DynaSis IT Services Prepares Businesses for Data Loss and More: Business Continuity Plans Increase Survivability after Disaster

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 30, 2009

DynaSis, a technology managed service provider, is now offering business continuity plans to help small to medium sized businesses prepare for emergencies such as natural disaster, network crashes, or theft of business data. Unlike enterprises, many smaller companies cannot afford optimal in-house strategies and solutions. These companies are consequently at an elevated risk of being put out of business due to any major loss of data. A business continuity plan goes beyond offsite data backup and recovery and gives businesses a strategy detailing actions that will be taken after a crisis so the business can remain as functional as possible.

A key component of a business continuity plan is of course making sure critical documents and data are digitized or copied and stored off site, but the plan encompasses much more. Aspects businesses may not have considered include doing visual walkthroughs of facilities at least once a year to look for deficiencies, as well as making sure the business has sufficient business interruption insurance to cover the cost of operations for at least 60 days with no income. Other areas of concern consist of communications with employees in the event of phone system or Internet outages and creating a plan in case key employees can’t perform their duties or quit suddenly. Maintaining a list of emergency vendors as well as securing an alternative place to conduct business if the primary facility is unavailable are also details the plan would include.

DynaSis President David Moorman said, “Our goal is always to be a value added provider in the eyes of our clients. For this reason, we go beyond being just your IT repair guy. Protecting your data is half the battle, but when a crisis hits, you also have to think about what you are going to do to get back up to speed. What a business does in the first four hours after an emergency often determines how well they can bounce back.”

With 87% of companies that lose access to their corporate data for more than 7 days going out of business within a year and less than 5% of non-regulated businesses having a business continuity plan, and the need for business continuity planning services is real and the benefits to clients are immediate and long-term. Benefits realized after completing a business continuity/disaster recovery plan include competitive advantage, insurance savings, efficiency savings, improved processes, increased stockholder value and peace of mind.

New Cases of Swine Flu Fuel Demand For Commsready"s Business Continuity Telecoms

Gosport, Hampshire (PRWEB) August 15, 2009

Companies are using web-based business continuity telecoms from Commsready as back-up in case staff are quarantined by swine flu.

With 140,000 new cases reported across England in just two weeks, businesses are using Commsready’s technology to set up emergency call diversion systems.

The pre-prepared call diversions can then be activated at the click of a mouse when needed.

It means that staff quarantined at home because of swine flu can continue working. Calls to their office numbers can be seamlessly re-directed to them.

Commsready’s latest inbound telephony solutions are web-based so firms do not have to spend the huge amounts of time and money that were traditionally needed for business continuity telecoms.

The new technology means it is no longer time-consuming or expensive to plan ahead in the face of impending threats to business continuity.

It is being seen as particularly effective to counter the impact of rapidly changing threats such as swine flu.

The Health Protection Agency estimated there were 30,000 new cases of swine flu in England in one week with 110,000 new cases the week before. There have been tens of millions of calls to the UK Pandemic Flu hotline.

A spokesperson for Hampshire-based Commsready: “The rate of infection seems to be slowing but with 140,000 new cases of swine flu in two weeks there is no room for complacency.

“With the economy already in a difficult state, don’t let swine flu be the final straw that breaks your company – not when today’s business continuity telecoms solutions are so cheap, quick and easy.”

Earlier this month Business Link emailed companies, urging them “to ensure they have effective contingencies in place.”

Business Link recommends that companies:

Exton, Pa. (PRWEB) March 06, 2012

At the Digital Signage Expo 2012, Scala, Inc. today introduced the Leading Indicators CxO Board, a new, exclusive product using Scala software and digital displays that acts as a business barometer highlighting key performance indicators (KPIs), goals, achievements and other metrics. It enables c-level executives, directors and managers to create easily a motivational measurement display of metrics critical to business success.

With the CxO Board, companies can visually track leads and sales, measure regional goals and even show sales costs by individual, group or district.

