DataChambers Introduces Online Backup Service

DataChambers, Winston-Salem, N.C., has introduced a new online backup service that it says is tailored to the needs of small to mid-sized businesses. EChambers Intelligent Data Protection is designed to automatically back up valuable databases and files that can be critical to a company’s survival.

EChambers Intelligent Data Protection is offered online as a managed service, so there is no hardware or software to purchase. Clients pay a fixed charge based on the amount of data they need to protect.

"Information is the lifeblood of most businesses and impacts their ability to deliver seamless service to customers," says Nicholas Kottyan, CEO of DataChambers. "That makes backups a critical tool for business continuity and disaster recovery. With eChambers, we offer small to mid-sized firms a level of protection typically available only to much larger businesses, but at a price they can afford."

DataChambers information technology experts work with each client to configure the service and to establish a routine backup schedule. Daily reports confirm that the backup has taken place and that files are fully protected, according to the company.

For security, each backup is encrypted and stored in a secure, blast-resistant underground bunker that is monitored around the clock, DataChambers says. Data are restored via a password-protected Web site in the case of server failures and natural disasters or if a critical file is corrupted or deleted.

WeRecycle!, a Meriden, Conn.-based company specializing in the recovery, management and recycling of end-of-life electronics, emerged from Chapter 11 restructuring as WeRecycle! LLC this summer.

The company benefits from significant support from New York-based Hugo Neu Corp., which is now the largest shareholder in the company.

Management of WeRecycle! remains, with Mick Schum, P.E., having been appointed president, while Gina Chiarella serves as executive vice president.

"We believe the newly restructured WeRecycle! LLC is perfectly positioned to continue our growth and expansion in the months and years to come," Schum says.

Chairman of Hugo Neu Corp. John L. Neu says, "In WeRecycle!, we saw an opportunity to make an investment in an electronics recycling company with a platform for growth and expansion. They have a proven commitment to the highest safety and environmental standards and business practices. We’re looking forward to working with WeRecycle! to establish the company as a national leader."

WeRecycle! LLC offers IT asset recovery, data security and recycling services, including asset management, data destruction, complete recycling, logistics services and compliance assistance.

Hugo Neu Corp. is a privately owned firm that manages, builds and invests in recycling, real estate, water transportation and cleantech businesses.
