“I look forward to taking a profitable and highly respected company like eSilo to the next level by expanding not only the reach of our technology but its ability to improve disaster recovery and business continuity operations in an efficient and cost-effective manner," said Jeffries. “It’s important for companies to feel confident that their data is safely backed up at a secure offsite location but we want to make them feel confident that they’ll be able to quickly and easily recover from business interruption if the need arises. That’s eSilo’s competitive advantage and one that I feel we can fully leverage to increase business opportunities.”
