How fast could your business recover if your network servers
were suddenly out of service?

As we put more and more of our business processes on our networks, plans to ensure business continuity for key IT services and business critical applications have become an even more essential requirement.

Downtime of important applications is a costly proposition and extended downtime can even be fatal-industry research finds that a significant number of companies that experience extended interruption to IT services soon go out of business.

Near Real-Time Backups: Our "Incremental Forever" methodology captures all changes to the initial image in increments of 15 minutes. The Incremental Forever technology not only backs up recent datasets but also allows end users to reconstruct the state of their data as it stood at the end of various 15-minute restoration points.

On-site Virtual Server: If any of your servers fail, our server virtualization technology embedded in the iBDR allows customer servers and applications to be restored and rebooted in less than 30 minutes in most cases. This can be critical as you may sometimes endure a wait of several days in order to receive replacement servers from vendors. iBDR 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 warehoused on the iBDR 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. Block transfer is the most efficient way to write to disk and is much less prone to errors such as those that result from file-level backups. Additionally, block level backups are not affected by open files
or open databases. The block-level image is an exact digital duplicate
of the on-site servers.

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 iBDR supports a bare metal restore to new hardware which has a different configuration,
hardware and drivers as compared to the failed server.

Secure Remote Storage: After imaging the servers to which it is attached, the iBDR 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.

Transmitting data to a remote site is a key component of iBDR. It guarantees that, in case of physical damage to your network or iBDR appliance, or even regional disaster, the data is safe in uncompromised locations.

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.

24x7 Completely Managed Solution: Our Network Operations Center (NOC) monitors your iBDR 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 iBDR issues, we will conduct repairs at your site. If any iBDR 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 iBDR appliance, the Incremental Forever Methodology, file restorations, file integrity checks, secure data transmission and remote storage.
