OTTAWA, Dec. 11, 2017 /CNW/ - Leonovus Inc.
("Leonovus") (TSXV: LTV) today announced it has signed a strategic
partnership agreement with ApexIT of St.
Louis, Missouri. ApexIT will sell and support Leonovus'
blockchain enhanced enterprise software-defined storage products
and services product line across the USA.
Together, Leonovus and ApexIT will give enterprises access to an
on-premises, hybrid or multi-cloud software-defined storage
solution that puts control back in the hands of the IT department,
and allows for enhanced data security and compliance monitoring for
regulatory requirements while reducing storage and operating costs.
Regulatory compliance examples: HIPAA, PCI, SOX, GDPR, C-198.
"Leonovus and ApexIT share a common goal - empower enterprise IT
to move and manage data either on-premises or in the cloud without
risking security or compliance. With ApexIT's decades of IT
solutions and services experience, we can positively impact even
more enterprise customers with the unique and compelling blockchain
enhanced software-defined storage technology found in Leonovus
3.0", said Michael Gaffney,
Chairman, and CEO of Leonovus.
Leonovus 3.0 is a data protection and optimization platform that
decouples and pulls the managed data into the Web Integrated
Services Environment (WISE) — a secure plane overlaid on existing
hybrid (on-premises/cloud) and multi-cloud infrastructure. All data
is encrypted in-flight and at rest. Metadata, tagging and data
classification enhanced with blockchain provide immutable,
auditable records of where data comes from, who has interacted with
it and where it's saved. Distributed storage ensures no single file
is ever stored whole on a single server: instead, it is "shredded"
into discrete, encrypted objects and distributed across multiple
storage devices, on-premises and in the cloud. With the Leonovus
dashboard, organizations have visibility into and control over
their data wherever it is stored.
"Large enterprises with petabytes of data to back up, store and
archive face a Catch-22: keep data on premises to ensure compliance
— incurring massive capex and opex costs — or move it to the cloud
and risk losing control. With the Internet of Things about to add
even more data to the mix, the challenge is only going to
intensify. By adding Leonovus to our offer we will be able to
eliminate this dilemma by leveraging their unique combination of
patented algorithms, distributed storage, and blockchain-enhanced
data security", said Geoff Baltz,
President of ApexIT. "We can now work with our
customers to execute a compelling data storage strategy across an
entire tapestry of on-premises, cloud, and multi-cloud architecture
to optimize their costs and with faultless compliance and fail-safe
security."
