The new version will incorporate CDP (continuous data protection) which monitors target drives looking for modified data. When a change is detected, PresSTORE immediately synchronises that data with a target drive - so there is almost no time when the data isn't fully secure.

The new version will beef up security with regards unauthorised access, so that sensitive data is protected. It does this by encoding the data at source, and storing it in its encrypted form. This way, data is secure even if you use off-site backup and archiving and transmit data across the Internet.

If you are already running a PresSTORE system, you'll be pleased to hear that the update, when it arrives later this year, will automatically update the client software. So the upgrade to version 3.0 should be both seamless and painless.