If a Hurricane Hits Your Servers, A Cloud Could Save Your Business

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) August 27, 2009

Hurricane season is officially underway. The season is now entering its historical peak period of August through October, when most storms form. Now is a good time for business owners and IT managers to review their current disaster recovery plan, says Dave Minns of Storage Guardian, the company that specializes in online and cloud backup solutions for small and medium-sized businesses.

“You can minimize the business impact of a natural disaster with online data backup to an offsite location — and nowadays that means the cloud,” says Dave Minns, client services manager at Storage Guardian. “Companies with a cloud-based business continuity plan can recover from a disaster in minutes. And keep in mind that every minute you’re down is a major ding in your company’s credibility with customers, partners and suppliers.”

Storage Guardian’s ‘Jumpstart Cloud Continuity’ program — limited offer

Storage Guardian is making it easy for a business to implement cloud continuity by providing free initial data upload via USB drive for the first 50 companies that sign up. The USB drive, which is shipped direct to the customer, eliminates the need to perform a time-consuming initial backup via the Internet.

Click here for more details on the Jumpstart program.

Comprehensive business continuity protection has historically been something only large corporations could afford. The required investment in expensive, redundant hardware (both onsite and in remote locations) seldom provided suitable return or a 100% reliable restore of critical data. However, the advent of ‘cloud computing’ has made the provision of dynamically scalable and virtualized resources more available, including storage. Now, with Storage Guardian Cloud Continuity, even small businesses can quickly recover their IT infrastructure after a major disaster, ensuring their business doesn’;t miss a heartbeat.

Cloud continuity is the latest approach to business continuity

Storage Guardian Cloud Continuity drastically reduces the operational impact of a natural disaster by restoring a single-server backup set from high availability storage to the cloud in just minutes. Users then have full access to all applications and data while the physical server is replaced, at which time normal operations can be resumed.

With cloud continuity service in place, a business can:

Minimize operational downtime
Continue business-critical activities while repairing its physical environment
Gain access to restored data in the cloud from anywhere in the world
Restore the data from the data repository into the cloud at LAN speed

Storage Guardian’s latest cloud continuity technology supports online backup and disaster recovery for virtualized computing environments (Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware ESX), and no hardware investment is required.

About Storage Guardian

Storage Guardian delivers business continuity protection and information lifecycle management. Storage Guardian is used by small and midsize businesses, enterprises, and multiple-platform LAN computing environments that want to safeguard their critical business data in a secure, off-site location. Its remote backup service is the culmination of a decade of intense research and software development and represents a superior alternative to tape-based data recovery systems. All Storage Guardian’s solutions are based on Televaulting technology from Asigra, a recognized leader in enterprise online backup. The company is also developing a select network of authorized VARs to service the off-site backup and fast data recovery needs of companies located throughout North America. http://www.storageguardian.com.

Horizon Data Center Solutions Launches Secure Cloud Computing Platform Called FlexSafe Cloud, Expanding their Infrastructure as a Service Business

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) September 14, 2009

Horizon Data Center Solutions, a leading data center and IT flexsourcing firm serving businesses and government agencies with colocation, disaster recovery and managed IT services, has launched its cloud computing solution, called FlexSafe Cloud.

FlexSafe Cloud is a private, secure approach to cloud computing that meets the needs of organizations that want the flexibility, scalability and cost savings of virtualization, but that also require the security of a private computing platform.

FlexSafe Cloud is part of Horizon’s strategy to fill a gap in the marketplace by providing flexible, full-service IT outsourcing options that can serve the enterprise client as well as small and medium sized businesses. The company pioneered the concept with its DCFlexSpace colocation model and has continued to expand available IT services to meet client demand.

Horizon says the FlexSafe Cloud delivers immediate benefits for Software as a Service (SaaS) companies, e-commerce businesses with applications that experience fluctuating transaction volumes, financial firms, government agencies, and other entities that want the greater efficiencies and cost savings of virtualization without giving up security.

