Synergy Global Solutions selects Geminare Incorporated for First Cloud-Based Storage Service to Deliver Zero System Downtime to SMBs

    TORONTO, July 7 /CNW/ - Synergy Global Solutions the second largest
Managed Services Provider in the United States based on the number of managed
seats, has chosen Geminare's cloud-based storage service for their Small and
Medium Sized Business (SMBs) clients. The solution combines the power of
Amazon's S3 data storage infrastructure with real-time data replication to
deliver robust archiving and high availability in one integrated platform.
    "With this service we can offer our 75,000 managed Desktops access to
highly scalable, reliable, fast, and cost-effective storage, with the
significant and unique ability to continue working without disruption during
an unplanned outage or scheduled maintenance," said Clark Crook, President,
Synergy Global Solutions. "Best of all, our clients have the capacity to add
these capabilities on the fly, without investing in new infrastructure, staff,
or software."
    "Clients can automatically compress and archive selected directories and
files into the Amazon Cloud for up to 7 years, and pull down saved, deleted or
archived versions at any time through Geminare's secure portal," said Joshua
Geist, President and CEO of Geminare Incorporated. "In addition, because the
Cloud Storage service is based on the Geminare Continuous Availability
Architecture, clients can failover their servers and run directly from the
cloud when needed".
    This archiving capability enables SMBs to meet the strictest compliance
standards, easily and without specialized expertise while protecting their
onsite data from accidental deletions, modifications or corruption. Real-time
replication ensures that, in the case of an unplanned outage, users are
instantly redirected to a mirror version of their fileserver, which is
immediately available at a secure Top Tier data center. Business continues as
usual.
