Internet Facilitators Sign Contract With Backup Technology

In UK, Internet Facilitators Ltd (IFL), provider of business class data centres, has signed contracts with Backup Technology Ltd, an online backup and disaster recovery specialist, to provide their primary Data Centre location.

The 5 year contract provides backup technology with a highly secure dedicated suite accommodating 18 server racks within the high specification IFL2 data centre at Reynolds House in Manchester.

Offering secure, automated and scalable backup, disaster recovery and business continuity services designed to grow with their clients’ business, Backup Technology services are now regarded as the industry standard method for protecting vital data.

The key to Backup Technology’s success has been its partnership with Toronto-based Asigra – the world’s leading provider of online backup and disaster recovery software.

Simon Chappell, Backup Technology Managing Director says: “Working with the likes of Asigra and BlueArc, as well as other leaders in our field, we are able to draw on the best software and hardware capabilities in the world to deliver market leading solutions. Identifying a data centre that will safeguard our server equipment and deliver the standard of service to us that our own customers expect was vital. Not only have IFL accommodated our immediate need for data centre space, but they have also built in capacity for growth throughout 2010. Securing this capacity in terms of space and power is a real challenge in today’s data centre marketplace.”

Backup Technology currently protect over 950TB of data for customers worldwide including Liverpool FC, The Government Offices, Cheshire Police and The British Red Cross.