Chuck Smith, Executive Vice President with Horizon and the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, says that, while the industry debates the actual definition of cloud computing, Horizon has adopted the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) working definition, with its key characteristics of on-demand self-service, ubiquitous network access, ability to rapidly scale resources and pay on a measured-usage basis.

“Our growing list of federal clients made it a logical decision to adopt the NIST working definition of the cloud,” says Smith.

Smith says the FlexSafe Cloud is highly scalable and based upon Horizon’s Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering. Beginning with Tier III data centers, the Horizon IaaS solution is built on leading edge technology providers like Above Net, Cisco, F5 Networks and HP. The FlexSafe Cloud service is virtualized using VMware, and provides the High Availability (HA) performance and security levels required by enterprise data center customers. HDCS currently has two DFW area data centers, providing fast, reliable data backup and replication solutions.

“We believe that the large public cloud providers like Amazon and Google have done an excellent job of supporting the testing and development world, so there’s no need for us to pursue the public cloud. For government and enterprise clients, private clouds are where we can add significant value,” Smith says. The company will also offer community cloud solutions for entities with multiple businesses.

Horizon CEO, Lance A. Smith adds, “Our current clients appreciate our highly secure, reliable data center infrastructure and have asked us to provide this service. We are pleased to extend our relationships with them, while at the same time offering an option that represents our continued charge to fill the gap in the IT outsourcing market between the very large, global IT outsourcing companies and traditional hosting companies. With the FlexSafe Cloud option, the latest development in our fast-paced growth strategy, Horizon continues to be among the leaders in the data center market.”

For more information, contact Chuck Smith, Chief Marketing Officer, at 214 556 4138 or Connie Holubar at 903 880 8217. Corporate offices for Horizon can be reached at 972 509 0110.

About Horizon Data Center Solutions (HDCS)

Horizon Data Center Solutions is a premier data center and managed services provider. The company works with enterprise clients that run extensive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications that require significant storage and mission-critical reliability, as well as small and medium sized businesses that appreciate the same.

Menlo Park, CA (PRWEB) October 12, 2009

Abacus Solutions Announces Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Solutions Packages

Marietta, GA (PRWEB) October 18, 2009

Abacus Solutions, a leading IT services firm, today announced its new Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Solutions packages.

“Every company I know of is concerned with business continuity, and therefore needs a disaster recovery plan,” said Patrick Hiller, CEO of Abacus Solutions. “Our bundled plans make determining the right solution simple. Our pre-packaged plans make determining needs and budget easy by eliminating guess work and hidden costs.”

The Abacus Solutions Professional Service team takes the pre-packaged business continuity and disaster recovery solutions bundles and design the plans to work within a company’s needs. The plans are specifically designed to cater to customers with a variety of business continuity needs, from the customer that cannot afford any downtime but has a high budget, all the way to those that have a tight budget but can deal with a bit of downtime. Then the packages can be customized even further, with specific priorities in mind.

According to the Abacus Solutions certified engineers, companies tend to make the mistake of testing their disaster recovery plan using the “best case scenario.”

While these tests may be less time consuming, they do not account for failed disks, delivery time, and many other factors that can affect downtime. The Abacus Solutions disaster recovery plans are tested factoring in all conditions that determine how fast an IT department can get back up and running following a disaster situation.

The Abacus business continuity and disaster recovery solutions also span different back-up preferences. Tapes can still be used for storage, but Abacus also has options that allow data to be stored online or even hosted at the Abacus Solutions facility. Having different options allows a business to choose the one that works for them. The Abacus plans range from a basic, do-it-yourself approach, to plans where Abacus handles everything from start to finish.

About Abacus Solutions

Abacus Solutions architects multi-platform enterprise-level, server, storage and networking solutions by offering technologies from leading vendors. Products include new and used servers, software, networking and storage solutions. Whether new or expertly refurbished and warrantied equipment is needed, Abacus works directly with, and across, the purchasing and IT departments at both strategic and deep-dive technical levels to match the right equipment, budgets and processes to a company’s direct needs — delivering technology much faster than working directly with OEM vendors, at a fraction of the cost.

