23 Portal Owner reference

24 We were positively surprised by how easily a high-quality solution like this can solve several different challenges for us simultaneously, including our internal backup requirements of more than 40,000 GB and the opportunity to apply a new OEM strategy to our market of more than 50,000 customers via Front-safe s online portal. It s key to note that the solution has not meant significant investments or needs to train our staff, which has been an important factor in our partnership with Front-safe. At the same time it has been important for us to be able to use our own TSM servers and storage. Everything was set up very effectively and with minimal resources. We do not doubt that with this partnership we can now deliver the very best remote backup service to our customers. It s important for a business like ours not to lose focus on our core business area as a telecommunications provider, which is why it was natural to outsource the backup business both internally and externally via a uniquely powerful interface, such as Front-safe s online portal. Thanks to this operational model, we have been able to remain focused on what really matters to us, yet have managed to create a new add-on product to our portfolio that is bringing benefit to all our customers. Given the success we have experienced to date, we are very positive toward future cooperation with Front-safe. At this point, there are no other options available that deliver the same value quite as effectively. Director, Telecommunications provider

26 "MPLS networks and fibre Internet are our core service. These systems enable our customers to communicate across departments located all over the country, as if they were sitting side by side in the same building. Remote back-up provides the perfect complement to a fibre service, by enabling customers to get value from their fibre connections 24 hours a day. Most back-up processes run overnight, when the level of other communications on the network is minimal. Our relationship with Front-safe allows us to offer back-up to our customers to a quality and competence level matching our network service. Sales Director, fibre provider "When working with architects' practices, which is our core market, we often find huge fluctuations in the volume of data we are asked to back up. Using Front-safe as a back-up sub-contractor gives us 100% scalability for our back-up system. However large the volumes on our customers' servers get, Front-safe is always able to receive the data. That saves our customers from needless investments in back-up hardware due to inaccurate projections of future data volumes. Security is key for us and our customers. For major architecture tenders or assignments for international firms the customer often asks for a description and documentation of data security arrangements, including back-up. Front-safe's audit statement is invaluable in this situation. And finally I should mention the high level of flexibility that Front-safe's online self-service solution provides. We can set up and manage new customers and servers as we choose and that's very important when you are still in the office late at night and there's still the little matter of connecting a newly installed server up to back-up!" CEO, IT full service provider "We are totally focused on delivering high value for our customers, i.e. the availability and optimal operation of their business-critical applications. Security is a top priority for us, so for back-up services we decided to take some of our own medicine and rely on an outsourced solution. In spite of the high quality in our own operating centre, which is backed up according to all the standard rules, we opted for the extra security provided by having our back-up data located in the operation of a technical sub-contractor specifically focused on back-up services. This frees us up to focus on our customers and day-to-day server operation." General Manager, hosting firm
