“To assist clients with their enterprise risk management and disaster recovery strategies, Logic also provides a team of data recovery experts.”
Into the cloud Logic Communications recently launched its LogicVault (powered
by EVault) cloud-connected data backup and recovery services. In addition to having been built on the leading technology platform (67 petabytes of data under management) it has a secure cloud infrastructure that is easy to deploy and manage. To assist clients with their enterprise risk management and disaster recovery strategies, Logic also provides a team of data recovery experts, which ensures that customers’ data is protected and always available.
Ben Barlaba, head of sales for Logic said: “LogicVault provides remote disaster recovery and business continuity services that ensure vital data and systems can be accessed within as little as four hours of a disaster being declared. End-to-end encryption ensures that data remains private, satisfying specific regulatory compliance requirements. The service is tested before it’s activated to ensure post- disaster execution and, because the service is cloud-based, there are no upfront capital costs. The service actually eliminates the expense and complexity of maintaining one’s own disaster recovery site.
“LogicVault can also be used to provide end point protection, with backup, recovery and data security of desktops and laptops across mobile workforces. Backups to the LogicVault cloud and to the local hard drive automatically protect endpoint data without disrupting users, and ensure backups and restores keep working even when machines are offline. Users easily recover files with no help from the helpdesk,” continued Barlaba.
The dangers of data loss
With this service, corporate data is protected with security features such as remote data deletion, port access control, device tracing and state-of- the-art encryption—all particularly valuable when a PC is lost or stolen.
The possibility of data loss has become a serious concern for organisations everywhere, due to the impact on the organisation’s reputation as well as its revenues. Protecting digital assets can bring far-reaching benefits well beyond that of securing a competitive advantage—it can also prevent significant economic loss.
“The level of data loss is huge, and only a few organisations are employing data protection best practices,” said Kim Caldwell, director of strategic alliances at EVault. “We are very excited about the partnership with Logic Communications in Bermuda. The combined solutions of the two companies bring significant
value to organisations that are concerned about data loss and the business disruption that occurs during a disaster.”
To support its international business clients, Logic Communications has uniquely positioned itself by building a next generation multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network. Logic has automatic redundancy across all cable systems connecting businesses in Bermuda to the rest of the world. The company focuses on providing solutions that allow existing infrastructures to integrate these new technologies. Furthermore, with Sarbanes- Oxley in mind, this approach to connectivity has meant that businesses can subscribe to services that provide 100 percent diversity and redundancy with no single point of failure.
Building links
One such cable provider is Cable Co Ltd, with the deployment of the Challenger cable system. Challenger, one of the first to redeploy an existing cable system, is the newest cable system to be installed in Bermuda and has been discussed at many conferences around the world. This model has proved to be beneficial for smaller jurisdictions, offshore mining and scientific study. With Challenger, Cable Co was able to build a business case to bring a fourth cable system to the Island. It is the only system owned by Bermudians.
Ray Charlton, vice president of Cable Co said: “Cable Co is now
in its fourth year of operation and I am pleased to say that it has been 100 percent reliable. With the construction of the Challenger cable, Bermuda’s international telecommunications infrastructure was greatly enhanced with an added redundant link to the outside world. We operate as a ‘carrier’s, carrier’, that is, we market our services to any and all other carriers that operate in the Bermuda market.”
With the addition of the Challenger cable, consumers and businesses have benefited with improved, resilient international data and telephone links.
Charlton continued: “A first class, dependable and secure telecommunications network is vital to the success of Bermuda’s international business segment and we play a major role in providing this infrastructure. As the demand for capacity and data speeds increases, companies can be assured in knowing that Cable Co has the facilities in place to meet all of Bermuda’s international bandwidth requirements, for the foreseeable future.”
Through business-friendly legislation, aimed at fostering the
offshore market and complete redundancy of ICT infrastructure, Bermuda is well positioned to exceed the needs of international business today and in the future.
