In the cloud
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on April 25, 2011 at 2:49 pmCiracom, Inc., a provider of customized IT solutions in the cloud, based in Fairfax, VA has launched its cloud-based data backup and recovery solution, Ciracom Cloud Backup.
Ciracom’s decision to apply cloud computing to its backup and recovery service will provide a secure alternative to the complicated, time-consuming, and error-prone traditional backup architecture method.
Unprecedented data growth is challenging companies of all sizes, placing increasing pressure on their backup and recovery initiatives. With mounting pressure to comply with regulatory requirements and improve disaster recovery practices, companies are experiencing dissatisfaction with traditional backup methods that are falling short regarding efficiency, reliability, and ease of use. In response, more organizations are moving their backup and recovery into the cloud.
Ciracom Cloud Backup is an agentless solution which makes it easier to support than legacy backup and recovery solutions. It offers a data protection solution that protects servers, desktops, laptops, structured and unstructured applications and raw files residing on the LAN as well as laptops in the field. It reaches out over the network to backup operating systems, file systems, and applications, using industry standard programming interfaces. As a result it captures less, ingests less, and stores less data thus reducing the amount of backup assets purchased, managed and maintained.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s FIPS 140-2 is a security requirement for cryptographic modules, or encryption. Ciracom Cloud Backup is an agentless cloud backup solution and is certified that its encryption meets these standards.
"We are thrilled to offer our customers more flexibility and freedom for their business continuity and disaster recovery needs. The Ciracom Cloud Backup service does just that – real-time data back-up with a choice on data centers throughout the United States. Ciracom is dedicated to providing our customers innovative services in the cloud and our new service is another example of that mantra," says Amy Rutt, President and CEO of Ciracom, Inc.
