Press Release (U.S.)
McKinney Fellowship Selects Asigra for Backup/Recovery of Church Data
NetMass Online Backup/Recovery Service Automates Data Protection at McKinney Fellowship Bible Church
TORONTO April 18, 2006 – Asigra™, the technology specialists in agentless distributed backup and recovery software for network computing, announced today that McKinney Fellowship Bible Church has implemented Asigra technology in an automated backup/recovery solution implemented to protect church information, including Shelby Systems’ ShelbyCHURCH application data.
Online data backup and recovery services are delivered through NetMass, Inc., a Texas-based provider of Internet office solutions that help businesses and other organizations realize secure data protection. Utilizing Asigra agentless backup/restore technology, the church ensures automatic backup and rapid recovery of all Exchange servers, Microsoft SQL servers, financial, membership, church services, MediaShout, and program data.
“Like most churches, we’re constantly adding new programs and ministries – but we seldom add overhead or technical support,” said Kevin Miller, director of technology at McKinney Fellowship. “We needed a solution that would protect all church data without overburdening our two-person IT staff. The biggest benefit of the NetMass online service based on Asigra technology is that I can forget about it. Every time we’ve had to restore data, it’s been there. I have high confidence in it and don’t see any downside.”
“In terms of computer platforms and applications, McKinney Fellowship has a lot in common with most small businesses,” said Mark Martin, CEO at NetMass. “They have the same data accessibility needs. But their application users are more likely to be soccer Moms or choir directors than technology-savvy end users. That’s why a backup/recovery service like the NetMass/Asigra solution that runs largely unattended and with minimal administration is critical to keeping operations running smoothly.”
“High-growth nonprofit organizations like McKinney Fellowship do an excellent job of leveraging technologies such as web-based services to expand their ministries and community programs,” said Eran Farajun, executive vice president of Asigra. “The NetMass online backup service based on Asigra technology ensures they can protect those assets without having to dedicate IT resources to non-ministry-related tasks such as data backup and recovery processes. That’s particularly important as they scale their infrastructure to support new venues and programs.”
