Packet General Donates Software Worth 40 Million Yen to Help Japanese Businesses Affected by Earthquake
Baldwin, New York – May 19, 2011 – Packet General, the leading provider of data security solutions, announced today that it will donate software worth 40 Million Yen to help Japanese businesses affected by the Pacific Ocean earthquake disaster. “In this time of great difficulty, we offer our sincerest support to the people of Japan. We also want to thank our partner SoftAgency Co., Ltd. who has joined hands with us to facilitate our relief effort locally”, said Raj Sharma, CEO, Packet General.
In order to enable small Japanese businesses to safeguard their important data, Packet General will donate one hundred Vault-GENERAL™ appliances to SoftAgency Co., Ltd. who in turn will offer a free disaster recovery service. “Many small businesses have lost data in this disaster which is hard to replace. Business owners are looking to store their files in a secure and safe location. However, data privacy is a big issue for Japanese businesses. Our service is designed to be secure and it mitigates data privacy concerns - all files are transparently encrypted before they are stored in our servers. Moreover, the encryption key is controlled only by the business owner. Our staff will have no access to the stored data. Our services will allow small businesses to insulate themselves against future data losses. We are happy to make this small contribution towards the recovery of Japan”, said Satoshi Tatsuoka, CEO, SoftAgency.
A fully dedicated hosted virtual Vault-GENERAL™ appliance will be provided to each business under this plan. The service will be rendered through a data center located in Fukuoka, Japan.
“I think the best way to help the Japanese people is by empowering small businesses. Our prayers are with all those who have suffered immensely because of this tragic event and Packet General intends to provide additional support if needed”, said Raj Sharma.
The Vault-GENERAL™ service will offer the following:
