International data protection software and cloud solution provider, Attix5, via its longstanding partnership with Capita SIMS, has helped to ensure the successful roll-out of data backup services across thousands of schools in the United Kingdom.
SIMS is a Windows-based management information system (MIS) used by 22 000 schools in the UK to manage information on students relating to their achievement, behaviour and attendance.
Attix5 offers a safe and reliable remote backup and recovery service that protects the critical information generated and stored on school desktops, laptops and servers.
Attix5, the first and longstanding SIMS accredited backup solution, was selected as a partner based on the high calibre of its reference sites and the quality of its track record in technology integration and support.
Attix5 backup software Attix5 Pro now ensures the data of 8 000 schools is backed up automatically and can be recovered if required.
Due to the simplicity and nature of the product, Attix5 Pro is easy to support, with a high server to single support engineer ratio. This is an ideal solution for schools, academies and local authorities.
Petrus Human, CTO of Attix5, said the company's multi-tenanted, full range of cloud deployment options and onsite backup appliance offering ensures it is ideally positioned to add value to the continual growth of academies in the education space.
"We are very pleased with our partnership with Attix5. The data in SIMS is critical to the day-to-day management of a school and it is important to us to have a partner that can offer a reliable backup service so a school can recover quickly from a major incident such as a flood or fire," says David Grashoff, head of partner management at Capita SIMS.
