Kanatek announces new
Managed Services Capabilities for Data Backup
and Recovery
With its extensive client base, Kanatek now
provides operational management and support for
almost half-a-petabyte of data with 3,000 servers
distributed across dozens of datacentres in over
30 countries round the world.
The service is
managed and operated from Kanatek’s
operations centre in Ottawa, Canada. In addition
to leveraging its existing skilled workforce,
Kanatek is expanding fast and has recruited more
than 20 people this year with technical experience
in the design and management of complex networks.
This multi-million
dollar business is a significant new development
for Kanatek. Kanatek president Terry Kell says, “Our
customers trust us with their data. We ensure
their data is safe, accessible and compliant
with tough new regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
With this new Managed Services capability we
are able to offer our clients a complete data
management service and take the stress out
of their lives.”
One of Kanatek’s
new Managed Services clients is Nortel's global
Data Backup and Recovery environment.
-30-
Data Backup & Recovery services can be summarised
as the local and remote replication of data stored
on computers and servers and, in the event of
a disaster, the successful and speedy recovery
of that data. With the amount of data being generated
by organizations and the need for that data to
be recoverable long after it has been stored – particularly
in the face of litigation – effective data
Backup and Recovery processes are critical for
IT departments.
