U.S. and U.K. Companies Form Transatlantic Offsite Data Storage Partnership

IFSA Data Storage, Inc. of Magnolia, Ark., and Lumison, Ltd. announce a transatlantic partnership which allows clients to store data on multiple continents.

Both IFSA-DSI and Lumison currently offer their clients secure, offsite
data storage services. The data storage systems employ client software
with high-level encryption to securely transfer backup data over the
Internet. The data is then stored on RAID (redundant array of
independent disks) technology at the offsite location. The client
software is available for machines running Windows, Linux or MAC OS.
Incremental backups are used to reduce backup size and transfer time by
backing up only the data that has changed since the last full backup.
Data compression technology is also used to reduce the data transfer
time. Other features include the ability to backup Microsoft Outlook,
schedule or manually run backups, and receive email notifications once
a backup has been completed. During the data restore process, the
client can use the backup software and their private encryption key to
retrieve the data from the offsite storage location to any
Internet-connected computer in the world.

Philip A. Betsch, President of IFSA-DSI said, "Working together, our
companies will create a transatlantic partnership serving the secure
offsite backup requirements of our respective clients via the Internet.
This will allow each company to offer services to clients based in the
U.S. with subsidiaries in the UK and vice versa."

Lumison, formerly known as edNET, is a leading U.K. hosting and service
provider. Lumison has been developing and deploying Internet protocol
(IP) technologies for almost 12 years. The company offers many services
