Green Bay Packers With Venyu AmeriVault Backup

Venyu announced a new partnership with the Green Bay Packers to deliver its cost-effective and reliable AmeriVault online data backup and recovery solution. The Packers join a long line of professional sports teams partnering with Venyu to outsource and streamline their offsite data backup and recovery strategies.

The storied NFL franchise relies on Venyu to provide remote backup for its production servers including SharePoint and SQL. The team – which was recently named the number one sports brand by the Turnkey Sports Brand Index – chose to modernize its data backup and recovery routines following encouragement by the NFL to consider repercussions of natural disasters and the years of success other franchises have had leveraging the internet for these services.

"We needed a provider that could backup selected data and store it remotely, while also allowing us immediate access to our files in the event of an emergency," said Wayne Wichlacz, Director of Information Technology for the Green Bay Packers. "Venyu’s services run as an extension of our IT department, allowing us to focus on our core operations with the confidence that our data is safe."

Until recently, small to medium enterprises like the Green Bay Packers franchise were underserved with viable solutions to automate offsite storage to multiple geographies while providing fast recovery. The advent of affordable storage, fast internet speeds, and server virtualization gives organizations new ways to ensure recovery in the event of an outage or disaster.

"Just as SMEs can affordably and easily remotely access their corporate networks via the internet, these same advances have found their way into backup and disaster recovery technologies," said Jerome Wendt, President of analyst firm DCIG, Inc. "These online advances coupled with new server and storage virtualization technologies alter what SMEs can expect to accomplish, and how quickly they can expect to deliver backup and DR for their applications."
