Warwick, R.I. – September 8, 2008 – SafeData, LLC, a technology company focused on helping companies protect their data, minimize downtime and recover and restore data quickly, today announced major enhancements to its System i Recovery Service. The company's data recovery offering provides organizations with a 300 percent improvement in restoration times ensuring business continuity during system failures.

"The challenge with data recovery from electronic vaults is same as with tape backup," explained Peter Briggs, president of SafeData. "If your system fails, you still need to be able to restore data to a working System i server. Having a 'quick ship' model or providing the client with a mobile vault does not really address the need for the more rapid recovery times needed in today's face-paced business environment. Our Recovery Service not only dramatically improves restoration times, but does it at a price point that makes it accessible to all size organizations."

By implementing a virtual recovery solution at the target vaulting facility, SafeData can now perform a full restoration in just hours. SafeData has a large inventory of System i servers and logical partitions configured directly to its vaults via a high speed LAN connection. The customer has VPN connectivity to their data until their system is restored. The company's System i Recovery Service also offers an option for bi-directional connectivity and communication that takes the guesswork out of user access to the restored system.

SafeData's virtual restoration service is now available for the same price as traditional "hot site" approaches - the difference is a 48 to 72 hour recovery with a hot site versus three to 10 hours with SafeData's service.

"Disk-to-disk backup that is encrypted and copied to several different storage pools and combined with a guaranteed recovery in just hours is a compelling service offering for System i shops looking for adequate data protection and disaster recovery services for an increasingly competitive marketplace," added Briggs.

To complement its data recovery service, SafeData also offers Managed High Availability services for companies that have 24/7 requirements.
