Datafort of Guildford has developed an affordable solution to prevent potential downtime that could be disastrous for businesses.
Their innovative product allows companies to compress their data using a 256-bit financial grade encryption. This compressed and encrypted data is then sent over the internet to one of Datafort’s fireproof and alarmed data centres, which house high-quality, raid-enabled, SCSI-mirrored disk servers.
The data remains securely compressed and encrypted until it is retrieved and restored within the company’s firewall.
The process is incredibly simple. The first step involves backing up all the important information currently stored on the company’s computer or computers.
Datafort’s Off Site Back-up Software then compresses and encrypts the selected files before transmitting them to their mirrored disk servers through the internet connection.
Once the initial full back-up is complete, the software regularly scans the specified directories for any new or changed files.
In the event of needing to restore a single file or an entire system, users can easily access an archive directory, select the necessary files for download, and restore them to any computer with the encryption key.
The pricing for this service varies based on the amount of storage space used. Considering the high level of security and peace of mind it provides, Datafort’s charges are likely to be acceptable for most small businesses.
