Symform Cost Savings

The Symform Cooperative Storage Cloud has reinvented online storage. We deliver enterprise class disaster recovery at small business prices. The Symform service is affordable, convenient, and eco-friendly. No more clumsy, unreliable tapes or paying to power giant data centers. Finally, there is a better way.

Secure, reliable, disaster recovery that companies of all sizes can afford.

Low cost

  • Symform leverages your existing storage resources to provide an extremely cost effective solution.

Secure

  • Data are encrypted using military-grade, AES-256 encoding before leaving the source (your computer).
  • Encrypted data fragments are additionally secured through dispersion to a large number of nodes in the storage cloud.

Reliable

  • Symform supports RAID-96, creating 32 parity fragments for 64 original fragments to offer enterprise level reliability that is superior to traditional RAID 5 or 6.
  • High, reliable throughput is achieved through parallel uploads and downloads of fragments from hundreds of nodes in the storage cloud.
  • By geographically dispersing the fragments we achieve superior protection against regional disasters.

Seamless, automated extension to existing onsite backup solutions.

Works with your current solution

  • Our file based synchronization approach works seamlessly with existing local backup methodologies.
  • Fast and simple software installation supports all major operating system platforms.
  • Intuitively interfaces with local and network folders for synchronization.

Automated

  • Automatically detects local changes to files and synchronizes them in the storage cloud. 
  • Maximizes throughput with intelligent bandwidth management which can be configured for business hours and off-hours.

Offered and supported through a trusted IT service provider.

One familiar provider

  • Purchase Symform from the same partner you use for your other IT services needs.
  • One source of accountability for ensuring business continuity.
  • Support is provided locally, not by an offshore call center.

Extend a local solution

  • Unique ability to combine local and online solutions to provide you double the protection without compromising the efficiency and speed of local restores.

Efficiently utilizes existing capacity and helps build a sustainable storage network.

Efficient

  • Unlocks the potential of existing storage capacity in your IT environment.
  • Leverages de-duplication technology to store a unique block of data only once across the storage cloud.
  • Avoids using data centers for bulk data storage, thereby conserving significant amounts of energy resources.

Sustainable and Scalable

  • As storage needs grow, the network grows by harnessing dormant storage capacity without the environmental impact of a big data center.
  • The storage cloud organically scales as new nodes enter and contribute the equivalent of the storage they receive.
