FireVault, Inc. announced their dependable, Enterprise-level data backup solution for SMBs. The powerful, full-featured backup software is compatible with PC, Mac (OSX), and Linux operating systems. The Vault data consolidation appliance enables SMB owners to regain control of their employees' workstations. Every machine, from desktops in the office to laptops that may travel offsite, can be backed up and secured nightly.

"Our foundational principle is that there is no such thing as over-kill in file redundancy," says founder, Chris Drake. "We are in business to secure and protect SMB companies' critical data, and we have taken every precaution to protect privacy and ensure that each offsite data backup is transferred and stored in a secure environment."

Chris Drake has a history of starting, nurturing and maintaining businesses. He is presently an owner of TargetScope, Inc., a Plano-based Marketing and Advertising company that boasts clients such as Cold Stone Creamery, Pizza Inn, Hungry Howie's, Borden and Fossil. In addition, he is the sole-proprietor of TargetScope Hosting, Inc., a premier Web Hosting solution that provides Microsoft Exchange Hosting, Online Managed Application Hosting and Premium Website Hosting. FireVault has been a core component of TargetScope Hosting for some time.

FireVault stands by that promise and encrypts data throughout every phase of the backup process. From the initial offsite transfer to the data warehouse, the powerful blowfish algorithm is in place encrypting data at up to 448-bits. In addition, each customer account is protected by a 100 percent proprietary and confidential password. No one, not even FireVault Agents can access company files without the exclusive password. This protection helps customers comply with federal regulations like HIPPA, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, etc.

High-quality infrastructure has enabled FireVault to grow and satisfy customer demands with zero downtime or network impact. Every customer's data is housed in the 100 percent-Dell server environment that runs on a RAID-5 drive configuration, and this is just the tip of FireVault's enviable network infrastructure. Between the primary data center located in Dallas and the secondary (replication) data warehouse, FireVault provides every customer a minimum of three layers of file redundancy. Many complex online data backup schemes FireVault manages have more.

FireVault's Enterprise-level server environment facilitates a host of services and features that are often unavailable to SMB owners:

• Remote-Hands Installation Support is included with every service plan. FireVault's goal is to provide every customer access to best practices for establishing and maintaining an online backup routine. Amazingly, one-on-one personalized service is available at no additional charge, ever.
• Daily Email Reports deliver a brief, but reassuring, confirmation every time the online backup routine completes successfully.
• FireVault's unique Peace of Mind packet provides documentation and step-by-step instructions on how to quickly and easily restore data using the software.
• Service contracts are non-existent, and FireVault does not require customers to use any service for a specified length of time.
• Straightforward pricing helps SMB owners accurately predict online backup costs. Backup software licenses are free, and there are never "surprise" charges for bandwidth usage.

According to Chris, "Based on unanimous feedback from our users that this is better than any backup solution they've experienced, we decided to offer FireVault as a point solution. We've been offering a premium Web hosting solution at incredible speeds with TargetScope Hosting and feel that backup services demand the same level of security and connectivity."

"We pride ourselves in processing customer's online backups as quickly as their Internet connection will allow them to upload the files," commits Chris Drake. Premium bandwidth providers such as AT&T, Level 3, Sprint, MCI/UUNET, and Time Warner enable FireVault to maintain blazing-fast transfer speeds.
