Managed Backup & Disaster Recovery
Are you relying solely on tapes to protect your most valuable data?
Tapes are physically delicate and easily compromised by
environmental factors such as heat, humidity and magnetic
interferences. Additionally tapes need to be replaced every 6-12
months. Tapes are also subject to loss or theft.
Off-site backups have become a valuable redundant solution for
protecting data.
The benefits of an off-site backup strategy are:
-
Data is backed up to disk which is generally more reliable than tape
-
Data is encrypted for security reasons
-
Backups are stored at our managed data center for easy restore
-
Full images are created of your server(s) allowing a full restore in
a fraction of the time it would take for a tape based restore.
We provide a managed off-site backup and disaster recovery
service to fully protect your data.
How it works...
We place a network attached storage (NAS) device at your
site.
The NAS device is a hard
drive based backup system. Backup software is
installed on your servers, this software performs
backups (as often as every 15 minutes) to the on-site NAS device. The backups are then uploaded
daily to our data center.
In the event of a failure we can restore data from the on-site NAS
device. If your facility experiences a disaster that takes the NAS
device out of service we will overnight you another NAS device
pre-loaded with all your data.
The NAS device itself is a fully functioning server. This allows us
to "virtualize" one of your servers on this device. For example if
you lost a motherboard in your email server we can turn the on-site
NAS device into the email server until the original server is
repaired.
24x7 Managed Solution
Our support department monitors your backup. Failed
processes generate immediate alerts to our engineers, who often
remotely correct errors within minutes of receiving notification. In
case of more serious NAS
issues, we will conduct repairs at your site. If any NAS units are
irreparably damaged or destroyed, we will overnight ship
replacements—pre-loaded with all stored data—directly to your
location.
