XOsoft and AmeriVault Offer Fast-Track Program to Help Organizations Prepare for the Hurricane Season

 Program Allows Companies to Implement a Remote Disaster Recovery Solution
                          Quickly and Effortlessly

    WALTHAM, Mass., June 28 /PRNewswire/ -- XOsoft, a leading provider of
continuous application availability software solutions and AmeriVault, a
leading service provider of online data backup, offsite storage and
recovery services, today announced a program to help companies in
hurricane-affected areas quickly and easily implement a Disaster Recovery
(DR) solution in time for this year's hurricane and tornado season. The
Fast Track program consists of a combination of AmeriVault's data
protection services with XOsoft's high availability software to offer a
managed service offering with a secure, off- site data center that is away
from the threats caused in the hurricane zone or tornado alley.
    While it is critical for organizations in the South, Southeast and
Caribbean to replicate their data to a safe, remote location, building the
remote site is often the most burdensome part of the implementation of a DR
solution. By providing a ready-made infrastructure with off-site data
protection, Fast Track eliminates the time-consuming and cost-intensive
step of building a remote site.
    "Organizations should look to deploy data protection solutions with a
remote replica site to ensure constant access to critical business
applications -- but the resources associated with set-up, deployment and
managing the solution can be overwhelming," said Heidi Biggar, research
analyst with the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). "The complete service
offered by XOsoft and AmeriVault is a compelling program, as it will assist
those organizations that are looking for an immediate solution to address
their disaster recovery and continuous application availability needs."
    Designed for the unique needs of today's businesses, Fast Track offers
a choice of three different packages to accommodate the level of protection
any organization may require. The three plans include:
    RepliVault HA - Hosted Replication & High Availability

     -- Continuous backup
     -- Manual or Automatic failover to replica servers
     -- Data Rewind
     -- Reverse Replication

        suppression, climate controls, etc)
     -- Rack space for replica server mounting
     -- Professional Services

    RepliVault CDP - Managed Replication & Recovery Service

     -- Continuous backup

prone regions

    "Our partnership with XOsoft allows us to tailor data protection and
business recovery solutions to match customer recovery objectives," said
Bud Stoddard, president and CEO of AmeriVault Corp. "With Fast Track,
businesses in disaster-prone regions can get installed quickly and have the
assurance of reliable business continuity."
    Tom O'Connell, president of XOsoft continued, "Through our enhanced
partnership with AmeriVault, we are confident that organizations that use
Fast Track will receive the highest level of replication performance and
continuous data availability they need to minimize data loss and accelerate
the time to recovery in an event of a disastrous situation."
