Online Tech Launches Cost Effective SAN Disaster Recovery Hosting

Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) June 23, 2009

In conjunction with upcoming Dell seminars at its data centers, Online Tech, Michigan’s largest managed data center operator, has launched a SAN Disaster Recovery Package — Online Tech will host a secondary SAN at its secure SAS70 certified data centers, including Internet connectivity, for only $ 399 per month.

At the EqualLogic seminar this week (June 25th), Dell will demonstrate SAN-to-SAN replication between two Online Tech data centers. The EqualLogic SANs were set up in less than one hour with the primary SAN replicating data, snapshots, and restoration points to the secondary SAN for disaster recovery at a separate data center.

“Other SAN solutions we tested took a high level of expertise and days to configure the cross data center replication” said Jason Yaeger, Online Tech’s Operations Manager. “We were stunned at how quickly we could set up cross data center SAN-to-SAN replication with Dell’s EqualLogic product.”

SAN-to-tape backup is quickly giving way to offsite SAN replication, driven by three main factors: lower costs of disk storage, cheaper Internet connectivity costs, and easier to use SAN solutions.

Compared to daily SAN-to-tape backups that are “sent” offsite, offsite SAN-to-SAN replication provides the peace of mind that the SAN data is “continuously” replicated. The data can be

restored at any time without the delay involved in retrieving tapes from an offsite storage or the risk that the data may not be recovered from a bad tape.

The SAN hosting package starts at $ 399 per month and includes everything needed to host a Dell EqualLogic SAN at Online Tech’s secure, SAS 70 audited data centers, including:

SAN colocation in a secure, locked rack including redundant power
SAS 70 certified data center assuring physical and network security
5 Mbps Internet bandwidth for up to 50GB SAN-to-SAN transfer per day
Secure VPN network connection into the SAN

Global IT Failure Could Cost More than Kobe Quake, FIRST Experts Warned

Kyoto, Japan (PRWEB) July 2, 2009

The collapse of a single computer system could trigger a catastrophe on the world information network more devastating in its economic consequences than the Kobe Earthquake, a senior executive of the West Japan Railway Company warned today at the 21st annual conference of FIRST, the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams.

Mr Takayuki Sasaki, Vice Chairman and Representative Director of JR West, JP, was delivering the keynote speech to delegates at the Granvia Hotel, Kyoto.

Addressing the conference theme – “Aftermath: the Crafts and Lessons of Incident Recovery” – Mr Sasaki described how JR West restored its services following the earthquake in 1995, which inflicted 100-trillion Yen (US$ 1-trillion) of damage, and said: “During the post-quake period we have witnessed great progress in the IT industry. As a result, we now face a new challenge of globalization. When a computer system in a certain place fails because of a natural disaster or a virus, the damage may develop into a global issue and generate a bigger loss than that of the great Hanshin Awaji [Kobe] Earthquake.”

The exposure of information networks to catastrophe was highlighted in a speech to the conference by Peter Allor, program manager for cyber incident and vulnerability handling at IBM, who is a FIRST steering committee member and the Forum’s conference liaison.

Declaring that “we’re in a world of information warfare, and it’s time to start thinking differently about security,” he said: “Hackers are no longer blasting out far-reaching worms. They are quietly targeting government, financial and communications networks, as well as the backend networks that control our power, oil, gas, manufacturing, water and transportation systems.”

At a time when organisations were dispersing their operations locally, nationally and internationally, and linking them all together with IT networks, “the entire grid needs security enforcement at multiple points.”

He continued: “Your headquarters may be secure as a fort, but if somewhere out there you’ve got a remote location with a weak lock, and inside it a PC with a password taped to its side – and this happens – then the whole organisational network can be compromised, corrupted, held to ransom or destroyed.”

Just how attractive a target information networks are to cyber criminals and vandals – particularly when associated with high profile organisations or events – was demonstrated in a presentation by Yonglin Zhou, from the computer emergency response team coordination centre (CNCERT/CC) of the People’s Republic of China.

He reported on his and other IT security teams’ protection of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, where 10,000 computers were deployed between 66 venues, many wirelessly connected.

The number of computers in China infected with Trojan viruses – which enable remote control by criminals without the owners’ knowledge – rose from 35,000 in April 2008 to 67,000 in May and to a peak of 160,000 in June.

