Laurus Technologies To Offer Managed Services For Data Backup And Archiving
Laurus Technologies, an IT consulting and professional services firm based in Itasca, IL, announced recently it will expand its managed services offerings to include archiving and backup services. The new capabilities will enable the firm to meet the needs of the estimated 40% of the market that is looking for a hosted backup and archive service. The services will be based on Symantec's widely-deployed Enterprise Vault platform.
"Customers have told us they are interested in solutions that move their backup and archiving requirements into the cloud so they can focus their resources on pressing business initiatives," said Brian Wolfe, partner and co-founder of Laurus Technologies, who heads the company's managed services business. "Our announcement today represents our commitment to deliver the highest standards in robust, reliable and certified remote backup solutions, without additional capital investment to our customers."
Laurus Technologies is now able to offer greater flexibility to help its enterprise customers meet the significant growth in their data storage, archive, backup, and recovery requirements. Challenges managing conventional backup and archive solutions such as tape have left many companies unable to restore crucial data at a time when increasingly stringent regulations have made data protection and recovery a critical business decision.
Laurus' managed services offering will be based on a network of highly-available Tier IV SAS 70 Type II data centers, running Symantec Enterprise Vault, the industry's leading e-mail and content archiving solution. Enterprise Vault is in use at more than 10,000 organizations globally and is recognized by leading analyst firms for its archiving and e-discovery leadership.
The announcement marks the latest initiative by Laurus to expand its managed services business. In addition to backup and archive solutions, Laurus' managed services line includes SaaS (Software as a Service), Master Data Management for SAP and Oracle and a suite of hosted security services.
