ON-LINE BACK-UPS (OLBU), DISASTER RECOVERY AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING

In the face of massive data loss due to hardware failure, denial of access or loss of premises, it is imperative to restore service and data as quickly and completely as possible.  Nearly half of all companies suffering from a catastrophic data loss never recover.  More than 90 percent of those who did not have a realistic DR plan close down in the following years. 

We work with you and your service partners to design and implement OLBU solutions that provide a backup for your mission critical systems to enable you to recover service within a world-class offshore datacentre.

Protect Data from Natural Disasters
In the wake of the devastation caused during the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons in the US and Caribbean, the Tsunami in Asia, and ever present terrorist threats, the importance of a credible solution has never been more apparent. Fire, flood, earthquakes, lightning, and solar flares strike unexpectedly and can destroy all your data. Unless you store your backups offsite nightly, you may be forced to start from scratch.

Safeguard Against Technical Data Loss Risks
Computer Viruses & Worms Viruses often surface even before virus protection software updates can catch them, corrupting your files, hard drive, programs and operating systems.

Hard Drive Crash & Failure: These mechanical magnetic storage devices are extremely susceptible to failure.
Head crashes, circuit board shorts, electrostatic shocks, power surges, overheating, etc. can all leave you with no other option but to send your hard drive to very expensive data recovery professionals if you don't have a recent backup.

PC Power Failure: Power surges, sags and failures can damage hard drives and corrupt Windows systems, databases and other programs and services that need to be shut down safely. Surge protectors, UPS, and backup generators can be expensive and don't always protect you. On Line Backups helps you recover data and roll back to a working system state.

Backup Media Degradation: Backup media (tape, DVD, CD, Jaz, Zip or floppy) is notoriously failure-prone. Backup media are vulnerable to damage by the environment (heat, sunlight, humidity, liquids, dust) and human mishandling (scratching, bending and dropping). They can be easily lost or stolen. Magnetic backup media can also be damaged by electromagnetic fields emitted by TVs, monitors, speakers and other electronic devices.

Protection from Human Data Loss Risks
Protect your data from hackers, thieves and vandals by backing it up securely offsite. IT Outsource's OLBU system provides unique protection against disgruntled employees trying to maliciously delete your data.
