DataMirror Expands into New Digs and Operations in Europe

April 23, 2007 Timothy Prickett Morgan

High availability and data transformation software maker DataMirror said last week that it is going to put some feet on the street in two countries in Europe to help it expand its business.

DataMirror said that it would be opening offices in the Italian cities of Milan and Rome and would also open an office in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Milan is the industrial center of Italy, and Rome is its business center and capitol, while Amsterdam is the industrial, business, and governmental capitol of the Netherlands. So these three cities are obvious ones to expand into in their respective countries.

The company is headquartered in Canada, outside of Toronto (that country’s industrial center) in Markham, and has offices in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and Belgium. DataMirror also has offices in the United States in the major cities of New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles as well as in Minnetonka, Minnesota (near the Rochester labs) and Irving, Texas (which is outside of Dallas, one of the economic centers of the American southwest).

“We are pleased to announce the opening of new offices in Italy and the Netherlands to better allow us to serve our European customers,” explained Stewart Ritchie, senior vice president of worldwide sales at DataMirror. “With a local presence, we are able to improve the level of care we provide to our customers. We can help them to unlock the full potential of their production systems, allowing them to make better business decisions, run smoother operations, win new customers and partners, and increase their bottom line.”

CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

“Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”1

Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS. Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.
