Disaster Recovery
The statistics for companies without a solid disaster recovery plan is staggering. More importantly, companies that fail as a result of losing important information is even more frightening. Simply put, your company cannot afford a major disaster without proper planning.
Most consulting firms will install a backup tape drive and create automated daily scripts to backup your company’s information. Once that is finished, they leave. There is no testing performed, there is no standby tape drive. There is no plan put into place should you ever need your backup restored.
Our firm goes far further. Utilizing new technologies, we back your data up to far more reliable devices then tape, for a fraction of the cost. Not only do we configure your backup scripts correctly, but we test your backups by restoring them to ensure that your system will function and provide a server to your company should yours fail. In addition, with specialized planning and a unique restoration process, we’re able to restore your information and get your company operating with a new server within hours of your server failing – not days.
