Iron Mountain Digital Connected PC Backup announcement





We are very pleased to announce that Real Data Matrix has become the Value Added Reseller of Iron Mountain Digital Connected PC Backup.

Iron Mountain is not well known in this part of the world, but Iron Mountain is one of the most secure and world's most admired companies. They are focused on records management and in the recent decade, digital records management as well. They have almost 50 years history of protecting the most confidential of records, data, archive and one the US Government has trusted over the past few decades. As we know, the US Government is very paranoid about secrets and confidentiality and Iron Mountain is the organization they have entrusted their valuable national and state documents.

Real Data Matrix is pleased to represent Iron Mountain Digital, to provide enterprise data protection solutions in Connected PC Backup.

I was tempted to name this blog entry "Where is your data now?".

It is true, because as the organization and its connected (pun intended) personnel from full time staff to outsourced personnel, become more and more mobile, the data and information of the organization go beyond the 4 walls of the company. A field employee could be sitting at Starbucks now, keying in his order entry and a telecommuter could be at home reading his organization's records while entertaining some friends who have just came over.

As we review the boundaries of the organization's confidential data, we will soon realize that the organization's control of their data lies on the hands of these people I just mentioned. They can't control the way the data is being used, and if the data and information fall into the unscrupulous hands, then the security of the data and information is compromised.

Yes, it is said that 60% of the organization's data are out of the data center and the office. Depending on the industry, the value of the information lost is immeasurable. The lost laptop could cost about RM3500 (USD1000) but the price to recover, to recreate the data is going to be much higher than that. Even worse, if the information is compromised and falls into the hands of competitors, then the organization's market value is immediately threatened.

In the worst case scenario, national secrets could fall into the hands of terrorists and endangers the lives of its citizens.

Therefore, it is crucial to protect the data that is beyond the organization's walls. And the Iron Mountain Connected PC Backup is one solution that is trusted to do the job.

Connected PC Backup is highly efficient and works with network bandwidth as low as 28.8kbps. With its DeltaBlock(TM) and SendOnce(TM)technology, Connected PC Backup is able to deduplicate the data and send only unique changes to the backup server.

In addition to that, it is highly secure. With 128-bit AES encryption, it is able to encrypt the data, both in-flight and at-rest. Therefore, there are no worries of someone grabbing information while the data is transmitted over the wire OR reading the data on the stolen laptop.

And best of all, it is totally transparent, seamlessly backing the data with or without the knowledge of the owners of the laptops or desktops. With its self recovery, it also reduce the need for the laptop or desktop owners to pester the system administrator to recover lost or corrupted files. This, will indeed, improves operational efficiency (that word again!) and staff productivity.
