data back-up/recovery
DataSafe: >>how it works >>main benefits >>cost benefit >>pricing

The amount of business data residing on desktops and laptops is increasing rapidly.  Work force mobility brings significant business benefits, but it also means that many employees, sales people, and telecommuters are storing critical information on their remote computing devices.
 
Relying on manual data backups to CD, floppy disks, and networked storage can create logistical nightmares and introduce business risk into your environment, largely because desktop and laptop users typically backup their data sporadically and incorrectly. 
 
DataSafe solution eliminates the possibility of data loss, protecting your end-user productivity.  From our secure data center, we offers a rapid, reliable, and cost-effective backup and restore solution for both static and remote/mobile computing platforms. 
 
DataSafe automated backup process makes it easier for users to backup and restore their data and enforces full compliance with corporate and legislative backup policies and standards. In the event of a lost, stolen, or damaged laptop/desktop, DataSafe quickly restores a user’s data files (including Microsoft Outlook Personal Folders files), desktop icons, and Internet favorites to a new computer or hard drive. Desktop users have their data protected without human intervention; company information assets stay available and protected 24x7.

how it works
DataSafe is a fully managed, online data backup, restoration, archiving and business continuity service for both UNIX and NT environments. We installs a backup device called a Virtual Service Gateway (DS-Client) on your network. We then connect this back to our data center via the internet.

Working with your system administrator and MIS team, we establish a backup schedule which allows you to specify what data is to be backed up at any given time each day(usually at night when there is little activity).

Once this is set up the backup process is fully automated and during your specified backup window the data is transferred to the DS-Client where it is compressed and encrypted. The backup data is then transported off site via the internet to one of our highly secure data centers. The data is held off site on disk at the data center from where it can be restored quickly and easily. The DataSafe system can send you an e-mail each day informing you that the backup was completed successfully.

Individual files can be restored directly online via a quick and easy to use DataSafe interface. In the event of a major data loss or site disaster we also provides an emergency data transportation service, where backup data is transferred to a portable DataSafe system and delivered to your chosen DR site.

DataSafe is able to quickly adapt to meet changing business requirements.

Addressing key business issues:
Full automation of unreliable, labour intensive process.
Pressure to reduce costs
IT skills shortage
Availability, security and integrity of data
Managing unpredictable growth in data storage
Improve backup and restore performance
Archiving for legislative purposes.
Capital expenditure and staffing costs are reduced by eliminating manual tape handling processes. A simple 'pay-as-you-go, pay-as-you-grow' charging model provides scalability and predictability of costs.

Better utilization of over stretched and scarce IT staff who are often ineffectively involved in the backup and restore process. Key personnel can be redeployed into more productive areas of your business.

A full copy of your data is retained online in a secure offsite location, enabling immediate restoration of data 24 x 7. Integrity of data is assured through use of sophisticated encryption technology onto a customer dedicated platform.

The cost of managing storage is estimated to be 8 times greater than the cost of acquisition, which is intensified by data growth (Gartner Dataquest). DataSafe enables you to cope with planned growth and unplanned surges in demand.

Backup times are significantly reduced,thereby offering longer availability to users. Restore times for accidentally deleted files are significantly reduced from hours to minutes.

Data can be archived and retrieved easily, addressing legislative and regulatory requirements.
