HERNDON, Va., June 30 VA-Cox-Communications
HERNDON, Va., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Cox Business announced today that it
will offer two value added solutions that help Small to Medium sized
Businesses (SMBs) in Northern Virginia ensure that their data is well
protected at no additional cost. Premium Online Back-up and Premium Security
Suite will be available for customers using Cox Business Internet service.
These new services will help ensure that Cox customers' local network data is
protected by providing anti-virus, anti-spyware, and a firewall for intrusion
detection as well as safely storing this data at a secure off-site location.
"The data on a business customer's PC is often the life blood of their
business and for many small businesses and home offices, that data is not as
well protected as it should be. Premium Online Back-up provides businesses
with an online back-up solution that enables them to store their data easily
and securely at an off site data storage facility," said J.D. Myers, vice
president of Cox Business. "In today's world, small businesses don't typically
have an IT department or an IT manager. Cox now has a group of services that
will help them manage their network and better control the information within
their business."
Cox's services will benefit tele-workers, home based businesses, SMB's,
business travelers, and others that need an easy and cost effective data
back-up solution and file sharing for critical information. "Businesses of all
sizes can experience data loss and delays in operations due to a disaster,"
Myers added. "With our Premium Online Back-up services the data is
automatically encrypted and stored at redundant data centers as often as
customers would like."
Premium Online Back-up enables customers to establish a data back-up
profile that includes the specific files to be backed-up and the frequency of
back-up. Once the profile has been established and implemented, back-up is
automatic and the customer can forget about it and focus on their business.
Additionally, Premium Online Back-up provides customers with online file
sharing and "Whalemail". Whalemail capability enables customers to provide
others with secure access to centrally stored files via an e-mail link and
provides administrative tools that enable the customer administrator to manage
the storage space and run usage reports.
Premium Security Suite is a business class service with seven scanning
engines that scan for local network data, providing first class protection
with an industry leading detection rate. The service also has an online
administrative tool that enables the customer administrator to manage and
track the effectiveness of the Premium Security Suite for their company.
Finally, businesses want reports and tracking capabilities to ensure that
the local data networks using the service are being protected and reports on
the effectiveness of that protection. With these new managed solutions Cox
Business is providing customers with a complete security solution, in addition
to its award winning Internet access service. To learn more about Premium
Online Back-up and Premium Security Suite, please log onto the website at
