This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on July 24, 2009 at 3:32 pmSecureAgent Software (Tulsa, OK) and Computer Alternative Processing Sites (CAPS), Inc. (Shelton, CT) announced a business partnership, which will provide strategic data recovery and backup solutions for mid range and mainframe system owners and will offer strategic advances in the approach to data management. The companies jointly will make available the Secure Data Solution enhanced backup and recovery program. The combination of CAPS’ managed services and SecureAgent’s patented technology will create a game-changing services offering fully compatible with colocation, disaster recovery and business continuity needs.
The patented SecureAgent disk-to-disk technology delivers increased service levels, reliability and productivity. The elimination or reduction of tape mounting time, physical tape stock, tape drives, maintenance, off-site tape storage and logistics reduce user costs. Proprietary software features insure secure data compression and encryption at the highest legal levels throughout the process. This safer, faster system makes traditional tape backup obsolete.
A communications controller by SecureAgent consolidates secure remote user access connectivity from any location with remote console control features that include data encryption, data compression, Request-Challenge-Response user authentication and remote recovery system.
SecureAgent has earned not only an impeccable reputation as a pioneering data services solution provider, but also has been awarded more than a dozen U.S. and European patents.

They are a preferred solution for the world’s largest banks, communication companies and tier-one outsourcers.
