Disaster Recovery

and mitigation

Disaster mitigation and recovery is one of the hottest topics in the industry. Companies were first interested in protecting physical IT assets, using battery backups and physical security. The next trend was around backups. Data is more valuable than the hardware that it sits on. Businesses backed up to ensure that data was adequately protected in the case of fire, theft or virus damage.

Time is precious, businesses understand that when disaster strikes, just having their data ready to restore is not good enough. Just as businesses need to be resilient enough to shrug off hard times, they need the same capabilities within their IT infrastructure.

If your customers cannot purchase from you because your systems are down, they will simply go to one of your competitors. Those that operate in professional services industries know how many thousands of pounds they are losing in billable time. Lastly, those in manufacturing know what deadlines they are missing and what financial penalties they are accruing as a result of lost production time.

Our disaster recovery platform allows you to:

BACKUP

Backup your critical systems as often as every five minutes to a local disaster recovery device.

i

REPLICATE

Replicate these backups to the cloud on a customisable schedule, with infintely adjustable bandwidth usage.
l

KEEP WORKING

Boot a local, virtualised backup from any of your backup checkpoints, in a matter of minutes.

PROTECT

Protect against modern threats like crypto-viruses, by detecting mass file changes and sending alerts.

Ask yourself about your current backup solution

What support does your current backup solution offer? Have you got a clear escalation path if you try to restore a backup and it fails?
Our solution provides you with a complete system with end-to-end support, 24×7 and 365 days a year by us, with backup from the manufacturer. There is no chance that the manufacturer of one element of the system can blame another.
How do you ensure that your backup have not only run successfully, but can be successfully restored?
Our solution tests each backup upon completion, ensuring their integrity, and that they are fit for restoration.
When did you last conduct a full disaster recovery test?
As part of our solution, we carry out a full disaster recovery test once a year to ensure that data can be restored. During this process, we spin up the backups as virtual machines and ensure that they boot correctly.
Have you looked at how long your backups take to restore? You could have a server unusable for 7-8 hours while restoring to a bootable state.

Our solution allows us to boot straight from the backup, meaning that we can have you up and running in a matter of minutes. Other systems (such as Storagecraft) state that they can do this, but in reality, the performance is poor and unusable by users.

What protection does your current system offer against crypto-viruses?
Our system checks for changes to your system and backs up these changes every five minutes. Using proprietary algorithms, we detect file changes caused by crypto-viruses and the then system warns us. During this time, backups will still occur, but none of your data will be overwritten by encrypted file versions.
