Business Continuity Appliance - Keep I.T. Safe

Business continuity isn't just about backing up your data. It's about ensuring when your server or network crashes, that your business can get back up and running within minutes, not days. BlackBird's Business Continuity Appliance offers you the best solution at a price you can afford.

It's Not If, It's When

It's a simple fact—computer hardware will fail. And when your server goes down, will your business survive if you can't get it back up and running quickly? Tapes, discs and even remote backups ensure your data is safe, but how long before your server hardware, operating system, and applications are restored and ready to receive your collected data? Most of the time, it's days...

Better Than Backup

Over the last ten years, tape has been synonymous with backing up critical business data at a low cost. Unfortunately, tape backup has become more of a liability than a solution. Tapes are delicate, have high failure rates and manual backup routines are tedious, difficult to maintain and frequently lead to either loss or theft.
