Connect In Private Corp. Chooses Geminare as Global Cloud Recovery Standard to Expand in Latin America and Europe

Connect In Private Introduces Geminare's RaaS Portfolio to Telefonica and Other Worldwide Telcos and VAR Audiences


PALO ALTO, CA and PANAMA CITY--(Marketwire - May 24, 2011) - Geminare, the market leader in Recovery as a Service (RaaS) enablement, today announced an expanded partnership with Connect In Private Corp. (CIP), Panama-based developer of the world's most comprehensive suite of secure surfing, offshore email and internet privacy tools. Through this partnership, CIP will introduce Geminare's comprehensive suite of cloud-enabled Recovery as a Service offerings to its substantial client base.

Aligning with CIP's hallmark of extremely high security and privacy standards, the RaaS suite will be housed in the proven and trusted data centers of existing CIP telecommunications partners such as Telefonica, who are the world's fifth largest broadband and telecommunications provider. CIP is also expanding partnerships with Claro, the largest mobile phone network provider in the Americas and the world's fourth largest telco, as well as Cable & Wireless, Cable Onda, C&W Lime and others.

CIP products already on the market today include secure VPN services, encrypted offshore email client applications and more, with a new BlackBerry 'secret surfing' application scheduled for release in July, 2011.

"CIP has been operating successfully in Latin America since 2007 and has recently seen tremendous interest in cloud-based services, particularly within the legal, financial and government sectors, with business continuity solutions emerging as the top IT spending priority," said Bill Montgomery, CEO of Connect In Private. "Geminare's proven platform is a perfect fit for our partner community, especially given its success with other leading North American telecom companies." Montgomery added, "Response to our new partnership has been overwhelming, and we look forward to developing further inroads with Geminare's unique technology in market over the coming months."

CIP's Real-Time Server Recovery is based on Geminare's award-winning Cloud Recovery service, delivering real-time replication of mission-critical data and applications to a replica server in the cloud, and ensuring business continues as usual following system outages-both planned and unplanned. Rapid Server Recovery, available in conjunction with existing online backup services, links a protected server to a standby restore-ready server in a secure cloud, dramatically reducing the complexity, cost and time associated with post-failure server recovery. And Cloud Storage Assurance is a secure, auditable cloud-based email and file archiving engine with advanced search capabilities and a unique audit trail ensuring authenticity.

Joshua B. Geist, Geminare's CEO, commented, "We are pleased to be recognized as the market leader and continue to expand our cloud services to the global market. CIP has shown to be a strong voice in security services and we are delighted to have this opportunity to work with them."
