| March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- VTL Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Viatel Holding
(Bermuda) Limited
(OTC: VTLAF - News), a market leader in the delivery of high-quality,
competitively priced communication and in-
formation services to businesses and carriers in the United
Kingdom, announced today that it has partnered with
DataFort Limited to bring Viatel's customers highly secure
network storage solutions.
A recent study by the University of Texas Center
for Research on Information Systems found that 90 per cent
of
businesses suffering data loss through failure, theft, destruction
or tampering are out of business within two years.
And, according to a recent informal survey conducted by Viatel,
as many as 40 per cent of small and medium-sized
businesses in the UK may be failing to back up their business-critical
data on a regular basis.
To help solve this problem, Viatel has launched
its networked storage service called Bytesure(TM) which combines
enterprise performance and flexibility with carrier-class
security and 24/7 support.
The easy-to-use and affordable Bytesure(TM)
service enables companies to automatically schedule their
backups,
either nightly or weekly, and to download and access their
data when they choose from anywhere via the Internet.
Protected by ultra-secure 256-bit encryption, and compressed
by a ratio of up to 5:1, a company's accounts, customer
records, emails, and applications are securely and economically
backed up over an ADSL or leased line and transfer
to one of Viatel's high-security data centers in the UK.
Bytesure(TM) will actually help companies save
money since they no longer need to pay for tapes, CDs, drives,
plug-ins, fire-safes or storage space, or waste valuable time.
Bytesure(TM) prices start at 24.95 pounds sterling per
month (plus VAT) for up to 1GB of compressed space, which
typically equates to approximately 5GB of business
data.
Viatel is currently offering a free 30-day trial.
