Disaster Recovery

Would your business survive?

Is your data safe? Are you sure your backups really work? Would your business survive a fire, tornado, hurricane, earthquake or even a simple server hardware failure? Having any doubts? Call us and we will make sure you can confidently answer yes to all of these questions.

Our unique data disaster recovery and backup solution provides:

WAVEnet now offers a complete cohesive Backup and Disaster Recovery Solution (BDR) for Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Servers. This reasonably priced, all-encompassing solution provides Small to Medium size businesses with near real-time backups that also includes seamless off-site data storage along with multi-year archiving and fast server virtualization capabilities. There are advanced restoration options like file and folder level restorations, with Exchange message and mailbox recovery and bare metal restorations to dissimilar hardware. Within hours, OnBoard DR server can also be configured to function as a virtual server if needed. This solution will replace management intensive, error-prone tape backups while providing much more.

 We perform automatic data backup at the block level where the actual 1's and 0's are captured from the hard drive essentially eliminating failures related to open files. Block level data is raw data which does not have a file structure imposed on it. Database applications such as Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server transfer data in blocks without having to worry if files are open or being used. Block transfer is the most efficient way to write to disk. Backups are performed as frequent as every 15 minutes providing clients with an increased amount of restore points when compared to traditional tape backups.

 Data can be securely sent from the local NAS device to high availability, redundant off-site colocation facilities. All aspects of the on-site and off-site solution are monitored 24X7 for confidence that your backups will work when you need them most. We are able to provide you business Continuity needs without adding any overhead. This solution allows you to continue to function even after a disastrous event without the need to deploy redundant hardware and software and the need for them to invest in costly fault tolerant systems. We provide a solid backup and a well thought out recovery strategy that is the primary component of a Business Continuity Plan.

Recovery Options

Recovering files and folders is a simple process where the entire server is mounted as a volume on the NAS device. The files can then be copied to the destination server over the network. We also can quickly restore files, folders, and Exchange mailbox or message.

Virtualization (Physical to Virtual)

The NAS device is capable of virtualizing failed servers while keeping the exact system state previous to the failure. This means there are no configurations necessary as the server retains the same IP address and application state. Once virtualized, the server will resume the same backup schedule previous to the failure. This virtualization process can be completed in under 30 minutes.

Bare Metal Restore (Virtual to Physical Recovery)

When it comes time to restore the Virtualized Server back to physical hardware our Bare Metal Restore process allows restorations to dissimilar hardware. Once the server image is loaded on the new server we can manipulate the Hardware Abstraction Layer by inserting updated drivers for the new hardware.

Monitoring and Management  

The OnBoard DR device is monitored and managed 24x7 by our NOC Team. If an issue occurs during any backup or with the hardware we are immediately notified and take corrective action. Not only do we monitor the entire solution-Servers, NAS and Remote Storage facilities, but we also manage it by performing restorations and virtualization of servers as needed. Daily verification tests to validate the integrity of base image and incrementals. Should an incremental have a corruption, the corrupt incremental is removed and reset to ensure a valid state is maintained.
