BluePoint Data Storage Inc announces that Consultis Inc has selected Bluepoint's suite of managed DataSafe services for the Boca Raton-based IT Staffing firm.

The BluePoint solution provides managed backup for all Consultis database, file and web servers and also includes BluePoint's recently announced set of infrastructure availability services, providing 24/7 administration, maintenance and monitoring for 12 Consultis servers and network systems. The contract also includes firewall maintenance, monitoring, intrusion detection, and active response services. The service is designed to protect the corporation's critical data, and to ensure availability of that data and critical systems and applications. The entire service is delivered on the BluePoint Business Continuance Network service delivery platform.

"We have been using BluePoint's Data Protection service for some time now," states Eric Gutmann, Systems Administrator for Consultis Inc. "Recently, we added their Infrastructure Availability services, which allow us to manage our business critical systems with a very high level of expertise at a cost that makes sense for our business. Our systems availability and security has improved and our costs have been significantly reduced. And with BluePoint's 100% SLA's and focus on customer service, our costs are predictable and our service levels to our end-users is higher," continues Gutmann.

BluePoint offers a complete line of availability, recovery, and professional services for the small to medium sized business customer seeking to achieve the highest levels of data protection and application availability at the lowest possible costs.
