| Dobson Telephone Company launches CoreVault, Inc. Dobson Telephone Company announced today that it has launched a new data security and management company under the name of CoreVault, Inc., employing its extensive fiber optic network and data centers to provide new online data storage and recovery services throughout Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. Dobson Telephone and related companies have been serving customers in rural Oklahoma communities for more than 70 years. "CoreVault's products and managed services are designed to replace or enhance data backup solutions used today, " said James Rutherford, president of Dobson Telephone. "We will focus on helping companies meet their disaster recovery needs securely and efficiently. While computer technology has evolved at an extraordinary pace in recent decades, many companies still rely on storage technologies, such as tape-based systems, that are unreliable, inefficient and not always secure. "Market research indicates that a company's data storage needs will increase on average at a rate of 30-to-40 percent annually. U.S. businesses will invest a staggering $66 billion on maintaining and upgrading their data systems each year over the next 5 years*. With the escalation of security threats from hackers, terrorist attacks and natural disasters, security concerns are very high, and this is complicated by state and federal mandates, such as HIPAA and Homeland Security regulations, that make compliance and management of critical data difficult for small to medium size companies, " Rutherford said. "CoreVault will be targeting businesses in the five-state region of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas, " he said. "Our products are affordable, extremely robust and easy to use, facilitated by our software platform, which interfaces with most operating systems." "Our online service allows companies to have a more reliable, secure and automated process for backing up their data, " Rutherford said. "Many companies have significant risk exposure in this area. According to The Gartner Group, a nationally recognized research firm, 34 percent of companies fail to test their backups, and of those that do, 77 percent have found tape back up failures." With its own fiber optic networks and secure data centers, CoreVault can provide a higher level of security for data backup. "We feel this is a significant differentiator between our competitors and CoreVault. We have primary and secondary vaults, with fully redundant protection in the unlikely event of a site outage, " he said. "We are excited about the opportunity, and our ability to offer a service that guarantees that our customers' data is both secure and recoverable." write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Networking News :: home page |
