Leonovus Announces New Production Customer as Resource Companies Continue Strategic Shift to Cloud Storage

OTTAWA, April 24, 2019 – Leonovus Inc., (“Leonovus”) (TSXV: LTV) (OTC: LVNSF) today announces the successful conversion of a proof of concept, originally publicized December 20, 2018, to a full product deployment customer.

The tremendous growth of unstructured data is driving the adoption of public cloud storage and is creating new challenges like securing data in the cloud, ensuring data integrity, maintaining control over encryption keys, silent subpoenas of data, data resilience and forensic audit support.

Leonovus with its next-generation multi-cloud data controller solution addresses this customer’s growing storage needs by leveraging cost-effective cloud storage rather than continuing to invest in expensive storage hardware for their data centres. Leonovus software has allowed them to introduce tiering of back-up and archive data to multi-cloud storage while maintaining security and ensuring data sovereignty. Using this hybrid cloud solution also enables them to extend their shared file storage capacity.

“By using Leonovus, the customer anticipates being able to liberate 50% of their current on-premises storage capacity for new applications and services,” said Michael Gaffney, CEO of Leonovus.

Leonovus is a multi-cloud data controller software solution that increases data security, aids in compliance, and delivers flexibility to adapt to an evolving storage and cloud landscape. The key benefits that Leonovus provides include:

• Data-centric security controls, independent of the underlying infrastructure that enable data mobility,
• Data encryption using enterprise-controlled keys,
• Assists with GDPR compliance for data stored in any cloud,
• Detailed audits of all data access across the distributed storage architecture,
• Real data sovereignty using our unique encryption, shredding and spreading approach,
• “Cloud RAID” that provides enhanced data resilience and recoverability via erasure coding,
• Reduced storage footprint through deduplication and erasure coding.
