LUS Fiber and Skyscraper Data Solutions Join to Meet the Needs of a Growing Demand
LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA - November 15, 2011 - In 2010 the volume of digital information created and duplicated reached 1.2 zettabytes, according to a report from IDC Digital Universe. One zettabyte is equal to 1 quadrillion gigabytes, a number so large it is almost impossible to imagine. Nonetheless, that is how much data we create through our increasingly digital lifestyles.
The need to protect and secure this data has also grown. Business and residential consumers alike have an immediate need to backup important files, documents, spreadsheets, pictures, videos, etc. and know that they are secure and will not be lost if a computer or other important device is damaged.
Skyscraper Data Solutions has committed to providing 10 GB of enterprise-level offsite, cloud-based data backup storage to all LUS Fiber Internet subscribers (business AND residential) free of charge through a proprietary software and storage platform called iOBACKUP.
