Unparalleled Capacity

Storage needs will increase by a factor of seven in the next three years*

• Capacity from 200MB to 90TB per customer.
• System wide failover datapaths.
• All data is mirrored and stored on state of the art Netapp filers.
• Maximum sustained data transfer rate of 960Mb/sec per filer.
• Failover datacentres and equipment located 310 miles apart.
• Diversely routed connectivity between the datacentres of 2x155Mb/sec (310Mb continuous capacity).
• DataLifeline connects to multiple tier 1 carriers.
• Load balanced application servers are capable of handling 20K+ concurrent connections.
• Our unique patching technology allows files of e.g. 8GB to be compressed to just a few MB (because after the baseline backup, just the changes inside a file are sent).
• 448bit BlowFish encryption is used by default. This high level of encryption has never been broken. Estimates indicate it would take 100 years to decipher it. Furthermore, assuming in 100 years time you did actually decrypt today's message, you could not construct the original file anyway - after the baseline backup has been sent, just encrypted patches are sent to DataLifeline making it impossible to build the original complete file.
• Data is encrypted before it leaves the server/PC – so it securely backs up network workstations (e.g. Directors' laptop data).
• Data can be stored for up to 999 months. The service has been optimised for broadband so implementation is easy.
