LAKE MARY, Fla. – Harland Financial Solutions, recently acquired by M&F Worldwide, announced yesterday it will begin offering its credit union customers secure online back-up and recovery services through a partnership with EVault Inc. Using the protected hardware and environment of Harland Financial’s Enterprise Services Center and the EVault InfoStag disk-to-disk data protection software, financial institutions can securely back up and recover business-critical data online, while also maintaining compliance, thereby eliminating the need for tape backups. Safe and off-site, the encrypted data is available online at any time for immediate, user-initiated recovery. EVault is a wholly owned subsidiary of Seagate Technology. Harland Financial is a unit of John H. Harland Co., which was acquired last month by M&F Worldwide, the investment vehicle for corporate financier Ronald Perelman, for $1.7 billion.
