StorageMart Finds the Perfect Fit with Charity Storage; Selects Women In Need, Inc. as Top Charity to Support
October 9, 2012 by ·
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 08, 2012
When self storage companies and facilities join up with Charity Storage, one of the nicest aspects of the partnership is their ability to choose a favorite charity to receive 60 percent of the money raised through Charity Storage auctions. When StorageMart recently decided to join in the industry-wide movement to support Charity Storage, it had a terrific organization to support Women in Need, Inc. Now, thanks to money raised through upcoming Charity Storage auctions, New York City women and their families who are homeless and disadvantaged will have a better chance to improve their conditions.
Women In Need, Inc. will not be the only winner to come out of Charity Storage auctions held at StorageMart facilities. Kure It Cancer Research and the Self Storage Associations Foundation Scholarship program also will benefit from the special Charity Storage auctions held at facilities across the country. All of which is especially heartwarming to Sarah Little, Interactive Marketing Director with StorageMart.
Partnering with Charity Storage is a perfect fit for StorageMarts vision of community support, says Little. We selected Women In Need, Inc. (WIN) as our select charity for our New York self storage properties because this organization meets a very real need in our community. We learned that 80 per cent of the homeless in NYC are women and children. Once we were aware of that fact, it was no question WIN was the group we had to support.
StorageMart (http://www.storage-mart.com) is an international self storage company established in 1999 by Gordon Burnam with 127 locations across the United States and Canada. The company is one of the largest privately-owned self storage companies in the industry, offering residential and commercial self storage units for rent, as well as moving and packing supplies at each location.
Charity Storage was created when Lance Watkins, of StorageTreasures.com, and Barry Hoeven, Chairman of US Storage Centers, saw the popularity of self storage auctions grow and realized that the self storage industry could give back to society through special auctions whose proceeds go to local and national charities. The net proceeds from the sale of each unit at a Charity Storage auction are split three ways — the Self Storage Association Foundation (which provides scholarships to students who are related to self storage professionals or work at self storage facilities) receives 10 percent, Kure It Cancer Research receives 30 percent, and the individual facility chooses a local or national charity to receive the remaining 60 percent.
For Watkins, who also founded Storage Treasures to help promote self storage auctions across the country, having the support of StorageMart is great, but so, too is the choice of Women In Need, Inc. StorageMart is a terrific company with great leadership. It is no surprise to us that a special charity like Women In Need would be their top choice since StorageMart is such a progressive, giving organization. Many thanks to StorageMart for joining Charity Storage and we look forward to working with them for many years to come.
Charity Storage is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit recognized as tax exempt by the IRS. Federal Tax ID# 45-3253579. For more information, visit charitystorage.org or E-mail info(at)charitystorage(dot)org.
2012 Survey Indicates the Need to Ease Public Cloud Security Concerns, by Netpremacy – Google Enterprise Premier Partner
August 17, 2012 by ·
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 17 August 2012
Results from this survey suggest the worry factor over data leakage onto the public cloud was high with more than 80 percent of respondents rating their concern as an eight or higher on a scale of one to 10, with 10 representing keeps me up at night. Although it could be argued that employees personal decision to use public cloud services and the rise of bring your own device (BYOD) initiatives could be partially to blame for this as these factors were top concern of the CIO respondents. In addition results showed that only 42 percent of respondents said they were actively preventing data from being stored on public clouds.
According to Ponemon Institute 82 percent of organizations already transfer, or plan to transfer, sensitive or confidential data into the cloud environment.
The global study of 4,000 business and IT managers conducted by the Ponemon Institute examines perceptions and current practices surrounding the threats and protection issues relating to sensitive or confidential data in the cloud. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder comments on the findings: Its a rather sobering thought that nearly half of respondents say that their organization already transfers sensitive or confidential data to the cloud even though thirty-nine percent admit that their security posture has been reduced as a result. This clearly demonstrates that for many organizations the economic benefits of using the cloud outweigh the security concerns.”
A few key questions to ask yourself when considering a move to the cloud:
????How beneficial would it be to further consolidate your security services?
????Will the network security solution support your business uptime goals?
????What level of protection will your firewall provide?
Organisations have the capability to elevate their migration to public cloud by deciding how relevant an application is as well as the level of security that is needed.
An article by Nari Kanan of PC Advisor provides 10 ways to strengthen public cloud security to support enterprise use, here are a few detailed below.
Evaluate and add security, if necessary.
Cloud service providers (CSPs) provide significantly different levels of public cloud security. The ISO/IEC 27000 series of standards, provides guidelines for systematically examining information security risks, taking into account the threats, vulnerabilities and impacts, for designing and implementing a comprehensive suite of information security controls, and for adopting management processes to ensure that guidelines are followed. Organizations considering moving sensitive applications and data to the public cloud may need to evaluate and compare different CSPs based on these standards. If necessary, security measures that are used in an organization’s internal private cloud may need to be extended to their public cloud instances.
Put Security at the Forefront of Your SLA.
How would a CSP customer ever come to know of security breaches? CIOs must ensure they understand how CSPs know when and where security breaches occur. Learn about Google Apps SLAs.
Add Encryption.
Organisations are within their rights to employ their own encryption instead of, or in addition to, the ones provided by the CSP. While the CSP will encrypt information that is sent over the public Internet and stored in the public cloud, the CSP will be providing the encryption key. This can make organization uncomfortable. A number of installable products or SaaS vendors can do this type of encryption on the fly. When this happens, only the customer and the third party know the key; the CSP does not.
Spread Risk with Multiple, Redundant CSPs.
It is common practice to procure high-bandwidth Internet connections for an organisations data center from multiple vendors, precisely because the need to spread the risk of outages among many providers is high. If one is down, the other has a good chance of being available.
Finding the right balance between security and performance can be difficult, but achieving it will give your organisation peace of mind.

Self Storage Rates- What You Need To Know
May 15, 2012 by ·
Article by Frank Miller
Self Storage Rates is a popular topic for those considering getting self storage. Naturally, during these tough economic times, people are looking to find a good deal that won?t severely hurt their budget. Fortunately, for many, they will find that rates are very reasonable. Here, are a few reasons why:
1. Rates can be negotiable.Although the best self storage rates can vary depending on the location and the occupancy rates of that facility, a key thing to remember is that rates are often negotiable. This is important to remember when looking at different facilities. Many times, you can get better deals by paying more up front or having a longer term deal at reduced rates.
2. Be sure you shop around.Even beyond this negotiating, many places will offer storage space discounts of a free month up front or reduced rates for storage space referrals. In fact, you can often find discounts on the internet for certain companies. Therefore, it is a good idea to give the final decision some thought after looking at a few different facilities as there is a lot of competition in many places for your business.
3. Smaller spaces offer lower rates.Although this piece of news is not earth shattering, it does provide an incentive for optimizing the space you buy. If you can find ways to reduce the space you need, you can save money. For this reason, be sure to take advantage of voids when loading your furniture. Filling up these areas can really help reduce the overall size you need. Also, breaking down some pieces of furniture can help reduce space used in many instances.
As you can self storage rates are not set in stone. You should make every effort to take advantage of this latitude to make sure you get the most bang for your buck. With a little time spent reviewing your choices, you may be surprised how much you can improve your choices.
For more information on Self Storage Rates, click the previous link or try visiting http://www.movingcontainersetc.com to get some solid moving tips and information on different moving containers and storage options.
All self storage owners want more income every month but many are hesitant to send off the rate increase notices. In this short video, I show a simple tool along with addressing some fears that will hopefully make it easier for self storage facility’s to impliment automatic rent raises to bring up their self storage income.
