UCG’s VAULT400 BaaS a Natural Choice for R.W. Sidley, Inc.

United Computer Group, Inc. is pleased to announce that R.W. Sidley of Painesville, Ohio has selected VAULT400 BaaS as its backup solution. R.W. Sidley has been a valued client of United Computer Group for over 20 years.

Brad Buescher, Human Resource Director, had taken on more responsibility in

R.W. Sidley’s IT department. He immediately recognized the need to improve their primary system up time and security, and contacted UCG. R.W. Sidley runs on the IBM Power 5+system also provided by UCG.

UCG updated their Uninterruptable Power Supply in addition to adding VAULT400 BaaS. R.W. Sidley’s data is now encrypted, compressed, and sent offsite nightly to two secure HIPAA compliant data centers located in Cleveland, Ohio and Atlanta, Georgia.

“VAULT400 is working great,” stated Buescher. “United Computer Group worked with our IT staff to setup the system and make sure we understand how it operates. R.W. Sidley chose UCG’s VAULT400 BaaS because the company has provided dependable IT support to our organization for over two decades. We trust UCG to support and secure our business critical data.”

In addition, R. W. Sidley will enjoy Hardware Disaster Recovery at no charge for 30 days. In the event of a disaster, UCG will provide a like system loaded with their data within 48 hours. (12 and 24 Hour RTO options are also available.) R.W. Sidley then has the option to purchase the like system or order a new one from UCG.

A key success factor for this 81 year old business is their core belief in continuous improvement and investment in state of the art technology, art batching, manufacturing and recycling equipment.

Carswell Protects 150 Year-Old Business with VAULT400 BaaS

Carswell, a Thomson Reuters business founded in 1864, is Canada’s leading source of intelligent information solutions for legal, tax, finance and human resource professionals. Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Carswell provides integrated information in a range of formats, including books, loose-leaf services, journals, newsletters, CD-ROMs and online.

Due to the nature of their business, Fred Neeser, Technical Lead, and Margaret Banks, Manager Business Information Systems, thoroughly investigated their options when choosing an online data backup provider for their IBM i system. They needed to ensure their data was safely backed up in the cloud with the BaaS package they selected; and that the provider’s data centers were secure. Other key requirements include a yearly Auditors Letter for SSAE 16 SOC II Type II and full compliance with HIPAA/ HITECH regulations.

UCG met or exceeded all of Carswell’s key requirements to protect their IBM i 9406-810 system with their VAULT400 BaaS solution. VAULT400 provides daily automated backups to the cloud, provides secure transmissions and an easy-to-use interface to retrieve files, folders, or libraries for quick restores.
