Law Firm Thomas, Kayden, Hostemeyer & Risley Chooses EVault

EVault, Inc., a Seagate
company, announced that Thomas, Kayden,
Hostemeyer & Risley, LLP (Thomas | Kayden), an intellectual
property law firm in Atlanta, GA, has replaced its tape-based backup system with
EVault backup and recovery solutions, including the EVault Cloud DR Service.

It selected EVault for its hybrid offerings including onsite
technology for local backups and restores plus offsite technology for remote
DR. EVault services provide Thomas | Kayden with 24/7 support,
guaranteed DR, and greater protection of its clients’ valuable data.

Legacy tape-based systems had difficulties protecting client
archives and keeping up with the firm’s increasing digital data storage needs.
Additionally, restores were slow, especially in the event of a disaster,
leaving Thomas | Kayden’s nine virtual and physical servers vulnerable.

"Choosing EVault was a
no-brainer," said Jack Huddleston, Thomas | Kayden’s director of
operations. "I looked at EVault’s
security and at how quickly we could recover our data. What impressed us most
was the company’s depth of technical knowledge. EVault is the complete package:
the right mix of an outstanding product and an outstanding support team able to
provide outstanding service."

The switch to EVault cloud-connected backup and recovery services
provided staff with peace of mind. Today, local
and offsite backups and restores take place automatically and ensure
transparent protection of important client data.

"Our recent DR test with
EVault was a huge success," Huddleston said. "In the operations world, if something
happens to client data, our organization is now able to continue to provide
services to our clients. That’s very important to us. Losing our data could
bankrupt our firm."

"Law firms with client
data are particularly sensitive to the effects of data loss resulting from a
disaster," said Terry Cunningham, president and GM of EVault. "Thomas | Kayden needs to know they are
prepared for any situation, and that their backup and recovery system is
scalable and can accommodate growing archives of client information. By
switching to EVault, the company’s IT staff can rest assured that their data is
fully protected and can be restored quickly and easily."
