Advanced Vision’s DataSafe Program

Advanced Vision’s DataSafe Program is an archiving  solution that overcomes the limitations of tape. It includes all the tools and functions you need to manage your distributed data from one central location, securely, reliably and efficiently.


It lets you effectively protect all your data, across your entire network.

Whether your data resides in servers, desktops or laptops; in a central LAN or distributed across a global WAN, you have the ability to archive it in a Level-III datacenter. Data from all these “data islands” can be securely encrypted compressed and transmitted over your network infrastructure to a central online repository for short and long-term archiving.

Central Data Storage = Peace of Mind

Centralized storage simplifies administration, significantly lowers IT overhead and provides the peace of mind knowing that your entire organization has a reliable disaster recovery plan. Tapes are subject to being misplaced, lost or stolen. When that happens you are responsible for notifying the authorities and any regulatory bodies of the problem and how you are addressing the issue. Should you have personal information on the tapes, like Social Security numbers, financial data or even dates of birth and addresses, it is your responsibility to notify those whom could be potentially damaged and assist with their protection and recovery. That alone could threaten the future of your organization.

Reliability

How many times have you heard the story of businesses relying on a tape recovery only to discover during the disaster that:

	The data wasn’t actually being stored to the tape.
	The data on the tape was somehow damaged and the data is irretrievable.

This is not uncommon and can be prevented with DataSafe’s automatic archiving and validation process. In addition to being archived this process verifies that the encrypted data is restorable. That means peace of mind that the data will be there when you need it!

Reduce Your Legal Exposure

Many companies believe that taking their tapes home with them at night provides a good method of protecting their data. On the surface that sounds reasonable, however this practice can prove to be a very costly and embarrassing mistake.

Archived data usually contains personnel records and confidential information. If you do a lot of work electronically with clients, you may have confidential client data in your systems.  By taking that information off-site you are assuming personal liability of the data contained within the tapes. If your house or car is broken into and the tape is stolen the risk from legal action from clients or employees increases dramatically. Even if it is not stolen, you could have to prove constant control of the tape in order not to be responsible for potentially compromising the data. 

Transportation and storage of your archive tapes in a non-secured method could expose you to liability with regard to negligence in the safeguarding of confidential data. The company could also be at risk of being negligent by allowing this practice.  

DataSafe will provide the geographic separation and security of your data. The “dual-key” encrypted and compressed data is sent via a secured tunnel to our datacenter in Kansas City, Missouri. It is also replicated to a secondary datacenter in Illinois. These facilities provide the continuous positive control of your data. Our datacenter operations group does not have access to either of the encryption keys, so there is no chance of data compromise.