“All the indications suggested that criminals were planning a major attack,” he said. Security counter measures brought the number infected down to 33,000 before the games started in August, and prevented any attacks at all from succeeding.

Takayuki Sasaki, who was Finance Director of JR West at the time of the Kobe earthquake and experienced the disaster first hand, described FIRST’s task as “the very important issue of large scale earthquake prevention in the global information and telecommunication network,” and praised members for their “remarkable endeavor and initiative.”

He told his audience that before the Kobe catastrophe struck “there was a kind of optimistic view in Japan. People were saying we would be okay if there was an earthquake. Later that optimism was proven to be groundless.”

In the event more than 6,000 people died as 250,000 houses and other buildings were destroyed, and 460,000 households were affected. Critical infrastructure was ruined, and damage knocked out 70 per cent of railway services, wrecking bridges, stations and rails. The cost to JR West alone was 100-billion Yen (US$ 1-billion).

But in a remarkable turnaround, 80 per cent of services were restored within a month, an achievement Mr Sasaki attributed to teamwork, team-spirit, and rapid decision-making, rapidly executed.

He said the crucial lessons learned, which could be applied before other disasters, were three: early risk detection and mitigation, identifying and reinforcing weak points, and preparing backup facilities – “proactive measures to secure an alternative control centre are indispensable.”

Special podcasts recorded by Mr Sasaki and other speakers at the FIRST conference, some in Japanese and English, can be heard at http://www.first.org/conference/2009/podcasts/

Nearly 400 delegates from 52 countries – the highest number ever – are attending this year’s FIRST conference. That includes 93 from Japan and 16 from the People’s Republic of China – the most to date from each country – as well as 66 from the USA, 18 from Germany and 17 from the United Kingdom.

Founded in 1990, FIRST consists of internet emergency response teams from more than 200 corporations, government bodies, universities and other institutions from the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania. It leads the world’s fight-back against cyber-crime, sabotage and terrorism, and promotes co-operation between response teams and law enforcement agencies.

Global IT Failure Could Cost More than Kobe Quake, FIRST Experts Warned

Consonus Customer Leaves for Cost, Returns to Remote Backup Service for Technical Support

Cary, NC (Vocus) July 29, 2010

Consonus and channel partner BlueTech IT Solutions will once again provide St. Stephens Episcopal Day School, a private elementary school located in the Coconut Grove area of Miami, with Consonus Remote Backup Service (Consonus RBS), a fully-automated cloud backup solution that is backed by award-winning technical support.

The former Consonus/BlueTech IT customer left for a well-known, inexpensive provider. After less than two months, the provider was unable to successfully back up St. Stephens data. Incomplete backup attempts and poor customer service were the leading factors prompting St. Stephens to return to Consonus and BlueTech IT.

Despite six weeks of efforts, the low-cost provider was never able to successfully back up our 150G of data. We were thrilled to learn that Consonus still had our original data and that we were able to pick up where we left off, said St. Stephens Director of Technology Felix Jacomino. The expertise offered by BlueTech and Consonus is second to none. The team really bailed us out.

Consonus has consistently received praise from customers and channel partners for superior technical support. Consonus staff is among the most highly-credentialed and well-trained in the industry. With team members who average more than 15 years of industry experience, Consonus skilled engineers bring additional value to all IT solutions offered to significantly reduce downtime, boost productivity, and maximize the IT investment.

Often, a low-price provider can cost a company far more than they anticipated saving, said Consonus President Bob McCarthy. When evaluating cost, there are four critical factors to consider: security, resiliency, compliance, and support. If there is a breakdown in any of these key quality points, the cost to the client can be intensive.

Consonus RBS is a unique alternative to traditional data backup recovery methods, replacing conventional solutions with a fully automated online data backup solution. It provides an automatic backup of heterogeneous file servers as well as application and database servers with encrypted, secure offsite data storage and rapid online restoration. Powered by Asigra, the first and only cloud software provider to achieve FIPS 140-2 Certification the highest level of security assurance to date Consonus RBS also offers multi-level security authentication, agentless support for the broadest variety of platforms including Windows, UNIX, AS/400, and Apple, and hot backups for all leading databases and applications.

