Endorsement Offers Member Financial Institutions Proven, Award-Winning Data Backup & Recovery Solutions

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- i365™, Inc., a Seagate Company (NASDAQ:STX), today announced an affinity partnership with the New Jersey Bankers Association (NJBankers) establishing i365 as an endorsed service provider. The strategic partnership offers i365’s EVault Software and EVault Cloud-Connected storage solutions to NJBankers’ members, providing financial institutions with the ability to safeguard their data and help ensure easy recovery in the case of natural disasters or network failure.

Consisting of more than 125 financial institution members, the New Jersey Bankers Association has advocated good business practices and represented their members’ interests before state and federal governmental and regulatory authorities for more than 106 years. i365 has been an associate member of the New Jersey Bankers Association for more than five years and has seen consistent success in providing NJBankers members with world-class data protection solutions.

“i365 offers services essential to financial institutions like ours — compliant backup, storage, and recovery solutions are a necessity for successfully addressing governmental and agency regulations,” said James Maitland of Boiling Springs Bank, a member of NJBankers. “By their very nature, banks deal with sensitive data every day and need to be sure they are prepared should disaster or data loss strike so they can be up and running for their customers as quickly as possible, and ensure customers their data is secure and private at all times. EVault data protection and disaster recovery solutions from i365 accomplish just that.”

i365’s EVault Cloud-Connected data protection and disaster recovery solutions represent an essential technology for banks of any size to meet regulatory compliance from government and agency officials. With i365’s SAS 70 Type II-certified data centers and encryption technologies, banks are assured full compliance, security, and peace of mind when backing up and recovering data from any i365 facility. Additionally, i365’s remote disaster recovery services for branch offices guarantee that remote backups from non-central bank branches are centrally managed and perform at peak efficiency. i365 already provides such Cloud-Connected services to over 600 banks around the country.

“After five successful years of working closely with the NJBankers, i365 is building on this partnership to elevate the company’s relationship as an endorsed service provider,” said Terry Dohrmann, regional director of sales at i365. “Becoming an endorsed service provider with the New Jersey Bankers Association reaffirms our position as an innovator that New Jersey’s banks can rely on for data encryption and verification as well as remote branch backup to meet stringent federal compliancy regulations.”

While the need for secure, reliable, high performance administration of secondary storage is universal, each customer has a unique set of objectives and requirements for where and how to manage their storage infrastructure. i365 offers EVault technology through a variety of deployment vehicles – on premise software, SaaS, managed services and appliances, or any combination thereof. Organizations can choose to configure any combination of software, services, and appliances across different platforms and any number of sites and get the same architecture and user experience. With i365’s Cloud-Connected solutions small to medium-sized banks and offsite branch locations benefit from the company’s expertise in meeting ever-changing regulatory, environmental, budgetary, and business continuity needs — all with the knowledge that their data is protected and accessible anytime, anywhere.
