Stacy Hayes President of DS3 DataVaulting

DS3 DataVaulting, a data management solutions provider and the first in North America to manage a petabyte of customer restorable data, announced the promotion of Stacy Hayes from Chief Operating Officer to President of DS3 DataVaulting.

Stacy Hayes is a co-founder of DS3 with a seven year leadership track record that has seen the company emerge as a pioneering data backup & restore company and then evolve into a leader in the business continuity/disaster mitigation (BC/DM) solutions market. As President of DS3, Stacy will respond to the growing demand for DS3’s solutions with the expansion of key channel relationships, continued development of the Company’s innovative solution set, and the further execution of collaborative customer strategies. DS3 has seen high demand for its support capabilities for virtual environments as organizations embrace this new tool as a key driver of significantly improved operational efficiencies and smaller cost centers for maintenance and hardware. Additionally, DS3’s innovative use of data tiering – the matching of storage levels with corresponding recovery time objectives and cost – has set DS3 apart in the marketplace. This approach meets the increasing price pressure typified in today’s backup & restore service provisioning market with a strategy that preserves quality of service while fully addressing customer cost concerns.

“DS3 DataVaulting has long benefited from the leadership and operational excellence demonstrated by Stacy as our Chief Operating Officer. It gives me great pleasure to announce that Stacy has been promoted to President of DS3,” stated William McCormick, Chief Executive Offer of DS3 DataVaulting. “Stacy has repeatedly and consistently proven his leadership ability and a strategic understanding of how our solutions directly impact our customers’ operational effectiveness. I especially look forward to working with Stacy as the new President of DS3.”

“In early 2000, the marketplace’s idea of data management and disaster recovery was one driven by fear and a sense that something had to be done, with an uncertainty about how to do it,” stated Stacy Hayes, DS3’s co-founder and President. “I was excited to help found DS3 seven years ago because it was clear we had a unique opportunity to help shift the market to a newfound understanding of business continuity/disaster mitigation as an operational driver of business success. I look forward to serving as President of DS3 as we continue to help our customers realize this vision.”
