High Liner Foods Selects Data Storage Corp.’s Backup Solution

Data Storage Corporation announced
that High Liner Foods has selected
its SafeData
HA and SafeData
Vault solutions to fulfill its data protection requirements.

SafeData HA will provide real-time, off-site access to High Liner Foods’ data,
systems and applications in the event a system failure occurs. The food
processing company will also leverage the robustness of DSC’s SafeData Vault
service, powered by Asigra‘s cloud backup, recovery and restore platform, for the daily and monthly backup
of all data for retention purposes. DSC uses Asigra’s newest platform, Asigra v11, the cloud backup solution offering support for tablets and mobile devices.

High Liner Foods needed a solution to ensure the availability of its email
application, which serves as its standard form of communication internally and
externally to its customers; and its ERP platform which runs its logistics,
billing and other key operational functions.

"The SafeData HA
solution provides a hosted replication offering that guarantees access to data
within 15 minutes or less; while our SafeData Vault services, powered by
Asigra, provides backup with retention policies and easy access to aged data
for recovery when required," stated Matthew Grosso, executive vice
president at DSC.

As Asigra’s 2011 Partner of the Year, DSC joined Asigra at SNW Fall 2011 conference being held in
Orlando, Fla. from October 10-13, where they were showcasing next generation
cloud backup solutions and demonstrating the advantages of cloud-based Virtual
Disaster Recovery, powered by Asigra.

"Like many organizations, High Liner
Foods had challenges with meeting their recovery time objectives,"
explained Grosso. "Together with
Asigra, we are able to offer clients powerful data protection and recovery
solutions that ensure business continuity whether they experience a common
system failure or a natural or man-made disaster occurs. We have worked with
High Liner Foods for the past six months to make sure their specific needs are
addressed in a customized solution. We will be providing our managed HA
solution for IBM i and MS Windows network environments, as well as developing
off-site data storage with retention policies using the DSC SafeData Vault
services, powered by Asigra."

"We selected Data Storage Corp.
because of their extensive knowledge of both Windows and IBM i platforms,"
said Ryan Wall, network administrator at High Liner Foods. "As a new customer, we would rate our
experience so far as a 10 on a scale of one to 10 for project planning and
communications. We look forward to completing the project and gaining a peace
of mind that our mission-critical data, applications and systems are available
in real-time."

DSC’s SafeData HA solution is designed for those
organizations that have recovery time objectives of 15 minutes or less. For a
monthly subscription fee, DSC creates and maintains a mirror of its clients’ mission-critical
systems and data at a secure off-site data center ensuring their business is ‘switch ready’ in the event of planned or unplanned downtime.

DSC is now able to leverage the advanced functionality in
Asigra v11. The new version is a cloud backup
solution that is purpose-built to leverage physical and virtual environments,
has built-in, scalable mobility support that includes support for tablets and
smartphones, helping organizations meet regulatory compliance, while aligning
the value of data with the costs of protecting it.
