Backing up remote sites

Backing up remote sites:

Disaster's are never good. They are always bad. Fire, flood, or vandalism strikes when you least expect, but NavigateStorage can show you how to plan the contingencies and be prepared to recover efficiently and effectively.'

Backing up of remote sites used to mean autoloaders and hoping that the local folks removed and safeguarded the tapes. Today's technology has made the backing up of remotes much less of a headache. Today we can backup via a backup service over the internet or we can backup to a local array for fast local restores and then send only delta changes back to central site. Or utilizing technology such as commonality factoring or capacity optimization we can achieve full backups with minimal WAN traffic.

Some of our storage arrays, such as American Megatrends (iSCSI SAS and SATA), actually have encrypted remote replication with data de-duplication capabilities all baked into the software. Another popular way to protect Remote Sites is with FilesX while some organizations like to turn the job over to our fully manned Network Operations Center and yet others enjoy the self managed e-folders offerings.

Whatever your choosing, give us a call and most likely we will have a solution tailored to meet your particular needs.
