About iStor Networks

Operating since 1999, iStor provides a managed off-site data backup service known as iStor DataVault. The company focuses on organizations of all sizes, offering secure and reliable data protection to alleviate the risks and complexities associated with data backup. iStor's business model is service-based, entrusting a client's data backup processes to its team of experts.

The core of the service is built on security and privacy, utilizing in-house developed software and proprietary infrastructure. The company emphasizes that it does not use third-party cloud storage from providers like Amazon, Google, or Microsoft, instead storing all client data on hardware that it owns and administers. A key security feature is its encryption protocol, where data is encrypted at the source, during transit, and at rest, with the encryption key known only to the customer, ensuring they retain exclusive control and ownership over their data. The iStor DataVault service includes features such as a central management console, automatic updates, bandwidth management, and source-based data de-duplication to optimize performance and cost.