SteelEye Supports Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity for Windows Server 2008 R2

Menlo Park, CA (PRWEB) October 26, 2009

SteelEye Technology, Inc. (steeleye.com), a leading provider of business continuity and disaster recovery solutions for multi-vendor IT infrastructures, today announced SteelEye DataKeeper support for Windows Server 2008 R2, including support for multi-site clusters of Hyper-V, SQL Server, File/Print, DHCP and all other Microsoft cluster resource types.

DataKeeper, a highly optimized data replication solution for Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, is available in two versions. The first delivers data replication services as an extension to Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, while a second version of DataKeeper Cluster Edition further extends the capabilities of Microsoft Cluster Services and Windows Server Failover Clustering. Both editions support real-time replication of Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtual machines between physical servers across either LAN or WAN connections.

“Windows Server 2008 R2 with support for Live Migration of Hyper-V virtual machines across data centers is a best-of-breed solution that is unrivaled in the market today,” said David Bermingham, director of product management, SteelEye Technology. “The first time our customers see that they are able to live migrate a Hyper-V virtual machine to a remote data center, they are blown away. Moving virtual machines between servers in the same data center has become commonplace. However, by deploying Windows Server 2008 R2 and SteelEye DataKeeper Cluster Edition, we have removed the physical barrier, enabling customers to migrate Hyper-V virtual machines between data centers as easily as they can migrate virtual machines between servers.”

By keeping a running Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtual machine synchronized with a standby VM in an alternate location, DataKeeper enables disaster recovery without the data loss typically associated with traditional backup and restore technology. Real-time continuous replication of active Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V VMs ensures that in the event of a disaster, the standby server can be activated with minimal to no data loss.

DataKeeper Cluster Edition allows administrators to build “shared-nothing” and geographically dispersed Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V clusters. By eliminating the requirement for shared storage, the administrator can protect against both planned and unplanned downtime for servers and storage. The use of DataKeeper with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V VMs allows for non-disruptive disaster recovery testing. By simply accessing the replicated VMs in the disaster recovery site, the administrator can segment a virtual network separate from the production network and start the replicated VMs for disaster recovery testing. An administrator can perform complete disaster recovery testing without impacting the production site.

In addition to support for Hyper-V clusters, SteelEye DataKeeper Cluster Edition enables multi-site clusters for all other Microsoft cluster resource types such as SQL Server, Exchange, File/Print and DHCP. SteelEye DataKeeper Cluster Edition reduces the cost of deploying clusters by eliminating the need for a SAN and increases the availability of the application by eliminating the single point of a failure that the SAN represents in a traditional cluster.

Visucate, a California-based academic value-added reseller of the Autodesk design software, selected SteelEye’s disaster recovery and business continuity solutions for its Hyper-V set-up.

“Knowing that data loss is one of the bigger causes for small businesses to fail, we had to do something about protecting our data,” said Visucate’s Chief Technical Officer Jeremy Null. “We needed an easy to implement, easy to maintain solution for providing higher protection for our data and critical systems, and we needed it to be cost effective. We needed our servers to replicate and be able to ‘hold their own’ on a standalone basis, so that if one failed the other could take over. SteelEye DataKeeper Cluster Edition does this for us.”

iCorps Technologies Launches Guardian Business Continuity Services

(PRWEB) December 15, 2009

Northeast iCorps Technologies today announced the launch of iCorps Guardian, the company’s enterprise-class, multi-tiered business continuity solution. iCorps Guardian responds to increasing market demands for the reliable backup, storage, and restoration of a company’s business-critical data.

“A company’s operations and revenue depend on the health and accessibility of its applications and systems – and the information they contain,” explains Michael Hadley, iCorps CEO, president, and co-founder. “But there is much more to keeping a business running than just performing backups.”

