Combining online server backup, IT disaster recovery, continuous data protection, and server failover providing protection at our continuous data protection center.

You need to ensure you have frequent and reliable backups of your business data, preferably off site. Have the ability to failover your entire IT environment to a remote site in the event of an incident at your business.  An interruption on data support is may be something as simple as a temporary evacuation or a catastrophic event such as a fire or flood.

Our Data Protection service provides a simple solution to these two needs in a single managed service.  Your data is encrypted and stored off site at data protection centers.  Your service is continuously monitored to ensure a rapid response.

Online Server Backup

• Backup as often as every 15 minutes
• An agent is installed on each server and workstation to be protected. An initial
  load is normally made to a supplied portable data device which is shipped to
  us. Subsequent backups are incremental and done to ensure seamless access to
  all data at a range of time points.
• Your data is encrypted and stored off site.
• An optional on site appliance can allow for faster local recovery of data
• Works with SQL and Exchange servers and any VSS compliant applications
• Incremental technology backups up only changed sectors after the initial data load ensuring rapid and efficient backups at all times.

Business Disaster Recovery Failover

• When a failure or other incident prevents access to your primary IT infrastructure,
  a complete infrastructure is built and is operational within sixty minutes using
  virtual machine technology. The environment is hosted at our data protection centers on an enterprise class VMWare server farm.
• Recovery points can be chosen from 15 minute intervals over 7 days or daily intervals prior to that.
• Servers are isolated in their own Virtual Network and firewalled for security
• One or more workstations, running the required applications, are included in the
  solution.
• Once the primary environment is operational again, or rebuilt, the data can be
  “failed back” to it from our data center with minimal downtime.
• Quarterly testing of the failover environment is included.

Continuous Data Protection Provides Complete Business Continuity Disaster Recovery

Continuous Data Protection is available for any Windows Server 2000 or newer, including exchange, SQL and SBS. It supports redirected DNS records for web sites and email upon failover.

It is easy add servers or workstations.

Restore points as per backup intervals as shown below. Much faster and better than tape backup and also offers instant restore at multiple restore points including full Disaster Recovery Failover.

Network Overview

Option 1 – No onsite appliance

• Install the software agents on each server & workstation to be protected
• Connect the portable data drive to a server on the network
• Create the initial destination to point at the portable data drive
• Create the backup schedule
• Execute the initial backup
• When all initial backups are completed, ship the portable data drive to us
• Pause backups, edit destination to the data center details provided by us on each server
• On notification, recommence the backups on each server

Option 2 – Onsite appliance

• Plug the onsite appliance into your network and let it obtain an IP address or assign one
• Install the software agents on each server & workstation to be protected
• Create initial destination to point at the on site appliance and create the backup schedule
• Execute the initial backup
• When all initial backups are completed, copy the data from the onsite appliance to the portable data drive provided by us and ship the drive back  in its secure packaging
