Smarttech and Cork Internet eXchange Partner to Offer Secure Cloud Server Backup and Disaster Recovery Solution

Organisations are gradually relying on cloud-based backup and disaster recovery tools to protect their critical data and business operations. Digital data is growing massively each year, while traditional backup solutions can be expensive and can fail causing organisations data loss.

Smarttech and CIX today announced a long-term alliance agreement that brings together distinct capabilities in security, services, and scale from two industry leading information storage and management companies.

This partnership offers customers a unique combination of technology and trust. Combining Smarttech’s expertise as an innovator in data protection with CIX’s reputation as a trusted provider of secure colocation services, will provide organisations with security, reliability, and trust.

CIX will offer Smarttech Cloud Backup and Cloud Disaster Recovery services with the benefit of their data being protected in the CIX Data Centre in Cork. Through this partnership organisations will be able to:

• Protect their servers with nonstop backup into a secure, high availability data centre;
• Receive recovery services with Smarttech’s industry leading recovery team within agreed upon service-level agreements

Companies interested in finding out more about data backup and recovery can attend a free Smarttech and CIX seminar on February 5^th at 3PM at the Cork Internet Exchange in Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Cork. As a bonus, Smarttech will offer 3 months of data backup for free for those attending.