“That’s why we’re excited to introduce iCorps Guardian,” Hadley states. The comprehensive solution uniquely combines backup with dependable business continuity capabilities such as offsite storage, proactive monitoring and testing, and disaster recovery. He notes, “The availability of all these services in a single offering helps to protect a company’s intellectual property, and ensures the smooth continuance of business operations in the face of events as minor as an accidental file deletion – or as serious as a physical disaster.”

iCorps Guardian performs digital backups, a method which is “far more reliable than the standard tape backup many companies currently depend on,” says Hadley. According to Gartner, tape backups fail to restore 70 percent of the time.

Additional services under the iCorps Guardian umbrella include continuous management, monitoring, and maintenance of a company’s backup and storage – all of which are crucial to protecting and assuring the reliability of the stored digital data. iCorps’ unique CORE-validate process provides end-to-end testing and confirms that the business is prepared – at all times – for quick and successful recovery from any type of event or disaster.

Companies can customize the level of protection and recovery options available with iCorps Guardian to fit their specific business needs. Key components of the multi-tiered iCorps Guardian services include:

A Small Business Guide to Cloud Computing Produced by Cloudserve Ltd

(PRWeb UK) January 22, 2010

Whilst more and more small businesses are adopting Cloud computing services, it is fair to say that most small businesses are still unsure of what Cloud computing is. How does it relate to their specific business sector, what are the benefits to be obtained and how easy is it to transfer from current systems? The Cloudserve Guide to Small Business Computing provides the answers to these questions in easy to understand and non technical language, allowing small businesses to appreciate the advantages that can be expected from this new and fast growing technology.

Cloud computing is a natural evolution of business computing driven by the increasing availability of fast and reliable internet connectivity and the ability to share low cost, external data centres that are already well established. It can now be used to provide the majority of IT resources commonly required by small businesses.

The benefits compared to traditional on-premise IT solutions include cost savings of up to 50%, minimal capital outlay, continuously upgraded services, reduced management time, the flexibility to scale capacity up and down as required and easy access from home or when travelling

All aspects of IT resources are now being delivered by this new service including application software delivery, email and collaborations services, data storage, online backup, remote access and disaster recovery. There is no longer the need to manage these IT resources in-house. Many companies are moving away all together from running in-house PC and Server equipment by utilizing a mix of Cloud computing services including hosted desktop and hosted server resources. A recent statement by Gartner, a leader in Technology research and analysis recently predicted that Cloud computing will become so pervasive that by 2012, one out of five businesses will own no IT assets at all!

Rather than moving wholesale to Cloud in one big leap, most small businesses will move gradually in this direction by incrementally adopting specific Cloud computing solutions alongside their existing in- house systems. Certainly businesses that have already made investment in house infrastructure will want to achieve a return on these investments. It is when business requirements change or when equipment replacement is required that adoption of Cloud services makes good commercial sense

Volerro launches Business Commerce Network

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) April 10, 2012

Volerro Corporation, a leader of cloud-based business applications, today announced the introduction and launch of its Business Commerce Network. Volerro harnesses the vast and growing B2B social infrastructure to create an entirely new kind of network where businesses connect to each other, rather than to generic followers, to engage and collaborate on a secure, private platform.

Volerros Business Commerce Network uses the social network infrastructure as a foundation and builds from there extending social corporate profiles with essential business credentials and operating information, like license, certification, insurance, safety and diversity information to create a complete picture of your company for your customers and suppliers.

Your clients and suppliers are investing heavily in their social networking and media presence, working hard to actively broadcast valuable marketing content and capture mindshare in the B2B marketplace, said Kevin Lynch, CEO of Volerro Corporation. Our network starts with the social profile and adds the content necessary for your operations teams. Our extended profiles add the critical business credentials necessary for your customers to actually evaluate your company as a trading partner.

Today, 93% of all B2B companies are using social media to find new customers and stay close to customers they already have. A 2012 study indicates that 60% of these B2B marketers intend to increase their spending by between 15 and 20%. Volerro can help businesses leverage their customer and supplier social investment as a new resource for improving supplier intelligence, supply chain operations, and sales innovation.

