New arrival on South African IT market

Johannesburg, 10 Apr 2002

Analyst research shows that up to 60% of a company`s vital information is stored unprotected on individual PCs. Cyber attacks, security, and protecting network infrastructure and PC data have far-reaching consequences on the longevity of a company which is the reason why more companies are taking steps to protect themselves from such incidents.

DataVault is a new offsite data storage company on the South African market that ensures business continuity by providing secure offsite protection of all data on desktops, laptops and servers.

Businesses are increasingly aware of the damage caused by viruses, cyber-security breeches and lost productivity due to downed systems and PC information loss. It is essential that every CIO and IT professional should fully understand the consequences that these threats pose to their companies and take steps to address them.

The DataVault has the solution. Offered as both an in-house and a hosted service, DataVault is the only product on the South African market that solves the PC management, secure online backup and disaster recovery needs for small, medium and large enterprises, even those with 10 000 PCs.

DataVault`s functional modules, which include Backup/Retrieve, IRoam, Heal, PC Migration, Asset Survey and Remote Assist, deliver system self-healing capabilities, enabling users and IT departments to easily and affordably manage the data contained on company`s PCs - regardless of quantity or location.

Backup/Retrieve allows the user to backup all files, operating system, applications and data contained on a system and to retrieve the information in the event of security breeches in the form of viruses, computer theft, loss and damage of hardware. The tool, IRoam, lets users retrieve backed up files through a Web browser, when the PC is out of reach, anywhere in the world. IT personnel, and in most cases users, are able to quickly repair damaged or corrupted applications, configurations, personal settings or files, on any PC/Laptop with the use of Heal. PC Migration identifies data and PC personality settings that are to be transferred to a new software or hardware platform. Asset Survey discovers and tracks hardware and software installation or removal for every PC within a company every time the system is backed up. Remote Assist is a tool that is used to educate and assist users by resolving problems with them, online and in real-time.
