CARY, NC — 30 March 2009 Consonus today announced that Collectorpro Software Group has signed on as a Preferred Reseller of Consonus' Remote Backup Service (RBS) solutions.

RBS is an alternative to traditional backup methods, replacing conventional solutions with a fully automated online solution. Consonus' RBS provides automated backups of heterogeneous file servers as well as application and database servers with encrypted, secure offsite storage, and rapid online restoration. The Remote Backup Services offering includes 24x7 monitoring of customers' backup environments provided in a Consonus SAS 70-compliant network operations center. As a key component of a firm's business continuity plan, RBS is critical in establishing and communicating effective preparedness, recovery and resiliency practices.

Mike Shook, President and CEO of Consonus Technologies, said: "Many businesses today are focused on survival, and cannot afford the additional headcount and capital investment that a high-availability IT infrastructure requires. Remote Backup Service solutions enable our partners' customers to focus on their core business while benefiting from an expert, efficient way to store, manage, and recover mission-critical data on demand."

A national data center and provider of managed services including disaster recovery, Consonus serves its customers, who range from small business to large enterprises and government agencies, through several data centers around the country including Utah, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Colorado.
