Award-Winning Graphic and Web Design Firm
Chooses AmeriVault For Protection of Critical Data

Julie & Company Selects Online Backup Pioneer for Protection of Critical Client Data

June 24, 2003, Waltham, MA – AmeriVault Corp. (www.amerivault.com) the pioneer of online server backup and disaster recovery for business, has been selected by Rockville, Maryland based Julie & Company, a graphic and web design firm which has been previously named a top Washington web design firm by Washington Business Journal and Forward magazines, for backup and disaster recovery of their Windows servers.

“Before AmeriVault our server backup process consisted of about once every week, when we remembered, backing them up to tape and occasionally burning some files to a CD-Rom. Our practices were insufficient to say the least, so upon the urging of our accountant, we saw the need for an effective, off-site backup solution to protect our client data and subsequently found AmeriVault,” said Julie Matthews, Owner of Julie & Company, whose clients include AOL Time Warner Ventures and Cornell University.

Utilizing industry-leading software, AmeriVault’s service recognizes and captures changes to files (at the block level), encrypts the data for enhanced security and compresses it to minimize transmission time. The encrypted data is then sent over the Internet or private telecommunication lines to highly secure offsite Mass Storage Vaults. Since only changed data segments are sent, even in the highly unlikely event someone is able to break into the code they would only find a few unintelligible bits of data, as opposed to an entire file. Customers schedule automated, unattended backups according to their needs. Retrieval can be accomplished online, real-time from their place of business or remotely.

“The overwhelming majority of small to medium sized companies and especially home-based businesses do not have an effective backup procedure in place because they are limited on resources and backup is most often costly and time-consuming. Data is an irreplaceable company asset and according to the Disaster Recovery Journal, 43% of companies of all sizes will go out of business within less than a year following a disaster. Given limited resources, we anticipate this percentage is much higher for small businesses,” said Bud Stoddard, President & CEO of AmeriVault Corp. “Our online backup and recovery solution is fail-safe data protection and continued business continuity for today’s emerging companies.”

“I cannot imagine losing any of our design project files. Most took hours to create and as a small company, there is no way we could replace everything if it was lost. All design companies, whether large or small, should invest in AmeriVault’s online backup and recovery solution,” said Matthews.
