SEATTLE, October 11, 2010 - Datacastle (www.datacastlecorp.com), a market leader for business
resiliency solutions for the mobile workforce, announced today that
COMPUTERLINKS UK, the next generation distributor of IT security and Internet
technology solutions, has selected Datacastle RED to power its new ALVEA
Managed Secure Backup service. COMPUTERLINKS UK Ltd is part of the

COMPUTERLINKS UK's ALVEA Managed Secure Backup service offers resellers
an easy to deploy managed laptop, tablet and desktop backup solution to
deliver resilient endpoint data protection to their customers. With the
growth of workforce mobility, increasingly stringent regulations for securing
endpoint data, and the rising cost of data breaches, providing simple, secure
solutions to their customers is more important than ever for resellers.

resellers are asked to provide their clients," said David Ellis, director of
new technologies and services at COMPUTERLINKS. "By partnering with
Datacastle to offer a managed service as part of our next generation
distribution model, we are giving resellers the means to grow their revenue
streams with minimal effort or investment on their part."

COMPUTERLINKS UK to significantly reduce the time required to bring the new
ALVEA Managed Secure Backup service to the UK channel market.

"The Datacastle RED solution and partner program is designed to minimize
upfront investment and maximize time to market for the channel," said Ron
Faith
, president and CEO of Datacastle. "ALVEA Managed Secure Backup service,

a comprehensive, easy to implement, cloud-based backup and endpoint data
protection solution for laptops, tablets and desktops."
