| Near Time Backup: |
| Our "Incremental Forever" methodology captures all changes to initial image in increments of 15 minutes. The Incremental Forever technology not only backs up recent datasets but also allows to reconstruct the state of the data as it stood at the end of various 15-minute restoration points. This level of forensic and auditable data recovery may satisfy various regulatory requirements (such as HIPAA and GLBA) for data retention and data record reconstruction, and also serves stakeholders such as supply chain planners, warehouse analysts, auditors, and legal counsel. |
| Onsite Virtual Server: |
| If any of your servers fail, our server virtualization technology embedded in the Network Attached Storage (NAS) allows servers and applications to be restored and rebooted in less than 30 minutes in most cases. As you may sometimes edure a wait of several days in order to receive replacement servers from vendors, your NAS can have your business up and running. Our technology allows you to remain in business without any significant loss of data backup, server functionality, or application downtime. |
| A complete image: |
| We generate an image of all hard drive partitions via an agent, which is warehoused on the NAS device physically located at your location. The data is stored using AES-256 bit encryption and compressed. We employ a block-level, not file-level, backup, which means that data is captured at the level of 1's and 0's. Database applications such as Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server transfer data in blocks. The block level image is an exact digital duplicate of the on-site server. |
| Intuitive and Flexible Restoration: |
| A good backup system should allow for quick and flexible restores. Our solution allows for recovery of files, folders, partitions, mailboxes/messages, databases/tables using a quick and intuitive process. In case of a complete server failure we do support a bare metal restore to new hardware which has a different configuration, hardware and drivers as compared to the failed server. Our 15-minute incremental based backup allows restores to be done from any point in time, allowing for multiple versions of files, folders, messages/mailboxes, database/tables to be restored. |
| Secure Remote Storage: |
| After imaging the servers to which it is attached, the NAS device then creates an independent 256-bit encrypted tunnel and transmits the imaged data to a secure offsite location where it resides in an encrypted, compressed format. That remote site then replicates again to an alternate data center, creating a total of three copies of the data in three geographically distinct regions. Since the data is encrypted and only you have the key, no one has access at any of the remote storage facilities. |
| Secure, Bandwidth Throttling Transfer: |
| Transmission itself occurs over your Internet connection, and can easily be configured to minimize bandwidth consumption. Our NAS leverages Adaptive Bandwidth Throttling, which only utilizes unused bandwidth or allows us to set an outbound limit. Our UDP based smart transfer technology utilizes a host of innovative algorithms to speed up data transport and resume from failure. We can therefore exercise fine control over the data imaging and transmission processes. |
| 24X7 Complete Managed Solution: |
| Our Network Operations Center (NOC) monitors your NAS units and the attached servers 24/7. 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, at an additional cost we will overnight ship replacements—pre-loaded with all stored data—directly to your location. |
| Affordable Cost: |
We offer a pricing packaged that is all inclusive of the complete backup and disaster recovery service-with no hidden costs. All your costs are bundled and include the NAS, the Incremental Forever Methodology, file restorations, file integrity checks, secure data transmission and remote storage.
