Data Protection Companies Create Secure Data Backup Infrastructure

IFSA Data Storage, Inc., and Data Protection Services, Inc., have created a partnership to expand their product and service offerings, including electronic vaulting services, disaster recovery, and product lines from Cisco Systems, Hitachi, DataDomain and others.

Magnolia, Arkansas (PRWEB) October 2, 2007 -- IFSA Data Storage, Inc., (IFSA-DSI) and Data Protection Services, Inc., (DPS) have joined together to create a partnership which offers clients the ability to create a secure data backup infrastructure.

Each company's products and services complement those offered by the other company. DPS offers its clients tape drives, while IFSA-DSI offers offsite tape storage in their secure, patented Firelock vault. DPS offers its clients the hardware and software to perform disk-based backups, while IFSA-DSI allows customers to transfer that data offsite via secure Internet connection to be stored on redundant storage arrays within IFSA-DSI's vault.

Philip A. Betsch, president of IFSA-DSI, said he was delighted with the new association with DPS. "Working together, both firms now offer clients a comprehensive portfolio of solutions to meet their secure data archive and backup storage needs."

The partnership combines the expertise of both companies and brings together the network of professional connections that each company possesses, such as Cisco Systems, Hewlett-Packard, DataDomain, Hitachi, Firelock, and BMS CAT.

"Data Protection Services is pleased to offer the facilities and services of IFSA Data Storage to our customers and prospects," said DPS president John Atha. "Many companies do not have a dedicated disaster recovery site, and IFSA-DSI fills that need rather nicely. We believe this is a natural complement to the storage hardware, software, and services we offer today and look forward to a mutually rewarding relationship."
