Bit9
Inc. a trust-based security company, has made TwinStrata
Inc. CloudArray
the heart of its cloud-based storage strategy.
Deployed in December 2012, CloudArray
delivers the company an offsite data protection strategy across its
virtualized environment. Working in conjunction with backup provider Veeam Software, it supports both Bit9’s HQs and its data
center with a cloud storage environment to provide DR and flexibility
to support future needs.
The solution’s security and encryption
capabilities were critical to its acceptance as a viable solution for
Bit9. Since the business is built on trust and security, the
in-flight and at-rest encryption were needed to meet the company’s standards.
"I looked into other cloud
storage options – including just doing it myself – but none of the
other options provided the same combination of security robustness,
ease of use and performance consistency that the TwinStrata CloudArray product did," said Bill Suarez, director, IT for
Bit9. "What it does isn’t trivial – from presenting as a
local target, to the performance-tuned cache, to regulating data flow
– but it does it all easily, and it just works."
Bit9 selected TwinStrata due to its
ability to minimize and even eradicate the complexity, performance
and security issues inherent to employing a cloud storage strategy.
"We’ve already had to recover
from one emergency," continued Suarez. "And I’m
pleased to say that it went off without a hitch."
"Many of our customers turn to
TwinStrata to address today’s offsite data protection needs,"
said Nicos Vekiarides, CEO of TwinStrata. "They find CloudArray to be the standout choice when it comes to ease-of-use,
security, performance and price. But we’re finding that most of our
customers are also turning to us to further their cloud journey as a
whole. With TwinStrata, customers not only get a solution that
simplifies managing and protecting their data – they also get a
foundation for additional high-value cloud services."
