SIToB, Secure Online Backup, by NovaStor partner SITaaS uses a data center that has been awarded the world renowned IT Service Management Standard ISO/IEC 20000 (ITIL) certification.
Zug, Switzerland & Hamburg, Germany & Agoura Hills, USA, February 25, 2010 (PRESSbooth.ORG) -- NovaStor, a pioneer in data protection, announced today that the data center used by service provider partner SITaaS has been awarded ISO/IEC 20000 certification. The SIToB Secure Online Backup data center now ranks among fewer than 250 data centers worldwide that fulfill IT service management standards defined by ISO/IEC 20000.
Safety guaranteed by ISO/IEC 20000
SITaaS is a German based provider of cloud computing services and email management solutions. The company partners with GRASSMERKUR, who maintains the ISO/IEC 20000 certified data center. The certification process was conducted by the Technical Inspection Association (TÜV), an independent German institute who guarantees that GRASSMERKUR fulfills the quality standards in IT service management as defined in the ISO/IEC 20000 norm.
The ISO/IEC 20000 certification attests to the high security standards SIToB fulfills with all IT service management processes. According to SITaaS, the use of NovaBACKUP xSP contributes to this accomplishment by providing a stable system and encrypting customer data endtoend with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). By offering high performance and stability, NovaBACKUP xSP contributes to the high service levels SITaaS is offering.
“With ISO/IEC 20000 certification, SITaaS hopes to put to rest any concerns that might arise when it comes to security and cloud services. Most companies do not come close to meeting SITaaS’ security standards. NovaStor is pleased that its SaaS solution, NovaBACKUP xSP, has proven its worth through the fact that it is being used in an ISO/IEC 20000 certified data center.” says Mike
Andrews, Managing Director at NovaStor.
