"We were assigned the monumental task of handling a staggering 960 Terabytes of data across four locations, alongside an additional 175 Terabytes spread across three more locations, seemed like an insurmountable challenge. The urgency to transfer this vast amount of data to our forensic lab within a tight timeframe was daunting, especially considering the necessity for multiple examiners to analyze the data concurrently.

Navigating through various network environments, some of which demanded heightened security measures in a different data center, only added to the complexity. After multiple meetings and investigations in search of the most efficient and cost-effective solution, our team turned to Ciphertex Data Security, a reputable U.S.-based company headquartered in DC."

"I’ve been using the SecureNAS CX-40KSSD with 120TB storage for more than 8 years, and it’s incredibly convenient and user-friendly. I handle numerous high-res images and videos while constantly moving between studios. The SecureNAS is my go-to data backup and archive, offering top-notch security and encryption that gives my high-profile clients peace of mind. Because of the piracy issue in our industry, protecting digital video and photos is essential. The portability is also a nice touch as I frequently move from one studio to another.

I’ve also worked with the SecureNAS CX-80KSSD-X with 240TB of space. It’s been smooth, fast, and secure, saving me both time and money. Thanks, Ciphertex for providing such an excellent solution!"

Brooks Ayola Professional Photographer, APA

Ciphertex was able to deliver a very secure and robust portable NAS solution that met the United States Air Forces stringent requirements and everything was accomplished. Not an easy task. The USAF has very high security standards with regards to encryption and the need for a very customizable Portable Storage solution. From initial consultation with the USAF to make sure all of their needs were met, to sending evaluation NAS devices and hosting support calls, there was a very open and good exchange of ideas. Our partnership on this Storage project resulted in a volume order with the USAF and a successful deployment. Thanks very much to you and your staff for always being available for support and your professional courtesy. It was a pleasure working with you and we look forward to future projects!
