One of the cornerstones of the Coalition Government being formed earlier this year was their promise to streamline public services in order to deliver cost savings on the nation's route out of the recession.
Part of this may come in the form of Local Authorities being given the incentive to deliver services to other areas outside of their Geographical remit - you can read more here. This would see Local Authorities recognised more as Commercial organisations and given the ability to act as such. Local Authorities would be able to cut costs by launching shared services - this would in turn enable them to hit their targets for the Carbon Reduction Scheme by sharing Data Centres instead of running and maintaining separate Data Centres.
Redstor have been working with our Local Authority partners to provide services that make their lives and jobs easier by helping them deliver shared services. Instead of each individual Local Authority investing in their own new Data Centres to power backup solutions; 85 of them now backup their data to our Data Centres through RBUSS which allows us all to save energy and have a greener approach to ICT.
Through our Remote Management & Monitoring tool CentraStage, Local Authorities can automate repetitive tasks and share knowledge pools of which tasks to automate in order to free up resources. Dozens of Local Authorities are already working in this manner to co-operate and help each other do more with less.

Redstor Protector progress
We are now just a matter of days away from the official launch of Redstor Protector.
These last few weeks have been pretty manic getting all the finishing touches done for the official product release. Since Redstor unveiled our plans at the Manchester and London education training forums we have been inundated with enquiries for Redstor Protector. Most of the enquiries are from Local Authorities and Service Providers that either attended the events or heard about what we were planning through the grapevine.
Since BECTA sent out their guidance on encryption
we have been receiving many calls from schools directly.
The Redstor Protector service is designed to offer service providers and OEMs a simple, low cost way for their customers to secure the data that resides across all of their personal storage and computing devices. By combining backup, encryption, synchronization and data destruction into an easy to use service, accidental or malicious data loss scenarios can be avoided.
Designed with large scale deployments in mind the Redstor Protector is designed to be sold by service providers.
To help assist our team with communication flow and to ensure that all interested parties are kept uptodate with Redstor Protector release information we invite you to follow and post comments here on our Redstor Protector blog.

Redstor are pleased to announce the release of the beta test programme for the new data protection service.
The Redstor Protector service is designed to offer service providers and OEMs a simple, low cost way for their customers to secure the data that resides across all of their personal storage and computing devices. By combining backup, encryption, synchronization and data destruction into an easy to use service, accidental or malicious data loss scenarios can be avoided.
Designed with large scale deployments in mind the Redstor Protector is designed to be sold by service providers.
The Redstor Protector allows consumers to sign up online and create an account. The Redstor Protector creates an encrypted folder on the laptop or desktop as well as on USB storage devices. Should the user have data that is deemed sensitive they can choose to store the data in a secure folder on the desktop. If a secure folder is created on the USB device then it will also synchronise that data with the secure folder on the host system. Redstor's Online Backup service then automatically performs daily remote backups across a secure internet connection and in the event of data loss or corruption will allow the user to recover their data. As a final piece to the service Redstor can embed a data shredding and destruction technology that can be remotely activated by the service provider.
The Redstor Protector is built in such a way that a Service Provider will be able to deliver additional applications to their customers enabling them to offer an 'Apps Store' via a portal.
