Nanotek Consulting Corp. Announces Top Level Disaster Recovery Solutions

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) December 05, 2011

Nanotek Consulting Corp. is now providing first rate contingency planning that will enable businesses to consolidate resources, save man hours, reduce energy costs by eliminating extraneous hardware, and empower companies to have greater oversight in their technical issues.

Recently, one of their clients had servers that were approaching a critical state. Before they came to Nanotek, other IT firms had told them that they should virtualize and consolidate their data into a new server. The client, a highly trafficked web property, could not afford the eight hours or more of downtime that they were initially quoted to move to a new server. Nanotek, on the other hand, implemented a unique solution: a physical to virtual conversion on the live server. The task was completed and running before the meeting was even over – without any downtime.

At Nanotek we deploy a multi layered approach to your backup and Disaster Recovery Plan designed to meet all budgets and all contingencies, says Harsh Pabla, CTO of Nanotek. First and foremost, critical servers, files, and databases are backed up locally every hour throughout the day so that in the event of data loss, restore points are usually no more than an hour old.

Since being established 18 years ago in Toronto, Nanotek Consulting Corp. has positioned itself as a distinctive choice amongst IT consulting firms that focus on disaster recovery services. The IT consulting firm continues to garner a reputation for superior customer service by consistently making their customers feel at ease, regardless of their technical knowledge.

As an IT consulting firm, Nanotek provides value to its customers by offering a range of services that include: cloud computing, off-site data protection, network security analysis, and disaster recovery management, amongst other things. The company has leveraged its expertise and team of professionals to provide solutions to problems that competing firms qualified as intractable.

Nanoteks ability to control and implement solutions to critical IT problems was put to the test at another time when approached by a local real estate association. The client was having their roof repaired, but an unfinished job left open areas where rain leaked in and onto their servers, cables and routers. Nanotek quickly assessed the situation, isolated damaged areas, and replaced equipment within a just few hours.

Knowledge is important in this industry but combined with a dynamic, mobile team, strong vendor partnerships, and the commitment to deliver top level solutions, you become an unequalled end-to-end solution provider, says Pabla. This holistic approach to servicing their customers is what has made Nanotek an unparalleled leader and a trusted source of technical knowledge.

For any business the margins can be thin, so the need to operate in a financially efficient manner is imperative to their survival. One of the major competitive advantages that Nanotek brings to their clients is the ability to cut ineffective spending. Reducing energy consumption by consolidating servers and using cloud computing as a replacement to expensive hardware are just two of the ways they save their clients money. Regardless of the cost associated with updating aging infrastructure, it is unquestionably less than losing business and valuable corporate information as a result of a crashed server.

London (PRWEB UK) 30 April 2012

The service works at any stage of a Cloud strategy by applying a simple yet entirely business-focussed methodology to correct elements which are not working as desired for the business.

Cloudremedy aims to use a clients chosen or existing hardware and software assets. If there is no hardware, software or software subscription in place, Cloudremedy focuses on finding the most suitable technologies which can fit with the business and budget requirements without vendor bias. Cloudremedy differs from other solution providers services as it does not require clients to purchase equipment or software through Be Specific Consulting or commit to a long term contracts. Be Specific Consulting will work with solutions in almost any location.

Cloudremedy helps our customers accelerate their Cloud Computing initiatives in a clear and flexible way that suits how they work. Our experts assess and provide a remedy to Cloud-related issues, however large or small. Tim Boeckmann, Managing Director, Be Specific Consulting.

When correctly implemented, Cloud Computing and virtualization brings a long list of benefits to any company including simplified administration, more efficient server usage, easily scalable or portable IT environments, better return on investment, faster implementation of applications and services which are easier recovery following disasters.

Types of Cloud can be a Private Cloud environment where a company owns the hardware upon which their Cloud runs, a Public Cloud environment where the company purchases resources on an annual, monthly or per minute basis from another provider or a Hybrid Cloud which is a combination of Public and Private. Hybrid clouds tend to be used for additional redundancy by running backup systems in a separate location, to cater for changing IT resource requirements or to secure some company data inside the organization whilst allowing other elements to be managed by a specialist service provider. Cloudremedy services can assist with Public, Private and Hybrid Cloud infrastructures.

Regardless of the Cloud solution a company uses, moving from traditional computing environments has its challenges. Ensuring systems avoid outages and performance degradation is the first step, but on-going management of security, compliance, licensing, capacity planning and data are also important for the longevity of corporate systems.

The Be Specific Consulting team has worked with Cloud computing infrastructures since 2005. The long list of requirements, technologies and vendor hardware types that have been successfully implemented over the years place the company in a position to remain entirely objective about solution components. The consultants understand that not all clients have the same requirements when it comes to hardware, software and how they use the Cloud.

The methodology involves a fast but efficient assessment of the current position prior to recommendations being made. Following the Assess stage, a plan is put together detailing all the elements of a solution to the issues at hand. Next, the Build stage implements the Plan before moving on to the Manage stage. At any point, the stages can be passed to the client with all technical information so that they may take the reins if they choose to do so. Alternatively, Be Specific Consulting offers full management of a solution.

In addition to working on many types of Cloud solutions, Be Specific runs the Bureaucloud
