CSA Waverley Secures Online Backup With i365 UK

NHS IT services provider, CSA Waverley, has agreed a strategic partnership with data protection solutions expert i365, A Seagate Company, to offer customers specialist back up and recovery services to the NHS.

Compliance and disaster recovery are firmly at the top of the boardroom agenda as public sector, and in particular NHS organisations, face the challenge of managing and protecting ever increasing amounts of critical data. This is dictating that organisations have to work more efficiently and effectively in the area of data protection.

The partnership will see CSA Waverley’s acute understanding of NHS challenges and i365’s expertise in data protection and retention management, help the NHS address the complexity of data growth and the demands of regulatory compliance.

The new service will uniquely enable NHS organisations to save time and money normally associated with manual tape backup by streamlining back up of business-critical data from UNIX and Windows applications using disk-to-disk technology at secure off-site service centers.

Andrew Boyle, MD of CSA Waverley said: "This partnership will enable us to deliver award winning, advanced level compliance and security services to our core market in the NHS. Put simply, with our technical expertise we can spot critical areas of need and offer an appropriate solution that helps health sector organisations deliver continuity of services more effectively through advanced IT."

Phil Evans, UK Country Manager of i365, A Seagate Company, concluded: "For i365, this business relationship is a natural extension, enabling us to offer our solutions to a far broader market. We hope that with our advanced product portfolio and Waverley’s healthcare experience we can deliver the best quality products and services to the NHS."
