MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Data Storage Corporation (Nasdaq: DTST) (the “Company”), a provider of diverse business continuity, disaster recovery protection, as well as cloud infrastructure solutions and services, today announced it has established a managed services model partnership with Precisely, a global leader in data integrity software, to bring innovative security software solutions to the Data Storage cloud.

“Having worked with Precisely for many years within the traditional IBM mainframe environment, we are excited to now offer Precisely data integrity solutions to the many companies migrating to the cloud that have a need to protect information, data privacy, and compliance adherence,” commented Hal Schwartz, Data Storage’s President. “The combination of our expertise in IBM power systems and cloud solutions, coupled with Precisely’s robust security software solutions made this a natural next step in our evolution.”

Data Storage’s ezSecurity™ is a graduated menu of IT security offerings focused on customer needs that starts with a no-charge security risk assessment. “The addition of Precisely’s expanded solutions within a cloud environment allows us to offer an even more robust and full-featured, monthly subscription-based offering that addresses the most common IT security exposure issues, including ransomware,” stated Chuck Paolillo, Data Storage’s CTO. “Through a no-cost risk assessment and associated reports, we can pinpoint challenges and immediately remediate any issues that are discovered.”
