Integr8 IT claimed the solution enables clients to access data
from anywhere in the world. It is secured by 448-bit Blowfish
encryption, with binary increments. Data is heavily compressed
resulting in a scalable, redundant, cost-effective service.
“The solution is more than taking out an insurance policy on
company data. Aside from the main advantage of peace of mind, the
client does not have to invest in bandwidth-intensive
synchronisation, there is no deployment cost or upfront cost, and
the client also has the option to 'manage’ the service, in other
words, initiate or terminate the service at any time,” adds
Fanaroff.
D8TA Vault is already in use within various medical and banking
institutions.
