Return To Business After A Disaster In As Little As 6-24 Hours!
High-Speed Backup Recovery Means Back To Business Faster
What Makes Cloud400 Online Backup So Much Faster?
With other disaster recovery providers, you need to physically bring your backup data tape to their data center for recovery after a disaster. Or you might very well be backing up to the cloud, but there’s no recovery infrastructure to which you can restore your data and applications.
But with Cloud400 Online Backup you not only get the recovery infrastructure you need, but recovery is fast, and you’re back in business quicker than you ever thought possible
What Is Cloud400 Online Backup?
Cloud400 Online Backup is a technology that saves your backup and sends it over the Internet to our secure offsite data center.
For Online Backup, Cloud400 installs a Virtual Tape Library (VTL, or Backup Appliance) at your location. A VTL looks at your IBM Power i (iSeries, System i, AS400) like a tape drive, such as an LTO tape drive. In fact, the VTL is a RAID disk system with 4-20+ TB of disk storage depending on your needs. There is no single-point of failure with RAID, unlike a traditional tape backup.
As a result, a fully-integrated data disaster recovery to the cloud and backup system is ready at our site, where everything from your data files to your applications will be recovered to our infrastructure in the event of a disaster.
That means you can feel confident that upon your notifying us of your system outage, we’ll begin your recovery, getting you back up and running in as little as 6 to 24 hours!
And that’s critical to keeping you in business.
How Does Cloud400 Online Backup Work?
Cloud400 Online Backup VTL Is Placed At Your Site. After you’ve performed your nightly backup to the VTL, Cloud400 Online Backup automatically replicates your backed up applications and data to our secure data center offsite. This enables you to back up virtually all of your platforms, locally and to the cloud.
When Disaster Strikes, Cloud400 Online Backup Swings Into Action. Because your last backup is already on a disk-to-disk Cloud400 Online Backup VTL at our location, we have your files, applications, software – a complete mirror of your backed up applications and data –everything you need to recover your system fast.
We Restore Your Information And Data To Our Recovery Servers to get you up and running again within 6-24 hours!
Once The Restore Is Complete, We’ll Work With You To Connect To Your Network, enabling your branches, employees and customers access to your applications and data.
Recovery Testing. When you sign up for Cloud400 Online Backup, we execute a recovery test to ensure everything is in working order, verifying that you are backing up all essential data.
Documentation And Recommendations. We note testing results, which inform you of how much recovery time will be needed should a disaster occur. After that, we execute a recovery test every 12 months to ensure we’ve got your complete system covered…All included as part of your service.
Why Is Cloud400 Online Backup Better?
Cloud400 Online Backup is better because it is faster than your current backup, restoring is much faster than by tape, and you have an offsite backup at Cloud400 data center so you can remotely recover in 6 to 24 hours – way faster than a traditional hot site, over-night tape or replacement server (which can take 3+ days).
