EVault Introduces Compliance Solution for Securities Industry

SIA 2005 TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE -- EVault, Inc., the leading provider of secure online backup and recovery solutions, today announced the availability of a complete end-to-end technology suite to assist securities firms with compliance and data protection initiatives.

The announcement was made at the Securities Industry Association's Technology Management Conference, the annual management education program on technology for securities firms, taking place this week in New York City.

The cornerstone of the offering is the EVault Protect online backup and recovery service. EVault Protect automatically encrypts, transmits, and stores daily copies of business-critical data off-site at one of EVault's secure tier-one data centers. Lost or corrupted data can be recovered online immediately with a few mouse clicks, eliminating the hassles and headaches associated with tape-based backup and physical storage devices. With more than 3,000,000 backups and 30,000 restores to-date, EVault is the industry-leader in providing easy to implement online backup and recovery solutions.

In addition to EVault Protect, customers can take advantage of the following value-added offerings in the new product suite. These include:
