VeriStor Launches New Cloud-Based Service for Secure Data Replication & Recovery, Continuity and Archiving

ATLANTA, March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- VeriStor Systems, the Southeast region's leading enterprise data storage and virtualization solution provider, today announced the launch of VeriStor Cloud Services, a new fully-managed and on-demand virtual infrastructure that offers enterprise-class data replication and recovery, continuity and secure archiving through both Public Cloud and Hosted Private Cloud options. Built using the latest technologies, processes and architecture, VeriStor Cloud Services provides ultimate flexibility and efficiency while, at the same time, delivering security and cost-efficiency as good or better than typical internal deployments.

"For companies that want to implement a truly effective data replication, continuity and archiving strategy, there must be a robust interconnection and coordination between their primary site and offsite facilities," said Steve Bishop, chief technology officer, VeriStor. "That's why we created our new VeriStor Cloud Service. Unlike product-exclusive, 'on-premise-only' value added resellers or service-exclusive 'hosted-datacenter-only' service providers, VeriStor can offer the complete end-to-end solution as a turnkey service. Now companies can rely on one expert provider to support their entire infrastructure – from on-premise to the cloud – all for a low monthly or quarterly fee."

VeriStor Cloud Services is built using a state-of-the-art infrastructure that resides in secure SAS-70/SSAE16-certified datacenters and is fully managed and monitored on a 24 x 7 basis by VeriStor Virtual Infrastructure and Storage engineers. The service use best practices to support major regulatory compliance requirements including SEC 17a4, PCI/DSS, HIPAA, HITECH, Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) and Gramm-Leach.

VeriStor Cloud Services offers a range of cloud-based services including:

• Cloud replication and recovery for Dell EqualLogic
• Cloud replication and recovery for VMware vSphere
• Cloud continuity for VMware vSphere
• Cloud secure archiving

Cloud services for compute, network and storage resources can be securely added online, dynamically as needed. As business needs change and scalability is required, data can be easily migrated between on-premise and cloud infrastructures. Complete data monitoring and reporting is offered so that customers can have instant visibility into where applications are running and where data resides at all times.

"Our new VeriStor Cloud Services have been carefully designed to provide an easy-to-adopt path for our customers," said Ashby Lincoln, president and CEO, VeriStor. "We believe, like many, that most initial enterprise and mid-market cloud deployments will be hybrid solutions, with 'outside of the datacenter' components being closely tied to internal infrastructure.  Our capability to support both the on-premise infrastructure, through our successful integration services business, combined with our new Cloud Services makes VeriStor uniquely qualified to deliver both sides of this hybrid solution.  As a result we provide true, end-to-end continuity for our customers."
