Cloud Offerings

Excellence is perfection, standing out from the crowd. It starts with our philosophy and vision, going beyond the way in which the work is carried out. Secure data vaulting is a very specific business. For our customers and for us, as secure data backup specialists, the focus is on continuously improving processes and to always live up to the trust placed in us. Every time, everywhere.

Our commitment to integrity is a cornerstone of our past, present and future success. This drives our dedication to uphold ourselves to the highest standards of business conduct. By continuing to demonstrate performance with integrity, we’ll strengthen this important part of the foundation for our on-going success and deliver exceptional value to our customers, partners, employees and communities.

Security is always a concern especially when transferring sensitive business information or personal files. Not only is security and confidentiality important to our customers, but it is also a prime concern of iStor. Without security and integrity in every aspect of our service, our own business and reputation would be in jeopardy. We believe that the best way to have a secure operation is to nourish a culture of security in every corner of the company.

iStor understands its responsibility to the global environment and believe that we should play a constructive role. We strive for continuous improvement in our environmental performance that goes beyond just meeting the standards.

We specialize in secure data storage, with no other distractions. This means you get the full weight of our in-depth knowledge, specifically shaped to your needs.

As data volume continues to grow at exponential rates, companies of all sizes are facing the challenge of managing and protecting this data.

iStor global multi-level data de-duplication significantly reduces backup window, network bandwidth utilization and storage needed to retain and protect enterprise data.

iStor Data de-duplication identifies and eliminates redundant data at the source level and across the entire organization – including remote offices and mobile users.

Key benefits:
◾Reduced backup window
◾Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO)
◾Reduced network bandwidth utilization
◾Faster recovery

In today’s highly distributed business world, companies are operating more remote/branch offices (ROBO) and hiring more remote employees than ever before.

Data in remote/branch offices requires the same type of protection, security and availability as data residing within the data centre, and is subject to the same compliance requirements.

And that’s not so simple without tools designed specifically for remote offices and remote employees.

iStor dramatically reduces the risks, costs and operational failures associated with protecting and recovering data at your remote/branch offices.

Whether you choose to perform backups at the remote site for local restore or over a WAN for distributed protection, iStor provides multiple advanced features, including centralized management, global source-based de-duplications, encryption and bandwidth throttling.

When searching for data backup solutions, people often overlook notebooks and other mobile devices. Secure backup isn’t just for big corporate servers… On the contrary, most top executives and highly skilled professionals are storing more and more data on their notebooks, risking major losses in time and information if their notebooks are stolen or the hardware fails.

iStor continuously and automatically protects data on notebook and other mobile devices. With data de-duplication and highly effective compression, there’s no performance impact on the end users or the network.

Backup administration can be performed centrally by IT staff or locally by the end user.

A high level of data security is a key element in our backup service.

Before any data is transmitted, it is encrypted using industry-leading data encryption technology and remains encrypted while in storage and at rest.

Only the customer has the encryption key and all processes are logged, providing a clear view of the chain of custody.

If the encryption key is lost, there is no mechanism or facility allowing the recovery of encrypted data. To prevent such a situation we recommend a third party Encryption Key Escrow Service.

Secure communication (SSL) provides additional security on top of the data encryption during all communication and data transmission.

Remove the need for local admin staff to do backups at remote sites.

Manage all your backup administration from one central location. Restore any data from any backup to where ever it’s needed in the business.

Data is compressed and encrypted, then immediately transferred to 3 geographically dispersed secure data centres or to your off-site/DR location.

No human intervention is required to get the information to a safe location. This ensures that all of your data is protected and recoverable, whether to an existing location or to a disaster recovery facility.

iStor is continuously developing support for new applications, databases and platforms. We not only support major applications but also many others, localized or industry-specific. iStor works closely with software developers in order to provide optimized and reliable backup solutions tailored to a specific industry, application and customer.
