Irvine, CA and Littleton, CO – November 1, 2011: New Cloud File Archiving solution

Waterford Technologies, a leader in file management and email archiving solutions, announced a partnership with Open Source Storage to offer the Infinidisc Never Full Cloud Archive Service as a secure, remote archive to their customers. The breakthrough in low cost pricing is accomplished with advanced technology and extremely reliable media.

“More organizations are looking to cloud-based SaaS storage to save money and resources,” said Tom Politowski, President of Waterford Technologies. “Infinidisc Cloud Archive sets a new standard for price competitiveness. A five terabyte entry-level vault is only $500 per month which includes a local storage appliance on the customer’s site. It’s perfect for seamless integration of file access for multi-terabyte data users such as media providers, healthcare, government, and others that need long term archiving at a very low cost.”

By adding Infinidisc Cloud Archive capabilities, Waterford Technologies’ MailMeter and File Archiver will invisibly backup or move archive data to an encrypted cloud storage location via a secured link. IT executives can rest assured that their files and emails are protected and available in the event that a catastrophic incident occurs at their local facility.

The Infinidisc Cloud Archive service consists of a local storage appliance with a disk cache that communicates over an encrypted link to the Infinidisc servers. The data is automatically stored on LTO tapes, duplicated and stored in multiple locations. End users just click on the “Smart Stub” created by Waterford Technologies’ File Archiver, which replaced the files in their original location, and the file is opened automatically from the local cache, remote cache, or archive.

“As we look to expand our solution capabilities, working with Waterford Technologies brings an important capability to customers looking for cost effective long term retention of corporate assets, including email and files,” said Michael Hardy, vice president of Business Development for Infinidisc. “The ability to add seamless access to a remote archive gives customers unprecedented control over their digital destiny.”
