Authentium Features RestoreIT in Its Security Platform
FarStone’s patented RestoreIT® technology available to Authentium’s ISPs and enterprise business customers
IRVINE, CA and Palm Beach Gardens, FL — May 2, 2007 — FarStone Technology and Authentium have jointly announced the availability of RestoreIT for ESP Enterprise. This ISP-based data backup solution delivers RestoreIT xSP’s personal disaster recovery to every desktop in the enterprise, without requiring software installation on each client machine.
Authentium’s ESP Enterprise platform deploys FarStone’s RestoreIT to every end-point PC. RestoreIT then automatically backs up the data on these PCs; it can also be used as a “clean slate” utility to return shared systems to an original configuration at the end of each day.
ESP Enterprise allows network administrators to procure, manage, and deploy a variety of security applications from multiple vendors through a single interface. Authentium technology already protects over 18 million e-mail accounts and more than 9 million corporate, education, and ISP users.
“We are pleased to be a part of Authentium’s solution, which provides a solid delivery platform to the consumers and businesses alike. Both markets have a real need for instant recovery with little IT involvement,” said Tom Fedro, Vice President of Marketing for FarStone. “RestoreIT for ESP, provided though the Authentium security platform, offers the instant recovery they need to avoid frustration and downtime.”
“We are committed to providing an integrated, best-of-breed approach to desktop security,” said Corey O’Donnell, Vice President of Marketing for Authentium. “FarStone’s recovery software broadens ESP protection to allow users to recover from otherwise fatal consequences of external threats, software malfunctions and user-induced errors. RestoreIT for ESP is a great addition to the ESP platform.”
RestoreIT for ESP stores a complete image backup on a hidden, protected partition of the hard drive and/or on a removable CD or DVD, then regularly updates the image using snapshot backups of any changes. FarStone’s RestoreIT end point data backup and the restore end point service for ESP utilizes the ESP Extensible Framework to provide network administrators with rapid configuration and deployment capabilities, remote scanning and enterprise-class threat and policy compliance reporting options.
ISPs providing RestoreIT for ESP to subscribers as a value-added service also benefit from the revenue of customer subscriptions and the reduced load on technical support.
