STILL RELYING ON TAPE TO BACKUP YOUR DATA?

Businesses across the nation still relying on tape backup to protect their data are quickly realizing they are on borrowed time. For many companies, migration from tape backup to secure cloud backup and disaster recovery has moved from the back burner to the number one business priority. 

Don't let another year slip by while outdated technology compromises your business.

United Computer Group, Inc. Rolls Out VAULT400 Reports

IBM Systems Magazine gave UCG's VAULT400 Reports a nice shout-out on Page 39 of their November issue. VAULT400 clients have been raving about their new reports since UCG rolled out the initiative this past July. 

VAULT400 Reports is a Web-enabled interface for centralized reporting that contains details of their clients' cloud-protected data. Users receive three types of reports:

1. Backup status, which lists successful, failed, or missed backups while providing a simple, single-glance view of the overall health of the backup solution.
2. Grouped Storage Details, providing a breakdown of storage information for each job grouped by computer, customer, and vault.
3. Storage Totals, including information on total storage that can be obtained for a specific date range showing the storage fluctuation over time.

You can check out samples of VAULT400 Reports on the VAULT400 website. VAULT400 Reports are provided at no additional cost by UCG to VAULT400 subscribers. 

UH notifies 7,100 patients of stolen hard drive with personal medical information

University Hospitals has sent letters to more than 7,100 patients letting them know that their personal medical information may have been exposed when a hard drive was stolen from a third party vendor's car in August. (Bill Gugliotta/The Plain Dealer)

As an IT expert specializing in IT data protection and disaster recovery, it's infuriating to read about debacles like this.There is absolutely NO EXCUSE; this is very basic IT 101. United Computer Group recently completed a very successful operating system upgrade for a different local hospital. As a result, their patient data and their reputation will not be compromised. It is imperative, and I strongly encourage UH to quickly do their due diligence. 

Drive stolen on August 8th, data from 19 computers, taking their time to determine exact information on the drive, NOT encrypted. Now engaged with an IT Security firm? Do they think this was a "random" act? A lot of questions here and plenty of blame to go around. So much for HIPAA.

After I fired the IT person(s) responsible, I'd recommend speaking with Cleveland, OH based Jurinnov jurinnov.com
