Hertfordshire based IT solutions
specialist, Unity IT Services, has partnered with Thinking SAFE™ to deliver its SME customers
in London and the South East with cost-effective, off-site remote backup solutions.
The company provides all the services of a dedicated IT department, which now
includes the Thinking SAFE™ Backup2 off-site data backup product.
Ben Stupples, Managing Director, Unity IT Services, explains: “Protecting the business
critical information stored on servers and workstations is one of the most important, yet
least considered, challenges facing every business today. As the DTI states, an amazing 70%
of companies go out of business after a major data loss.”
“We currently provide IT support to a large number of SMEs and have always recommended
tape back up solutions such as Backup Exec by Veritas. We recognised that the market had
made significant progression in recent years, and the cost of off-site remote backups had
come down considerably, so we were looking to partner with a supplier who could offer this
service to our support clients.”
“We looked at a few companies offering similar services but we liked the flexibility and
depth of the product from Thinking SAFE™. It is important to us that we are not seen as a
small fish in a big pond and we felt that we could develop an excellent working relationship
with them which has been proved thus far. We also felt that we were partnering with a like-minded
company who would grow as we grow and were not afraid to think outside the box to find a solution
to problems. The benefits to our customers are improved data retrieval, more reliability, less
hassle and better retention!”
Ed Jones, Director, Thinking SAFE™, comments: “All companies today are vulnerable to the catastrophic effects
of lost data. Only one third of businesses in the UK store their backups offsite and as a result most
companies who have suffered computer related fire or theft have also lost their backup. Even if you did
manage to successfully take a backup, recent figures show that nearly 42% of all tape restores fail.
Working together with a partner such as Unity IT Services, we can help more and more companies – large and
small – to protect their company assets through easy and effective data protection and recovery.”
