CUBE Global Storage Can Store "Your World” Safely In Their "Box”   |  June 22, 2007  

A Local Company With A New Name Wants To Educate Consumers On The Ease of Safe and Secure Storage Of All Their Valuable Physical and On-Line Assets in one of the safest buildings in the country!

June 21, 2007--Victoria, British Columbia CANADA – The word is out – boomers are pack rats and legal issues are causing organizations to hold onto records for longer periods of time, causing a sharp increase in the need for storage space. CUBE Global Storage, formally known as Data Base File Tech Group, is a local company that wants to change how people think about storing their valuables, providing them with access to one of the safest, state of the art facilities in the country.

CUBE Global Storage has been securing and saving business operations for more than 25 years. Under the original name of Data Base File Tech Group, CUBE has worked with over 400 clients who store physical assets and online information. Governments, universities, hotels, banks, private collectors and small to large businesses rely on CUBE's expertise, ease of access, client confidentiality and state-of-the-art security systems.

The one million cubic feet of storage space is so secure that it has been named the safest building in the province and is also designated as a post disaster centre for the Victoria region by Public Safety Canada. Organizations can also store the equipment and materials they would need to set up an instant operational centre onsite, should a disaster affect their office.

"Discretion, service and security are the number one priorities in our business,” says founder and president Michael Weston. " However we realize that in the past we have been very quiet about what we do and the level of service we provide. We can handle the storage needs for large corporations and governments to individuals who would like to store a single box, antique, piece of art, or computer files for as long as they need, yet ensure it is immediately accessible or in the case of computer files, replaceable, when they need it. I believe our new branding helps us to market ourselves more effectively.”

Growing markets include the home business market, who may have invaluable company documents stashed in their garage or under their bed, to universities which now have to hold onto student transcripts for 55 years. As boomers inherit furniture and valuables from parents, move into smaller homes but want to retain items to pass onto family members, safe and secure storage is becoming more of an issue. Even wine collectors are looking to CUBE to safely store wine collections worth thousands of dollars, while they age.

"We also have private art collectors and archivists whose storage needs require exact precision in temperature and humidity as well as businesses and organizations who need constant access to their files and records, sometimes within a few hours notice, and we deliver,” says Weston.

However Weston feels a bigger issue for consumers and organizations is not the file boxes that get tripped over and serve as a reminder to find suitable storage, but the knowledge capital that is stored in computers that could be lost forever with a power outage, computer malfunction or theft.

"CUBE Global Storage also reflects our ability to work with clients all over the world, particularly when it comes to online storage. I believe people underestimate the value of what is stored in their hard drives – from irreplaceable business files, to music and picture downloads which may be of sentimental value. We offer immediate live back up and restoration and server storage is secure from water, fire or earthquakes.”

Often people overestimate the cost for storage, which can be as little as $5.00 per month. CUBE's Live Back Up program, which is also being launched this month, is offered at $29.95 per month, offering road warriors, students and anyone who owns a laptop or home computer, instant peace of mind knowing that their computer files are being backed up continually.

CUBE Global Storage is a family-run business. Founded by Michael Weston in 1980 as Data Base File Tech Group, it provides world-class, high-security storage capacity for physical assets, as well as intellectual data. As well as a wide range of storage options, CUBE's services include business continuance strategies and disaster recovery protection, housed safely and securely within one million cubic feet of a state-of-the-art facility that guarantees peace-of-mind.
