While there are several products to do online backup and data vaulting, VAULT400’s broad platform coverage and focus on the IBM System i, set it apart from the competition. VAULT400 is a premier managed service for secure online backup and disaster recovery. VAULT400 backs up an entire organization’s business-critical data to VAULT400’s secure data center. Safe and Off-Site, the Encrypted Data is available online at all times for immediate, user-initiated recovery. VAULT400 works seamlessly in an organization’s existing infrastructure. According to the company, “The VAULT400 plug-in technology provides complete DR protection of the system, end-to-end data security, advanced compression, concurrent LPAR backups and easy to use Interface.”
According to Dave Caudle, MIS Manager at Lorraine Home Fashions in Charlotte, NC, “LHF protects our 9406-520 System i Server data utilizing VAULT400. They do an outstanding job of compressing, seeding and handling our daily deltas. The entire process is automated. We get our data off site, compressed & encrypted. The DR Quick ship program is an excellent added benefit. We didn’t have a formal disaster recovery plan in place and the HA products available today are too expensive for a small to medium company such as ours. That said, the DR Quick Ship Program fits the bill very nicely … and we don’t pay for it unless we use it. At that point, insurance will pick up the cost and a system will be on the way to one of our Charlotte facility or UCG’s Data Center should we elect to have it ship there.
