Business Continuity Appliance - Keep I.T. Safe
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? Even if your data is survives, how long will it be before your server hardware, operating system, applications are ready for business after a disaster? 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. But technology keeps getting better. Tape backups are now 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. Don't find your self in a situation wondering "where did our old IT guy keep the backup tapes"... the answer usually isn't pretty.
