Nerds on Site joins Data Deposit Box™ Reseller Program
New York, NY, March 8, 2005 – Nerds on Site consultants will now offer their home and small business customers access to Data Deposit Box’s comprehensive, online PC backup solution through a reseller deal announced today. Nerds on Site customers will be able to take advantage of the Data Deposit Box software solution to easily backup, restore and share information online.
"We are always very concerned about our customer’s ability to backup and properly store files," said James Keenleyside-Richter, Data Centre manager, Nerds on Site. "The Data Deposit Box storage solution simply cannot be beat for simplicity or price. I don't believe there is a person out there who shouldn't be using it – and all our Nerds see its value. The fact that customers can also access files remotely from any web browser makes this a true road warrior’s back up dream."
Nerds on Site consultants – currently numbering approximately 500 worldwide – deliver traditional and emerging computer technology solutions directly to customer’s homes and offices. Effective immediately, ‘Nerds’ can quickly provide peace of mind to their customers for only 1.5 cents (CDN) per MegaByte per month for only the storage they use.
"This is a great example of how our reseller program can work for organizations such as Nerds on Site," said Peter Carroll, Chief Technology Officer, Data Deposit Box. "It’s a simple, easy process to get on board. Nerds consultants are already signing up new customers, and we've only just inked the deal."
"We are very happy with this agreement and our dealings with Data Deposit Box," said John Harbarenko, co-owner, Nerds on Site. "They have been incredibly responsive to our needs and the needs of our customers, including soliciting feedback from our consultants in order to ensure that customers will get everything they need from the solution."
Maintaining the security of customer files is top of mind for both Data Deposit Box and Nerds on Site. Before files leave a customer’s PC, they are protected using an extremely secure, ‘bank grade’ encryption algorithm. They are then stored in this encrypted state at Data Deposit Box’s secure data center.
