Physical Storage of Documents is Hardly a "Safe Haven"

docHarbor® Document Services provides security you can count on.

San Diego, CA -August 8, 2006 -With recent announcements and news coverage of data mishandling, theft, natural disasters and unforeseen mishaps, having a policy of only storing your company's valuable information in paper format is risky at best -and can be disastrous to your business.

"Though you might think you've properly backed-up your critical business information and have it stored in a fortress-like facility somewhere, one incident like a fire, flood or theft may be all it takes to open your business up to litigation or worse -put you out of business. We have only to look at last year's regular news headlines of leaked or lost information, and a recent highly publicized fire at a seemingly invincible storage facility to realize that it takes more than a physical 'safe haven' to ensure your business information is secure and easily accessible if some sort of disaster should arise," says Corey Meitchik, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing for docHarbor, a division of Anacomp®.

With the volume of documents continuing to swell, and requirements to properly store, secure, and retrieve information on demand growing more stringent, having a system that offers safety, redundancy and cost efficiencies has become mandatory. While the computer age has not kept its promise of reducing the paper load, it has presented us with an unbeatable way of managing and securely storing any document ever produced.

Business continuity services are not only wise in case of a disaster -it's also insurance against litigation, mechanical failure, theft, computer viruses or accidental deletions. docHarbor relieves the challenges of disaster recovery and business continuity by capturing every document, regardless of it's format or origin, securing it in a multi-layered redundant system, and making it available anytime online to properly authorized personnel anywhere in the world, via the Internet or your own intranet. In the event of a local, regional or national catastrophe, your organization can be fully protected and 100% functional, at least as far as your invaluable documents and related services are concerned.

Whether you're working in the government or private sector, it's important to know that you can have a unified and discrete archive, protected at an off-site facility that does more than just 'store' documents. Our primary docHarbor data center is located in Herndon, Virginia, and was built from the ground up specifically for our docHarbor Online services -designed to handle the anticipated document storage and retrieval requirements of our clients. Through an elaborate design, layers of redundancy covering physical security, power, telecommunications and hardware ensure continuous information availability. Additionally a "hot" failover data center is located in San Diego, California affording our clients another level of redundancy. Both data centers are monitored on a 24x7 basis. "Expecting the unexpected, taking it beyond today's requirements and considering future events, docHarbor's multiple redundancies reduce risks and ensures business continuity as it relates to your documents," adds Meitchik.

Leveraging the power of the familiar Internet, docHarbor requires no capital investment or proprietary software on the end user's desktop. All the user needs is a web browser and free Adobe viewing software.

Rather than just shuffling documents off to a storage burial ground, take the extra steps needed to ensure you're safe from potential harm and let the experts, docHarbor, handle your important information appropriately and quickly.
