DTST Data Storage Corporation

Data Storage Corporation (Nasdaq: DTST) (“DSC” and the “Company”), a provider of diverse business continuity solutions for disaster-recovery, cloud infrastructure, cyber security, and IT services, announced today that it has secured a large, subscription-based contract with a leading promotional products company through its Flagship Solution Group subsidiary. The Company has been contracted to provide fully monitored and managed cloud solutions. The solutions provide cloud based disaster recovery and cloud based infrastructure allowing our client to move from legacy hardware to running its critical applications on the Company’s fully managed, highly secure, enterprise cloud with 24x7 dedicated support, enabling seamless and rapid recovery of data during an unexpected downtime.

“No one can predict when a natural disaster or sudden network outages will occur,” commented Tom Kempster, President of Flagship. “Following a natural disaster, the customer realized that they were unable to recover and resume operations in their required timeframe. Given the unexpected downtime due to the clients recovery services and network outage, the customer experienced an extended outage. As a result, finding a reliable solution provider became a top priority. We were sought out to provide data protection and business continuity services to assist this client in securing their data, while minimizing downtime and recovering data within their recovery objectives. We are currently implementing these solutions for the client.”

“For over 20 years our clients have depended on our ability to deliver business continuity solutions that are reliable and scalable,” stated Chuck Piluso, Chief Executive Officer of Data Storage Corporation. “Whether as a result of experiencing a significant data loss or taking proactive measures to keep information safe, organizations are increasingly moving forward with cloud based solutions. This latest subscription-based agreement is further validation of our ability to meet the requirements of our clients and deliver innovative technologies, such as our disaster recovery portfolio, cloud hosting and our cyber security solutions.”
