STORAGE ACCESS LAUNCHES BCN 1ST DEDICATED DISASTER RECOVERY

Storage Access Technologies Inc., a provider of data storage services, announced the launch of the Business Continuance Network (BCN), the industry's first disaster recovery network that is fully dedicated to supporting business continuance and disaster recovery strategies.

This new service platform leverages the company's Storage Utilities in Miami, Austin, and Atlanta in order to deliver a full suite of managed storage services, including fully managed turnkey data backup, electronic data vaulting, and data replication to secure remote geographies.

"Business continuance and disaster recovery solutions have traditionally ignored the needs of small and medium-sized companies," stated Paul Sachse, President and CEO of Storage Access. "The Business Continuance Network provides the platform to bring disaster recovery services to businesses of every size, at prices that are relevant to these businesses."

The company also announced the immediate availability of DoubleSafe, a groundbreaking service that provides, for the first time, a cost-effective means for small and medium sized companies to protect critical data via data replication. DoubleSafe quickly and securely replicates customer data in two geographically dispersed locations, at a price commensurate with standard T-1 service.

"The BCN network is providing our customers with common sense recovery options that can include levels of service at every price point on the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) grid, depending on their downtime tolerance levels," stated Matthew Haynes, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Storage Access. "BCN provides companies of all sizes with an affordable and effective disaster recovery option."

At the heart of the BCN is a Cisco Powered Network that enables the delivery of disaster recovery services via MAN, WAN or Internet connections. "Until now, inadequate scale has been the achilles heel of Storage Service Providers," stated Sachse. "BCN provides the platform to deliver high levels of scale, allowing us to deliver these critical services at prices that are affordable to businesses of every size."
