GREENWOOD VILLAGE, CO – May 13, 2002 – Access Network Solutions and Global Data Vault have entered into an Alliance partner agreement, which enables Access Network Solutions to market and resell Global Data Vault’s DataVault 2.0 Online Data Storage and Recovery services.

DataVault 2.0 is an Online Data Storage and Recovery service, which allows businesses and companies to quickly and effectively backup and archive data and information to secure and redundant data centers, via the Internet. Security is handled through encryption, which makes data transfers more secure than standard ATM bank transactions. The service is billed on a pay-per-use basis and there is no annual service contract required.

Robert Faulhaber, President of Access Network Solutions, states that since many small to midsized businesses do not have an effective data backup and archival policy in place, DataVault 2.0 provides them with a simple, reliable and very cost-effective way to protect their business data and information, without a large investment in equipment and traditional tape backup technology.

Access Network Solutions is located in Greenwood Village, Colorado. The company strives to provide top quality network engineering and design services and solutions that help businesses use Information Technology as a tool to boost their competitive edge and grow their businesses.
