Where traditional approaches lack the � exibility and e� ciency of virtualization, requiring manual time-consuming backup and restoral processes or complex server failover con� gurations, cloud-based solutions get you back to business quickly, in as little as four hours.

While we will work with you to design a custom disaster recovery plan and server restoral schedule based on your business’s needs, we also provide guidelines and real-world scenarios to give you an idea of how quickly you could be up and running after a disaster strikes.

Finding out your backups weren’t working after you tried to restore data – that’s a disaster you can avoid.

Take our Failover Challenge.Unplug your most critical server and, without plugging that server back in, return to the same performance level* within four (4) hours.If you can, we’ll buy you an iPad.

(*Restoring to the same performance level means your disaster recovery solution will have the same IO, RAM, storage and CPU levels that your server had before the disaster.)
