Mainline in Outsourcing Deal with BPOMS

March 25, 2008 Alex Woodie

IBM server reseller Mainline Information Systems has hooked up with business process outsourcer BPO Management Services to provide full-service outsourcing of System i, System z, and Intel servers, the companies announced last week.

With Mainline supplying the IBM hardware connection and technical services, and BPOMS’ IT Infrastructure and Outsourcing (ITO) Services division supplying more technical services as well as data center facilities, the two vendors aim to attract mid market companies that want to completely outsource their servers or just co-locate them in a larger facility.

“By partnering with Mainline, BPOMS can now offer its services to a broad new group of clients throughout North America,” says Patrick Dolan, founder and chairman of BPOMS, which is based in Anaheim, California, and has offices in six other states and Canadian provinces. Mainline is based in Tallahassee, Florida, and also has offices in New Jersey and Illinois.

BPOMS’ ITO Services division maintains an SAS70, Type II-certified, class-A rated data center in Pearl River, New York, as well as a co-production center located in the Verizon facility in Carteret, New Jersey.

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.

Reach out to UCG Technologies to discuss your company’s security needs and develop a data protection plan that fits you best.
