The new solution is designed to automatically transfer data from a client location to a specially designed off-site data centre via Verizon's private network.

"Through this exclusive relationship with IBM we are meeting a void in the online data protection market," said Kerry Bailey, chief marketing officer for Verizon Business. We know that enterprise clients struggle with how to efficiently back up and restore data securely while mitigating the inherent risks such as loss of data."

Don DeMarco, vice president, Business Continuity and Resiliency Services, IBM, said: "Managed Data Vault offers a broad array of enterprise data protection, not just for files, but for very large data stores and transactional data base content.  Today, enterprises have different ways to address specific scenarios. Managed Data vault is a single, secure solution to help clients retrieve a file, restore a device, or recover from a serious outage emergency."