Backup My Info!"s Data Retention Strategy Helps SMBs Realize Quicker Restores and Increased Cost Savings

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 27, 2010

Backup My Info! (BUMI), the premier provider of managed online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses, today announced that its data retention strategy is helping SMBs realize quicker restores and significant cost savings. BUMI has recognized that as much as 90 percent of a typical organization’s data is no longer active, while the remaining 10 percent is dynamic and thus considered business-critical. While all data is important, organizations need a streamlined approach to getting their critical data back as soon as possible. By focusing on the changing data first, the business can get back up and running faster. The remaining 90 percent can be restored in a phased approach.

Prior to the start of any customer engagement, BUMI works with clients to develop a data retention strategy that will immediately restore the highest priority data. The critical changing data, or 10 percent, is backed up to BUMI’s online vault as well as in a local location on the clients’ network – and can be restored quickly. Data that has not changed for a long period of time, or data that does not require immediate recovery, is kept on the BUMI retention vaults utilizing lower cost storage. If a large amount of data needs to be restored, BUMI will ship this data overnight in encrypted and compressed format on a USB hard drive which can then be restored rapidly at no charge to the client. As a standard practice, a BUMI engineer will be remotely connected to assist in all recovery procedures and they are available 24 hours a day for emergency support.

“Explosive data growth is driving SMBs toward cloud-based data backup services,” said Deni Connor, principal analyst at Storage Strategies NOW. “Without a strategic backup and restore plan in place, data infrastructures can be impacted by all types of data loss scenarios. To that effect, organizations should take a closer look at their IT operations, and like BUMI’s ’10 percent’ findings, identify the business-critical components to ensure they are in the best position for a speedy recovery.”

Supporting all major operating systems, BUMI provides an automated off-site data backup and recovery service. With data protection and reliability a prime concern for all organizations, BUMI has built several layers of security into its online backup solution. Data is encrypted at the point it leaves a customer site and remains encrypted at all times. Additionally, BUMI’s senior engineers continuously monitor backup processes to ensure customer data is properly safeguarded and proactively follow up if they identify any errors or problems. From a disaster recovery and business continuity perspective, all off-site backups are stored in SAS70 Type II data centers located in Canada.

“By providing our customers with a customized recovery strategy on top of solid, secure backups, BUMI is able to satisfy clients’ objectives,” explained Jennifer Walzer, CEO at Backup My Info!, Inc. “These objectives include the management of exponential growth in companies’ critical data, as well as reduce the backup window which can be crucial for businesses that need 24 hour uptime.”

About Backup My Info!

Founded in 2002, Backup My Info! (BUMI) specializes in delivering online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses. Based in New York City, BUMI provides an off-site data protection solution that addresses critical issues such as rapid growth of data, business continuity, and regulatory compliance.

Backup My Info!"s Data Retention Strategy Helps SMBs Realize Quicker Restores and Increased Cost Savings

Backup My Info! Enhances Premium Service Offerings with "Plug-and-Play" Storage Devices for Emergency Data Restores at No Cost

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 30, 2010

Backup My Info! (BUMI), the premier provider of managed online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses, today announced a service offering aimed at making it easy for customers to restore their data after a catastrophic system failure. BUMI offers “plug-and-play” storage devices loaded with clients’ encrypted data that can be shipped overnight in order to accelerate the process of restoring. This service, available at no additional cost, can be utilized when an Internet connection is not available or the physical server or location is no longer available.

During a typical data restore, BUMI engineers guide clients through the process which includes retrieving the encrypted data from its data center in Canada through BUMI’s software application. If a large amount of data needs to be immediately restored, BUMI can ship this data overnight in an encrypted and compressed format on a USB storage device which can then be restored rapidly at no charge to the client. Many competitors charge a very large fee for similar offerings. Once the data is shipped to the customer site, BUMI senior engineers remotely connect to assist with recovery procedures.

“During an emergency restore where systems are down and – in certain cases – technology infrastructure may be lost or damaged, the last thing you need to worry about is data loss and business continuity issues,” explained Jennifer Walzer, CEO at Backup My Info!, Inc. “Our all-inclusive service, which consists of shipping a pre-loaded, encrypted storage device to the customer, is part of our mantra to deliver the best service and support – especially after a major system failure or outage.”

“Data backup is essential for any organization – however, restorability provides a true barometer for success,” explained David A. Chapa, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, Inc. “It is imperative organizations evaluate their providers ensuring they offer a complete and proven strategy for data restores – not just backup.”

