Fantasy League Chooses Securstore

Securstore Ltd, provider of cloud backup
and recovery services, has been chosen by the Fantasy League Ltd to protect its
business data.

Having been established for over 20 years and the true original innovator of
the fantasy league format, the company wanted to align itself with a recognised
and respected provider that shared the same ethos as its own.

With over 80 clients worldwide and responsible for the largest fantasy football
game in the world for The Sun newspaper, which has well over a million
subscribers, the Fantasy League needed a simple and streamlined approach for
its data protection.

Securstores solution runs from a single piece of software installed on a server
that controls the entire networks backups. It can support the majority of operating
systems and applications such as Windows, Mac, Linux, SQL, SharePoint and
Exchange. Moving from physical to virtual environments is seamless as
Securstore can cater for environments including VMware and Hyper-V. Having this
scalable yet flexible platform means the Fantasy League can consolidate its
backups into a single solution.

Kemal Sahin, systems administrator, Fantasy League, said: "When it comes to the cloud in general and
especially with information stored offsite in a secure way, the market is in
fact very limited. We wanted to follow data protection laws and make sure the
provider met a certain criteria suited to our business needs, both commercially
and technically. Securstore was the ideal choice and we are happy to have chosen
them."

Security is of paramount concern for the Fantasy League. Securstore addresses
this by allowing data to be encrypted up to 256-AES with the encryption key
being chosen by the customer. If the key is misplaced then Securstore or any
other third party will not have access to the data making it obsolete. Data is
encrypted before it leaves the firewall and is stored offsite in two locations,
a failsafe for the Fantasy League.

Saaher Muzafer, CSO, Securstore, said: "After
much due-diligence we are happy to welcome on-board the Fantasy League to our
customer base. As a well-known and popular organisation that delivers fun and
interactive games across many platforms, it is good to see it values its
business critical data and the desire to keep it securely offsite in case of
any disaster. We look forward to working with the company."

The Fantasy League games can be played online, web, via mobile and tablet
devices, and has integrated betting, live scores, audience analytics and social
media support.
