We are excited to be launching Vault USA today. Greetings from the Disaster Recovery Journal show in Orlando, Florida. It has has been an awesome day as we launch Vault USA with great interest at the show. The initial feedback from users and resellers is great excitement about the offering of disaster recovery for any size business. They especially are eager to learn more about the disruptive pricing model. Also, we are demonstrating the One Click Backup and everyone is impressed with the user interface and ease of install and use.

After more than two decades in the data storage industry I'm more excited today than I've ever been about helping businesses securely store their data and recover it in the event of a disaster. I decided to launch Vault USA because I'm committed to making online data backup a reality for businesses of all sizes - from the entrepreneur working in a small office ready to launch the next great idea to established industries that store vital and often confidential information about their customers.

The team I have assembled represents the best minds in the industry. Our leadership has been at the helm of some of the most important advances in data storage. We have dedicated our careers to this field and to creating the technology that makes it possible and educating companies on why it is so important.

We are committed to providing easy and secure solutions at disruptive prices. We promise to be as passionate about our customers as we are about the importance of disaster recovery.

Imagine this: a five-year-old server that has just crashed is restored to a brand new piece of equipment.  That is the power of Bare Metal Restore (BMR).

BMR is a form of restore wherein not only the data, but the entire machine is restored including System State (Registry). It’s that simple. Of course, the processes behind the scenes are quite complex, especially if we are restoring to different supported hardware.

What do we need in order to be able to restore the whole machine, including server, desktop, and laptop? We need to have a full backup of that machine, and we need to have the target machine visible on the network.  We simply mark that machine as our target, provide credentials, and click finish.

Our target doesn’t have to be the same Operating System (OS) (as long as the target OS is from the same family as the source) service pack level, IP address, or even have the same users. Once the restore is complete, we just reboot the restored box, and the old server with all its settings and programs are running on the new hardware.

Whew!!! May 2008 will go down as one of the busiest and most exhilarating business months of my career. We successfully launched Vault USA on May 1 at the Disaster Recovery Journal Show in Orlando. Then, I spent the rest of the month finalizing the acquisition of More Group by Forsythe and MoreStor Vault by Vault USA.  I am delighted that both acquisitions came to fruition as they offer tremendous opportunities for all parties involved in the transactions.
 
I had the distinct pleasure and honor founding More Group, Inc. in 2004 with a great bunch of professionals. The More Group team became a leader in storage integration in New England over the last four years.  Forsythe realized that adding the More Group expertise to Forsythe was a sound business decision and a great beachhead in their New England district.  Yes, I am sad that I will not being working with my More Group colleagues on a day-to-day basis. However, I am excited that they will be selling & supporting Vault USA with Forsythe joining the Vault USA team as a national service provider. Forsythe is a leader in our marketplace and it is a tremendous opportunity to have them offering the Vault USA solution to their customers.
 
The More Group team is in great hands with Forsythe.  I will now devote all my professional efforts to building the Vault USA model and brand into a market leader.  The online backup and data recovery marketplace has  incredible potential. I spent the majority of my career selling and support tape based systems to thousands of customers throughout the world.  I don’t want to say tape is dead, but it is perfectly evident that online backup and vaulting offers distinct positive advantages over tape based solutions.  Just eliminating the chain of custody risks that are inherent in tape based solutions enables customers to substantially improve their ability to safeguard their data and ensure that they are compliant in event of disaster.
 
I firmly believe Vault USA is perfectly positioned to become a market leader.  We have assembled a great core team at Vault USA, and you can expect great things from them in all aspects of Vault USA support, sales, and innovative technology development. Thank you for your continued confidence.
