A recent study discovered that, of companies experiencing a major loss of computer records, 43 percent never reopened, 51 percent closed within two years of the loss, and a mere 6 percent survived over the long-term. For small and medium-sized businesses in particular, these statistics suggest the necessity of crafting a Business Continuity Planning (BCP) strategy grounded in a robust data backup and recovery solution.
    Now there's a superior backup and disaster recovery solution that matches your business needs and fits within your budget. This new NAS-based technology performs data backup at the block level where the actual digital 1s and 0s are captured from the hard drive, essentially eliminating failures related to open files. With its fast virtualization capabilities, our NAS device can be configured to function as a standby server if needed. This unique device also can replace management intensive, error-prone tape backups while providing much more, starting with peace of mind.

     The NAS device can be configured to backup multiple Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 servers by partition or by logical drives. There are no file or folder-level exclusions, because a snapshot of the entire partition is taken at the block level on the hard drive. Also, database applications such as Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server transfer data in blocks without having to worry if files are open or if they are in use. Everything comes together in our NAS device to produce 15 minute incremental snapshots that safely reside within the device and are ready to be used to restore a file, a file folder, an email, or a database.

    Because the device takes snap shots every 15 minutes, administrators can choose a point in time shortly before the problem occurred and with just a few clicks of the mouse, this appliance allows you to activate it as a virtual server to keep business processes up and running while we diagnose the problem and plan a course of action for the down email server.
    In the event of a catastrophic server failure, our business continuity solution also includes a boot CD that allows us to perform a bare metal restore on new hardware in a fraction of the time of a typical server rebuild. This NAS device restoration will also allow you to eliminate the hardware abstraction layer during the restore process. So that the new drivers can be loaded on the server replacement, no matter which server brand is used, giving you speedy recovery options in times of crisis.
