Business ISP, altoHiway, has announced the launch of a new online managed data backup solution. The service is designed to offer businesses complete data security and a more advanced, resilient, and cost-effective alternative to tape.

Data back-up and storage of mission critical information is vital to any organisation's protective armoury and ability to trade, yet tape storage can be costly and labour intensive. BusinessVault has been designed to surpass conventional backups by providing the core of a disaster recovery strategy.

The Internet-based solution ensures all information is securely encrypted and saved in two geographically separated data centres, so IT staff can focus on their core roles without having to worry about tape backup. BusinessVault Office uses a local file store then transfers data by the user's normal Internet link to a secure data centre, where it is mirrored to a second, geographically remote, location. This promises to allow you to restore data in minutes rather than hours or days, providing the reassurance of fast recovery and minimum disruption to staff, customers and trade.

For off-site and mobile staff, Business Vault Remote provides for backup from home, offices, customer sites and Wi-Fi hot spots by automatically creating a backup at scheduled times of the day. Online backup and restore is possible from any Internet connection. A flexible and scalable solution, BusinessVault can grow with your business. It also comes with service level agreements providing users with the reassurance of fast, effective recovery if things do go wrong.

Chris Wood, sales & marketing director of altoHiway comments: 'BusinessVault heralds the way forward for data back up with businesses now looking for more cost and time-effective alternatives to tape. By removing the burden of back-up from IT staff, BusinessVault offers a more advanced and reliable solution that can enhance an organisation's existing disaster recovery procedure.

'With many businesses now re-evaluating if their existing system could cope with a sudden loss of data, BusinessVault provides a flexible and scalable solution that can grow with any organisation.'
