Daymark Announcing Latitude

Daymark Solutions, Inc., provider of information technology solutions to companies in the Northeastern United States, announced Latitude, an enterprise cloud backup solution proven to ensure backups are reliable, recoverable, secure and meet compliance requirements.

From data protection and secure off-site vaulting, to improved security and immediate data recovery, the reasons for Daymark Latitude are compelling.

Latitude enables organizations to:

• Assure backup and recovery of all critical data, including data on mobile devices
• Guarantee disaster recovery with off-site electronic vaulting
• Improve data security with 256-bit AES encryption and FIPS 140-2 validation for data in flight and at rest
• Reduce data transmission amounts with block-level data compression
• Leverage private, public and hybrid clouds
• Benefit from flexible backup schedules with daily monitoring and reporting of every backup
• Free IT staff from routine backup tasks with Daymark’s ‘high-touch’ service
• Reduce costs with a predictable, capacity-based pricing model

Secure, Cloud-Based Data Protection
Security is of the utmost importance in deploying a cloud-based data protection strategy. Daymark maintains local and out of region Tier 4 SAS 70 Type 2 compliant data centers to support Latitude clients. Furthermore, Latitude has achieved SOC 2 Type 1 and SOC 3 validation.

"Daymark Latitude is a managed backup solution that relieves IT from costly and burdensome backup tasks," said Bruce Hall, Daymark’s director of managed services. "We provide daily monitoring, reporting, and error and missed backup resolution as part of the service offering. Ensuring that backups are successful and data is recoverable based on the client’s RPOs and RTOs allows their IT staff to focus its resources on more strategic initiatives."

Clients Benefit From Latitude
NEPC, LLC, an independent investment consulting firm based in Cambridge, MA, has seen the benefits of Latitude.

"Daymark’s cloud-based backup solution was an essential part of our data center relocation strategy. The Daymark team was able to properly assess our requirements and effectively implement according to our demanding schedule," said Devan Dewey, CTO at NEPC. "Daymark Latitude has enabled us to create a worry-free, hands-free process. In addition, times and costs for file recovery are now a fraction of what they used to be when we were using tapes."

A Connecticut-based law firm found the Latitude Proof of Concept (POC) process to be invaluable.

"We thought the POC might be resource intensive, but instead we were pleasantly surprised at how smooth and successful the process was," said Crystal Wallace, network administrator. "Daymark consultants delivered invaluable information about our data and we had the opportunity to see how all the Daymark Latitude components will work within our environment, increasing our confidence that Daymark Latitude could meet our goals."

"Backup and recovery is the runaway success story thus far in the cloud infrastructure market – and just keeps gaining popularity," said Steve Duplessie, founder and senior analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group. "Daymark is already a recognized leader in providing backup services, and the offering will only enhance their capabilities."

Built on technology from Asigra, Inc., Latitude is a cloud-optimized architecture that provides reliable backup, recovery, archive and disaster recovery services for organizations’ data growth. This agentless solution is more secure than traditional agent-based backup and recovery solutions and it is less complex to install and support.
