Tarragon: Backup

Connected technology is used on over two million computers world-wide with 975 Terabytes of data managed on the subscription services.

Tarragon selected the Backup Direct™/Iron Mountain solution to provide the technology behind its PC, laptop and small file server online backup services for three simple reasons:
1) Backup Direct™/Iron Mountain is clearly the leading technology supplier with solid financials and future
2) Backup Direct™/Iron Mountain's Connected technology is secure, robust and efficient
3) Backup Direct™/Iron Mountain's Connected functionality is highly adapted to the needs of the smaller business.

Two highly secure data centres

Your data needs to be safe once it is backed up and only highly redundant, reliable and secure data centres will suffice. This is why Backup Direct™ uses two data centres actively mirroring each other. As your data is backed up, it is instantly copied to the second data centre. Each is hardened for physical and logical security with multiple connectivity providers into each one. The result for you is:

Data is extremely unlikely to be compromised by a freak event
It is virtually impossible for a human being (outsider) to access protected data
Under all circumstances your data will be recoverable when and as fast as you need it.
