DENVER, Feb 5, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- InFlow, Inc., a leading provider of managed web hosting and outsourced IT services, announced today the expansion of its business continuance offerings to include emergency equipment replacement, mobile recovery solutions and satellite-based communications via a relationship with Rentsys Recovery Services.

With the Rentsys Recovery Services relationship, Inflow continues to create customizable services for businesses wanting to defend against unforeseen events. Through its new backup and recovery solutions, Inflow can provide a host of services that can limit or even avoid data loss.

"Inflow continues to expand its service offerings surrounding our business continuance practice to meet the changing demands of our customers," said Art Zeile, CEO for Inflow. "Working with industry-leading companies such as Rentsys allows Inflow to provide its customers affordable backup recovery solutions in the event of a disaster. Data loss is something companies simply cannot afford."

Through its relationship with Rentsys, Inflow can offer the following services:

Equipment Dropship--With distribution centers nationwide, Rentsys Recovery Services has the infrastructure in place to configure, image and deliver customers' replacement hardware anywhere in the United States. Hardware is pulled from Rentsys' extensive inventory of tier-one laptops, desktops, Intel servers, midrange servers, peripherals, and networking equipment and is guaranteed to be delivered within 12 to 24 hours of notification.

Mobile Recovery Centers--Providing many of the same features found at traditional hot-site recovery centers, each Rentsys Mobile Recovery Center is designed to provide for a more flexible workspace recovery option than facility-based temporary workspace. Mobile units are ideal for companies located in smaller markets where fixed facilities are not available.

"We are excited about our relationship with Inflow," said Walt Thomasson, Program Director at Rentsys Recovery. "We look forward to working together to provide their clients the high level of service and quality that they expect from Inflow. From day one, this partnership has made a lot of sense and the synergies between the two firms are obvious. We look forward to bringing world-class disaster recovery services to Inflow's portfolio."

"It is imperative that companies review the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of their business continuity plans, or they risk significant business process downtime and even survival," said Donna Scott, VP and research director with Gartner, Inc. "It is disconcerting to note that just 25 percent of large organizations have invested in a comprehensive business continuity planning program, despite such high risks."
