Running a business without reliable offsite data protection is a risk that more than half of all small businesses take every day. Losing your data means losing your livelihood -- so why take the risk?  The reason is simple: it hasn't been affordable.
Not until now.
    Gentle Giant Software is now offering a full back-up and disaster recovery solution which is powered by Symform. The solution is as cost-efficient and reliable as the Internet itself. That's because it is built on the same principles. By encrypting your data and redundantly storing it on nodes in the network, Symform provides a convenient and affordable offsite storage and disaster recovery solution. We have eliminated the need for clumsy, unreliable backup tapes and expensive data center-based online systems. No tapes and no per GB fees -- sounds good, right?

    The Symform Cooperative Storage Cloud is a revolutionary solution that combines the best practices of disaster recovery, data security and distributed networking. The big idea is simple: Give local storage, get online storage. Members contribute unused server space equal to the amount they consume in the storage cloud. Symform handles the day-to-day management of network security and administration of the Cooperative Storage Cloud.

With the Symform service, all of your data is automatically:

• Encrypted on your machine using 256-bit military grade AES algorithm

• Divided up into fragments using Reed-Solomon redundancy scheme for robust durability and high availability

• Further secured by spreading these fragments out to hundreds of nodes participating in the network

• Sent and retrieved in parallel to maximize the speed of backup and restore

• Easily retrieved as needed for restore
