DS3 DataVaulting Announces Innovative Online Disaster Recovery Solution
Deployment with Ideal Innovations Underscores Benefits of Virtualization for Rapid Recovery of Data During Single Server and Entire Site Losses
Chantilly, VA…September 16, 2008 - 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 Disaster Recovery Solution, providing rapid data and full application restores via a fully virtualized environment. Ideal Innovations; a firm providing cutting-edge technological, scientific, managerial and security solutions to government and private industry; is utilizing this innovative solution to strengthen business continuity and lower operational costs.
DS3 DataVaulting’s Disaster Recovery Solution builds on DS3’s proven track record of data management success, providing a cost effective solution for online, virtualized recovery of data during both single server and entire site losses. The solution dramatically reduces the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for mission-critical servers without the need for costly, spare hardware or tapes, delivering fast restores to standby servers on site and to the DS3 DataVaulting data center. Single server failures, which account for the largest number of data loss instances, are fully and quickly addressed with near real-time failovers, providing operating level data restores within minutes. In the unlikely event of a total site failure, all servers can be quickly restored and made accessible via fully secure, remote access. DS3 significantly increases customer value with scalable, end-to-end disaster recovery integrating three backup points and unlimited off-site restores.
Ideal Innovations will utilize the DS3 Disaster Recovery Solution to significantly increase IT operational efficiencies and continuity. Providing highly secure technology solutions for civilian and government customers –
including numerous military deployments – Ideal Innovations is reliant on a secure, rapid and reliable disaster recovery solution that enables their IT staff to stay fully focused on their critical day-to-day tasks.
“DS3 allows me to function at a high rate of availability so we can keep our technology working as efficiently as possible while keeping costs down, enabling us to excel at what we do best,” stated Joshua Mordin, Director of Information Technology for Ideal Innovations. “DS3 is a true partner and I know they’ll be there when I need them 24x7, enabling me to focus on core business operations. I know my data is secure, well maintained and quickly accessible, making a real difference to my staff and my critical business missions.”
Stacy Hayes, DS3’s co-founder and COO stated, “The strength of DS3’s Disaster Recovery Solution lies in its ability to protect data at all levels through a fully virtual, tape-free environment. We welcome Ideal Innovations as a Disaster Recovery customer; their business model is a perfect example of how our scalable and cost effective solution works, combining the highest levels of security and data availability. The true peace of mind that comes with data protection at this level is something that can’t easily be measured, but we’re helping companies like Ideal Innovations obtain real competitive advantage because of it.”
