NovaStor Partner GDS Launches Service Backup Solution

NovaStor Software partner GDS mbH announced GDS Backup, a complete local and online data protection service for €15/month.

Online data protection prevents companies from data loss due to media deterioration, theft, floods, fire and other disasters. However, for complete protection, a disk image must also be created locally. But working with two separate systems increases the price and work load for a data protection solution. Designed to meet the IT demands of medium-sized companies and public institutions, GDS Backup uses NovaStor’s xSP technology to bundle local and online data storage in a single, convenient, customized service. GDS Backup also includes an individual advisory service, so that companies do not have to go elsewhere for data protection advice.

To boost the price-performance ratio, GDS Backup has no set up fees or hidden charges. Customers simply pay a monthly rate based on the amount of data stored online. The entry level GDS Backup package includes software, online storage device, advisory service, and technical support for 15 Euro/month (net).

Other features include:

• A single application for automatic backups at the GDS data center and local storage, e.g. USB, CD, DVD, hard drive
• Secure end-to-end data encryption (AES)
• 2 GB online storage, which are backed up in two separated data centers to guarantee full data availability
• Fast data transfer, integrated antivirus protection
• Weekly security screenings for critical errors
