DataFort Builds On Microsoft Data Protection Server Launch For Business Continuity Planning

September 26, 2004 -- DataFort, the leading provider of managed off-site data backup, today welcomed the announced launch of Microsoft's' Data Protection Server (DPS) as a complement to its suite of backup services.

"DPS, part of the Windows Server System, will allow the storage of all information needed for a ‘bare bones' restore of servers using Microsoft server operating systems," explains Gavin Smith, Founder and CEO at DataFort. "It becomes a powerful business continuity tool when combined with off-site backup of the server's files."

"DataFort is committed to full integration with Microsoft Data Protection Server ahead of its launch in 2005. The two systems will coexist -- DataFort's server-managed backup software integrating smoothly with Microsoft's onsite disk backups to provide a complete ‘Data Protection Solution' for businesses with five to fifty servers," continues Smith.

"This combination of products will support a large range of backup needs. From simple file recovery by an individual user to server rebuild to full-scale site disasters where access to the primary business location is lost. For the latter, DataFort, or one of its channel partners, will provide a fully recovered Microsoft Data Protection Server with all data and server build states intact within 24 hours. That means enterprise-level security is now well and truly in the hands of SMEs."

Educational Seminars
DataFort will be holding a number of seminars for both dealers and IT managers about how the Microsoft's Data Protection Server and the ‘Data Protection Solution' can provide real benefits for SMEs, as well as how to effectively implement these combined technologies in a variety of disaster scenarios. Readers can pre-register interest at http://www.datafort.co.uk/pr/seminar.asp.
