Data management services

We offer a range of services to help assure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your critical data, including:

  • Personal "home directories" -- files stored in our secure datacenters instead of on your (vulnerable) desktop or laptop computer, accessible only to you.  These files are backed up each night on tape, and the tapes moved to secure off-site facilities.
  • Shared file directories -- also stored in our secure datacenters, but designed for access by groups, such as members of organizations, departments or persons working together on projects.  These files are also backed-up nightly.

System administrators can take advantage of the datacenters for secure location of servers and storage for the applications they manage.
