Optimum Solutions Chooses UCG VAULT400 BaaS

United Computer Group, Inc. (UCG), , an information technology services firm, announced that Optimum Solutions has chosen its VAULT400 BaaS as it’s backup and DR solution.

It provides cloud backup for Optimum’s IBM i servers to ensure backup and restores. Their backup time has been cut from hours to minutes. Backup is automated and encrypted throughout the process with only the user having access to the data.

It was chosen by Dave Waters, manager of IT operations, Optimum Solutions, to backup engineering development data on the IBM i.

“Beginning in 2011 we started discussions with UCG on backup and DR solutions. At that time we were testing the waters with various backup methods to move our data from tape. Tape backup had become burdensome, and when we were ready to make the transition in 2014, VAULT400 Baas was our solution of choice,” says Dave. “We did our homework.“

As B2B partners, both companies have opened many doors to provide clients with complete HRIS and cloud backup and DR solutions. UCG’s IBM i clients have support with their partner in making payroll and HR management simple. Optimum Solutions clients have a backup and DR solution available to them for IBM i, Windows, VMware and all supported platforms with VAULT400 Baas.

Cloud backup has become competitive, but UCG has found their niche business as others have seen their doors shuttered. Focus on the IBM i and open systems from 10GB to >100TB coupled with DR options has proven its strength in the market.

Optimum Solutions is a software company for payroll, human resources and time and attendance. Their history in the HRIS software arena has placed them as an Inc. 500 award winner and named them one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S.
