Digitiliti Re-Launches Creating a New Paradigm in Enterprise-Class Remote Data Protection

Digitiliti Inc. (Pink Sheets:DIGI), a new paradigm in enterprise remote data vaulting, announced today its re-launch as a provider of on-demand backup services featuring unlimited scalability to support spiraling data growth rates across distributed network infrastructures. The company first launched in 2003 as a software developer and hardware integrator under the name Storage Elements but has since repositioned itself to focus solely on servicing the storage needs of enterprise-level accounts. With the volume, variety and value of corporate data doubling as often as every 10 months, Digitiliti offers the most advanced storage infrastructure to large corporations, while providing them with an easy-to-use, highly secure solution that protects the full range of enterprise data types – from operation systems, messaging applications and live databases to files on individual laptops. Companies are charged in direct proportion to the actual amount of data they have under protection, saving them on expenses typically associated with the hardware acquisition, software and IT personnel resources required to manage this expanding amount of information. "Data vaulting offered by managed service providers is gaining critical mass as acceptance among companies unwilling – or unable – to tackle this important task in house continues to grow,” said Brad Wenzel, Digitiliti’s CEO. "Digitiliti is one of the few that has the ability to take control of this emerging market at the enterprise level since we already have real-world experience in managing third-party data, a firm understanding of what is needed and wanted in remote backup, and the ability to pool resources to keep costs in check. Large corporations can be assured that their business-critical information is safely contained and accessible when needed.” Digitiliti provides an enterprise-wide data protection solution that offers centralized backup and restore operations from a single point of control without the need for agents, in addition to a next-generation feature set that includes: Massive Data Reduction – The volume of stored data is typically reduced to less than a third of the size of more traditional storage technologies. Through a combination of byte-level incremental backups and the implementation of data compression, the volume of information needing to be transferred to a vaulted location is significantly reduced. Highly Secure Data Protection – Digitiliti provides users with the highest levels of data encryption where the user holds the only key to unlock the data. With primary off-site vaulting to a former U.S. Federal Reserve bank and redundant replication to a second secure location, customers’ data is fully protected with no media or transmission loss. Unlimited Scalability – Only Digitiliti provides unlimited scalability without the need to upgrade from gigabytes to petabytes of information stored. The more data needing to be protected and the greater that data’s value, the greater the return on the TCO investment. Reliable and On-demand Availability – Recent versions of each file can be stored on local disk, while all versions are available on demand 24x7 from the remote data vault. Data validation protocols offer users the ability to validate every single byte of vaulted data with the click of a button or on a scheduled basis – a procedure that is unavailable to those using tape-based backups. Full system, immediate restores are fast and guaranteed. Facilitates Compliance – Digitiliti helps customers meet regulatory and security requirements by providing online availability, built-in full storage validation and full feature reporting on all activity. "The challenge of managing business-critical information continues to be of utmost concern for companies of all sizes – more so for the enterprise, which is compounded by the unpredictable nature of internal data growth, external regulations and the need to control department costs,” said Brad Wenzel, CEO of Digitiliti. "When you consider the cost of a tape library, enterprise backup software licenses and IT management resources, in addition to the risk involved in onsite backup, entrusting data protection to Digitiliti makes excellent business sense.” More information is available at the company’s website: http://www.digitiliti.com.
