RDX platform enables data protection for SMBs

BOULDER, COLORADO: ProStor Systems, a leading developer of removable disk storage solutions, has announced that its RDX systems have been certified to run with EncryptX's SecurMedia automatic encryption software.

The RDX and EncryptX SecurMedia automatic encryption solution offers users the full benefits of removability while providing complete protection of data contents in case the media is lost or stolen. By implementing a backup strategy founded on RDX removable disk technology and EncryptX software, small and medium businesses (SMBs) can ensure that they are not risking exposure of intellectual property that can violate privacy regulations or jeopardize reputations.

SecurMedia encryption software allows for automatic creation of encrypted media using industry-standard encryption algorithms and password-based encryption. The EncryptX software provides a centralized audit tracking and administrative management solution that allows SMBs to have full visibility into what has been encrypted and who has access to it. The software also provides SMBs with the ability to dynamically revoke access to the protected contents of the RDX cartridge if it is misplaced or stolen.

"Often times the SMB is not offered the same equality as enterprise users in terms of technology and software to meet backup, archival and governance requirements," said David Duncan, president of EncryptX. "We are excited to work with ProStor Systems to provide enterprise-class data security and governance features on the RDX platform to SMB customers so they can protect their important data," he said.

"The last thing anyone wants when protecting their company's data is complexity," said Steve Georgis, CEO and president of ProStor Systems. "We strive to create easy, efficient storage solutions with RDX removable disk systems. The encryption capability from EncryptX offers another layer of protection for those RDX customers who need additional data protection without intricate management difficulty."

The RDX removable disk cartridge developed by ProStor Systems replaces low-end tape technology, including 4mm DAT, Travan, VS-DLT and 8mm, with a new solution that offers higher capacity, faster speed and lower cost. Deployed to back up and archive data from servers and workstations, RDX removable disk technology provides a safe, easy-to-use and portable storage choice for SMBs and SMEs. RDX ruggedized media is available in 40, 80, 120 and 160 GB capacities, with higher capacities available in the future.
