DS3 DataVaulting Continues Innovative Leadership Driven by Rapid Adoption of Virtualized Business Continuity/Disaster Mitigation Solution across Key Sectors
2008 Success Merges with 2009 Growth Path for Solidified Market Leadership
Chantilly, VA…February 23, 2009 -DS3 DataVaulting, a veteran data management solutions provider and the first in North America to manage a petabyte of customer restorable data, announced today its 2008 success and 2009 growth path. DS3 offers an advanced set of services that allows the customer to classify their data by value, protect each category differently and enjoy a more affordable solution thanks to the new found efficiencies.
Today, as a pioneering provider of virtualized business continuity/disaster mitigation (BC/DM) solutions, DS3 is setting new standards of excellence for enterprise data management.
The definition of a “disaster” is rapidly changing; only a small portion of data loss is attributed to such catastrophic events as hurricanes and terrorist attacks. In most cases, work can be easily shut down because of smaller, yet more frequent occurrences attributed to single server failures. DS3’s BC/DM solution is giving organizations the power to manage, protect and recover data, mitigating a wide spectrum of disasters. The solution can be implemented either through an outsourced managed service (hosted at the robust and fully secure DS3 DataVaulting Data Center) or as a turnkey system (hosted within the client’s infrastructure).
Because of DS3’s innovative approach, the Company continues to gain increased market recognition as a focused leader in BC/DM. In 2008, DS3 continued its track record of success with:
- A 40 percentage growth in customer restorable data managed by DS3, with the total reaching 1.4 petabytes
- A continued track record of 99+ percent recoverability compared to less than 50 percent for tapes
- The addition of 30 new partners, growing its channel to over 40 resellers delivering the DS3 solution market wide
- Growth in key sectors including 300 percent in hospitality, 100 percent in government, 80 percent in healthcare and 50 percent in finance
- Additional sectors including local government, education and not-for-profit increasingly adopting DS3’s BC/DM solution
2009 will see an even tighter focus on the development of BC/DM solutions that go beyond traditional back-up and restore capabilities. With recent studies showing that 90 percent of companies go out of business within 2 years after a disaster, it is clear that a new paradigm of corporate data protection is required.
“It’s no longer accurate to think of data as one piece of a business; data is now understood to be the operational underpinning of an enterprise and must be protected as such,” according to Stacy Hayes, DS3’s co-founder and COO. “The DS3 DataVaulting BC/DM approach ensures that a business can have access to its data in an instant, regardless of the level of disaster. In addition, our customers understand that service levels in BC/DM are only as good as the company that stands behind them. We are committed to keeping our clients up and running so they can stay focused on what matters most – running their businesses.”

About DS3 DataVaulting
DS3 DataVaulting was founded in 2002 to provide offsite, online data backup and restore services which enable customers to rapidly and securely back up and restore files, databases and operating systems. DS3 DataVaulting is the first in North America to manage a petabyte of customer restorable data. DS3 DataVaulting uses state-of-the-art software to schedule and perform backups. DS3 DataVaulting’s software detects and records only block-level changes, thereby reducing the amount of data which is required to be transmitted daily for backup. The data is compressed and encrypted onsite and transmitted via the Internet to the DS3 DataVaulting data vault where it is stored. Data files are available 24/7 in the event restoration is needed. Large data restores to support disaster recovery are managed by strict service level agreements with the customers. For more information, visit www.ds3datavaulting.com.
