Cleversafe Selected by IQT

Cleversafe, Inc. announced a strategic investment and development agreement with In-Q-Tel (IQT), the independent strategic investment firm that identifies innovative technology solutions to support the missions of the U.S. Intelligence Community. This strategic partnership will enable Cleversafe’s Cloud Storage platform to be used in supporting the missions of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

"The Cleversafe solution firmly addressed the data reliability, replication, and security challenges that exist in many mainstream storage approaches, and virtually eliminates many threats of lost data with its dispersal approach," said William Strecker, Executive Vice President of Architecture & Engineering and CTO at IQT. "IQT’s strategic investment in Cleversafe reflects the opportunities we see for this innovative approach as a viable answer for distributed storage architectures. We are confident it will give our customers in the U.S. Intelligence Community a robust distributed storage solution that provides the levels of unmatched reliability they require."

The Cleversafe platform is for storing mission critical data by addressing the core principles of data confidentiality, integrity, and availability within its information dispersal architecture. This approach solves the security problems associated with Cloud Storage since Cleversafe secures the confidentiality of data by transforming it to be inherently secure.

"IQT’s selection of our technology truly speaks to the rock-solid features within the Cleversafe storage platform, and extends our presence and expertise in the federal market," said Chris Gladwin, president and CEO of Cleversafe. "The Cleversafe solution enables users to store and access sensitive data and files in a private cloud, knowing that data is secure and inaccessible to unauthorized users or systems if compromises should occur."
