SAS 70
What is it?
"Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70, Service Organizations, is a widely recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). A service auditor's examination performed in accordance with SAS No. 70 (also commonly referred to as a 'SAS 70 Audit') is widely recognized, because it represents that a service organization has been through an in-depth audit of their control objectives and control activities, which often include controls over information technology and related processes. In today's global economy, service organizations or service providers must demonstrate that they have adequate controls and safeguards when they host or process data belonging to their customers. In addition, the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 make SAS 70 audit reports even more important to the process of reporting on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting."
Many of our vendors are SAS 70 Compliant. Call NavigateStorage to know more.

What are the differences between file-level vs. block-level deduplication?
What are the differences between file-level vs. block-level deduplication?: **
"Many different data backup vendors provide data deduplication services, so expect to find subtle differences in how both file-level deduplication and block-level deduplication are implemented. In general, file-level deduplication watches for multiple copies of the same file, stores the first copy, and then just links the other references to the first file. Only one copy gets stored on the disk/tape archive. Ultimately, the space you save on disk relates to how many copies of the file there were in the file system."
Block-level, sometimes called variable block-level deduplication, looks at the data block itself to see if another copy of this block already exists. If so, the second (and subsequent) copies are not stored on the disk/tape, but a link/pointer is created to point to the original copy. For example, John's copy of a file may in fact just be a pointer to Mary's file -- if Mary's file was the first to be archived.
There are pros and cons associated with both file-level and block-level deduplication. For instance, if 1,000 identical attachments are sent out by a benefits coordinator, file-level dedupe will find those 1,000 attachments that are exactly the same, but it won't find the exact duplicate copies you saved (i.e., Benefits_file.Aug, Benefits_file.Sep, Benefits_file.Oct, etc.). Block-level dedupe will find all of the duplicates, even if named differently, and will store the name variations with pointers to the original blocks. Variable block-level will also account for misaligned data sets on disk and would also detect the duplicate files and exact copies with different names.
File-level deduplication will save a relatively small amount of space on your disk/tape archive. Block-level deduplication will save more space on your disk/tape archive, and variable block-level deduplication will save even more space on your disk/tape archive. However, as with any other data storage technology or technique, be advised that your mileage will vary depending on the amount of replicated data you have in your file systems.

Red Condor a closer look at Hosted
Insecure Magazine Issue 23, November 2009
Over the years, email filters became a crucial factor in allowing us to open our in-boxes without cringing. It doesn't matter how careful you are about giving out your email address, it will eventually find itself on spam lists and you'll be subjected to the barrage of worthless and malicious emails that you would rather do without.
Owners of private e-mail addresses hosted on web-based email services usually don't even have to think about filtering - the service probably thought of that. If you work at a big company that has its own IT department, you won't have to think about filtering, but if you own a small business or have a small IT budget and team, you might consider a Software-as-a-Service solution.Red Condor's Hosted Service is a good choice.
It's actually very simple to set up and extremely effective, and will prevent you becoming a target of spam, viruses, phishing schemes, offensive content, and other threats.
It works like this: you redirect your MX records to Red Condor's servers. There the emails are filtered and only the legitimate ones are passed on to your mail server. Real-time knowledge gathered from a worldwide sensor network is used to create heavy-duty filter rules.The filters analyze emails by content, keywords and behavior to separate the wheat from the chaff - so to speak.You don't have to think about software or hardware installation, or even about filter tuning- and in case one of your email servers goes down, Red Condor stores your email for up to 96 hours until your server is brought back online.
Another great feature is outbound mail filtering,so if a PC in your network gets infected and turns into a "zombie", it will prevent the spam-sending activity and notify the administrator immediately.After registering and logging in, you access your account through a simple and very user-friendly web interface/portal.The first step is adding an account. You will be asked to input account information - name and address. Primary contact information is also required, but technical, admin and billing contact information is optional. The person that opens the account is automatically assigned administrator privileges.