Volerro’s business commerce platform and distinctive approach extends state-of-the-art social networking capabilities outward, so businesses can: tap into the network and connect trading partners; extend profiles to share business credentials and discover new trading partners; engage with clients and suppliers in a secure, social environment; monitor and make sense of big data with intelligent applications.

Volerro’s Business Commerce Network provides companies a secure, one-to-one connection to their customer or supplier, and provides social networking tools like file sharing and messaging to engage them with. This connection process is automated for a single connection or across thousands of clients and suppliers.

Theres a huge potential to leverage social platforms to drive supply chain efficiency and engage sales and distribution channels, said Kevin Lynch. But todays social platforms are far too open and far less secure than is required for enterprise operations teams. We believe our new offering bridges this gap, helping to make social operational.

Volerro models client and supplier connections between firms, therefore defining how documents are shared and how real-time conversations (microblogs) are distributed. These security measures eliminate the risk of confidential information being shared with competitors; careless messages being sent to global public forums; accidental cross-talk between clients, suppliers or both; and inquiries by vendors walking their social network.

Businesses can engage their supply chain and channels in real-time to share product, policy and contract documents; discover supply chain disruptions and collaborate on solutions; streamline procurements source to contract process; monitor social mentions regarding brands and service; gain global visibility to trading partners credentials; monitor third-party and government agencies for compliance and diligence, and more.

About Volerro Corporation

Volerro is a secure, cloud-based business commerce network that harnesses the vast and growing B2B social infrastructure to create an entirely new kind of network where businesses connect to each other, rather than to generic followers, to solve problems and drive operational efficiency.

Hurricane Earl Reminds Businesses to Hurricane Proof Their Business with VoiceNation

(PRWEB) September 03, 2010

Buford, GA (PRWEB) September 3, 2010 — The last major hurricane to come this close to North Carolina’s Outer Banks was Hurricane Isabel in 2003. At which time VoiceNation was contracted by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina to host its phone lines in the event that communications were to go down due to the hurricane. VoiceNation was contacted by the company to prepare five toll free phone numbers for the health care provider. Blue Cross more than 3,000 employees dialed in via the disaster recovery lines to keep apprised of information and instructions. The companys executives were able to connect with one of VoiceNation’s local data centers in North Carolina where calls could be handled by VoiceNation’s Raleigh answering service.

As expected all phone communication was lost in the area. Fortunately they had planned ahead to have their calls come through VoiceNation. Had they not had a back-up plan in place their recovery efforts would have come to a screeching halt.

VoiceNation, the premier provider of hosted voicemail, virtual pbx and answering service, announced today the results of a study that exposed shortfalls in most companies disaster recovery planning regarding critical voice communications. The result is that many organizations risk severe financial hardship and business disruption in the face of a disaster, natural or otherwise. Key findings included:

A new case study captures the designers technology journey. A full version of the story is available at emazzanti.net.

IT Function Over Form Needed

For Campion, IT function trumps form. Its network and computers needed to add value while improving productivity. However, business productivity ended up victim to massive email spam. Up-time, security and backup protection were concerns for intellectual property and overall business, and the need for full-file access while on the road was paramount for the continent-hopping president. eMazzanti addressed all of Campions concerns with its eCare/MXINSPECT solutions.

“One of our biggest problems was spam. Every employee was getting over 100 per day and it was killing productivity. eMazzanit’s MXINSPECT Email Defense virtually eliminated all the spam and let us go on with our business.”

Remote Access to Critical Files

“As office manager, my job often extends to solving problems other than 9-to-5. eMazzanti’s remote desktop access allows me to solve problems faster no matter what time it is, said Christine Carroll, office manager, Campion Platt.

“eMazzanti has our ‘back’. They remotely monitor and fix our network to make sure we’re ready to do business anytime, from anywhere, noted Campion. Isn’t this the kind of IT support any business would want?”

