Stage2Data Reaches Milestone

Jeff Collier, president of Stage2Data,
Inc. together with CTO Jacques Swanepoel announced that Stage2Data had reached a major milestone by eclipsing 1PB of backup data
under management.

Collier and Swanepoel addressed a group of Stage2Data associates and
conveyed a message: "With 1PB
of backup data under management it’s clear that we are now one of the most
trusted backup and recovery companies in North America. Surpassing the 1PB mark
is concrete proof that we lead the data backup and recovery market in support,
leading edge technology and market driven deployments."

Collier outlined how Stage2Data managed to reach this
milestone so early in the company’s history, saying: "Top of class solutions and support are what set us apart. Our clients
know that their data is 100% secure at all times and if they ever need support
or service our North American based support team is available 24 hours a day, 7
days a week."

Another reason Stage2Data has eclipsed the 1PB of backup data under
management? Decades of experience. It was
founded by Jeff Collier and Jacques Swanepoel and has grown from their
impressive track records as industry leaders. Both founders earned their backup and recovery credentials by being instrumental in the
building of the company EVault. When EVault was sold, the pair founded
Stage2Data. In 2009, Stage2Data was awarded the first North American Elite
Partnership with EVault and the company has continued to
grow and command the competitive market of backup and
recovery.

Another key factor in Stage2Data reaching the 1PB of backup data
under management is Attix5. In 2011 Stage2Data earned the highly
sought after Master Distribution for North America title for
Attix5, a disk to disk company in the UK and EU.

With a committed sales force and a growing partnership and channel network, Stage2Data is launching a new
appliance as well as preparing to launch Attix5 V7 in North America.
