Disaster Planning and Recovery
Data Back Up Solutions
The storms had come through violently and quickly, but Frank, the IT administrator, had already put his backup plan in place. Backups were happening every night, and tapes were routinely exchanged as per the strict policy he created. Recovery was going to take some time, but at least there were the backups. As he rounded the corner into the business park the damage was more than he expected, giving way to a knot that began to develop in his stomach. Pulling up to the curb, he stared in disbelief at the empty concrete slab where the building once stood...
Most people never think about a business recovery plan until after it's too late. And then when disaster does happen, the company is turned upside down for a day or two while everyone tries to rebuild their lives they have created over the last few years. Never mind the chaos that's created in your employee's lives, because it's minimal compared to the financial impact to your company and customer loyalty. And it will only take just one major incident to make you a believer in a disaster recovery plan. Just ask Frank.
Wouldn't it be great to have a time machine to go back into the past after a major computer crash? Well, we don't sell time machines but we think we have the next best thing.
There's lots of ways to prevent data loss of your company's critical information, but what about the servers that run your network? If your server's operating system fails, then what? Backing up everything is an important first step, but getting it all up and running again is not quite as easy. That's why an end to end disaster recovery and business continuity plan should be in place to prevent your business from coming to a halt. The best plan is one that is well thought out and driven by automated processes.
Brandon Business Machines technology specialists can develop a business continuity plan that will keep your servers up and running no matter what happens. Our Assurity NAS is a completely self contained Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliance that runs automated backup routines for your servers at specified intervals down to fifteen minutes. Assurity NAS can even be configured to run as a standby server if needed, and can restore server operations in less than half an hour. There couldn't be a simpler solution for business continuity & disaster recovery planning.
Data Recovery
Assurity NAS takes a snapshot of the server every fifteen minutes, so if a problem does occur, there is minimal loss of data. With just a few clicks of the mouse, Virtual Server mode can be activated to keep business processes up and running while the problem is diagnosed and a course of action is developed. Even if there is a catastrophic failure where servers and Assurity NAS is lost, our off site services can be energized to deliver a temporary server to your office with the most recent daily backup on the next business day.