Leading Colocation Provider C4L is Nominated for Dorset Business Award

(Vocus/PRWEB) November 30, 2010

Leading UK colocation provider C4L have been named finalists for the Dorset Business Innovative Technology Award. The battle for the finalists place was even more competitive this year with a high number of entries raising the benchmark.

Over the course of the year C4L have launched the Bournemouth data centre and their Wireless Internet service. The Bournemouth data centre is one of the only data centres in the South West that is being built to Tier 3 specifications, and features biometric security, entirely lockable colocation suites, and genuine cold-aisle containment. C4L’s Wireless Internet service has been designed to provide Dorsets home owners and businesses with a secure, high speed and reliable Internet connection. Using a series of wireless antennas, C4L provides Internet speeds of up to 100Mbps, which are possible as they do not rely on the traditional copper cables which are one of the main causes of poor broadband speeds. This service will be of particular interest to those in rural areas, who have previously suffered from extremely slow, if any, Internet connections.

Matt Hawkins, Managing Director of C4L commented on the award, “Were delighted that our innovative technology has been recognised for this award. Weve invested heavily in developing new technologies over the past 12 months, and have recently launched our Wireless Internet service across Dorset. At C4L our ethos is to push technology barriers to the limit and it is fantastic that this is now being recognised by such prestigious awards.”

The Dorset Business Awards have been designed to acknowledge those companies whose vision, ambition and skills have led them to new heights of success. The winner will be announced at the Dorset Business Awards Gala Dinner which will be held in the Concert Hall at the Lighthouse, on Thursday 9th December. The BBCs Royal & Diplomatic correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, will be hosting this year’s Dorset Business Awards.

Peter Scott, Chief Executive of Dorset Chamber of Commerce and Industry, commented on the awards “The quality of entries this year has been outstanding, and the judging panels for each award category have a difficult task on their hands in order to select which entrants to put forward for the shortlist.”

C4L is an Internet Infrastructure provider and deploys a full range of services from these data centres including colocation, IP Transit, Interconnects, Data Backup, Data Storage, Virtualisation, Disaster Recovery and Leased Lines, to name just a few. These are all provided with C4Ls commitment to maximum uptime and customer support featuring a 24/7 NOC which is manned by trained professionals.

Do You have an Escape Plan for Your Business Phone System?

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) January 20, 2011

Vintalk, Vinculum Communications Inc., a global provider of wholesale, business and consumer IP communication services, fully launches its Disaster Recover product after 3 months of successful beta testing.

Vintalk Disaster Recovery product is a remote backup phone system for your business that is an instant, automatic failover. Acting as a standby virtual Private Branch eXchange (PBX), it can mirror your primary phone system and take over if your high speed internet circuit or on-site PBX fails. Not having access to your phone system means you can’t communicate with clients, suppliers or employees. This can potentially cost businesses hundreds to thousands of dollars every minute the phone system is down.

Vintalk Disaster Recovery is our opportunity to provide clients with automatic PBX failover when using our Vintalk Sip Trunking service. Should their PBX suddenly go RNA (Ring No Answer) or ATB (All Trunks Busy), a hosted virtual auto-attendant is triggered to mimic the original PBX auto attendant. Inbound calls are routed to virtual extensions permitting calls to be delivered via cell phones or voice mail messages delivered by email. The goal is to provide automatic failover so our clients customers never even know there is an outage. Kristy Thomas, COO for Vintalk.

Basex, Inc., a leading knowledge research firm, has estimated that a typical 500-person company would lose over $ 90,000 per day without phone system business continuation. A study from the Business Research Institute revealed that of all the recovery points necessary in the event of a disaster, (data loss, employee management, notifications, etc.) 65 percent of businesses surveyed said telecommunications was the weakest link.

“PBX backup is one of the most overlooked aspects of business continuity planning until its too late. Businesses go to great lengths to back up their data, co-locate their servers, and otherwise protect the vital parts of doing business, but forget that their PBX is a large part of what connects them with their customers. Now they have Vintalk Disaster Recovery to help cover that gap. Jayson Jones, VP of Vintalk Channel Sales.