With data protection and reliability a prime concern for all organizations, BUMI has built several layers of security into its online backup solution. Data is encrypted before it leaves a customer site and remains encrypted at all times. Additionally, BUMI’s senior engineers continuously monitor backup processes to ensure customer data is properly safeguarded and proactively follow up if they identify any errors or problems. From a disaster recovery and business continuity perspective, all off-site backups are stored in SAS70 Type II data centers located in Canada.

First-ever ANT single chip solution combines cost, power and size efficiencies with ecosystem of proven devices

Cochrane, Alberta (PRWEB) June 28, 2012

ANT Wireless (“ANT” http://www.thisisant.com), a division of Dynastream Innovations Inc., today announces the first-ever ANT SoC (system on a chip); successor to Nordics ANT nRF24AP2 family, the Nordic nRF51422. Designed specifically to optimize ultra low power network solutions such as sport, fitness and health monitoring devices, this new single chip solution is also backward compatible with millions of existing ANT and ANT+ products. The ANT SoC lowers system development costs with further ease of integration and savings in power and BOM costs than the already-proven Nordic ANT products.

The latest part in the ANT family from Nordic will enable the long standing goal of single chip RF sensor devices, which is a huge milestone, stated Rod Morris, Vice President, Dynastream. Theres nothing like it in the market and ANT presents a distinct advantage with proven ANT+ profiles and immediate connection to the great variety of available ANT+ devices.

With the increase in user acceptance in our everyday lives, complex and intertwined applications of wireless sensors and networks are being defined. These use cases often require secure individual and conference modes of communication with sensors, a function easily supported by ANT+ but not by other star-only network technologies. Certain examples include coaching applications, individual medical data sharing to multiple displays, point of purchase, one-to-many broadcast modes, etc.

ANT entered the ULP wireless sector in 2005 and has continually led in lowest power, complex functionality and reliable interoperability through ANT+, becoming the defacto standard for digital wireless sport and fitness PAN networks.

Were proud of our long-standing relationship with ANT and the game-changing products we continually offer the industry, stated Geir Langeland, Director of Sales & Marketing, Nordic Semiconductor. Since partnering with ANT in 2005, weve virtually created the PAN market. Weve focused on the needs of the market and collaborated with ANT and leading brands to provide the right solutions at the right time.

Out of the box, the nrf51422 SoC can offer quick time to market for:

New RedLine Laser Profiling Accessory for ROVVER X Reduces Cost, Effort of Scanning Pipe Geometry.

Randolph, NJ (PRWEB) August 23, 2012

Attaching in seconds to the ROVVER X inspection crawler, the new RedLine laser accessory is all you need to geometrically profile the inside of buried pipelines. Captured profile data is readily analyzed to verify proper pipe installation, plan relining projects, determine remaining pipe life, monitor erosion/corrosion, quantify defects, and analyze partial collapses.

With the RedLine accessory for ROVVER X, inspection professionals can have a system that works seamlessly with ROVVER X and WinCan and be trained and supported by a single supplier, says Jake Wells, Marketing Manager at Envirosight. ROVVER X is revered as the one crawler system that can address any inspection challenge, so adding native laser ring profiling capability was an important piece of our development roadmap.

The RedLine accessory attaches without tools and requires no electrical connections. A hinged mounting system makes it easy to deploy in tight spaces, and twin carbon fiber arms ensure extra rigidity. The accessory profiles lines up to 18 diameter when mounted directly to the ROVVER X crawler. Larger lines are addressed by mounting the accessory to a skid that is pulled by the crawler.

Profile data from the RedLine can be transferred seamlessly to WinCan V8 inspection software, the laser module of which can trend diameter and deformation frame-by-frame to generate a solid model, ovality graph or color plot.

The RedLine accessory can be mounted to any ROVVER X pan/tilt/zoom camera. It operates up to 16 hours on a single AA battery.

About ROVVER X.

ROVVER X is the one pipe inspection system that lets an operator do everythingcontrol inspections, view and record digital video, log observations, generate reports, and link directly to asset-management software. All this capability is packed into a simple three-piece layout, with no CCU or other components to clutter the workspace.

Though remarkably self-contained, ROVVER X is built on an expandable digital backbone. Not only can an operator add side-scanning and laser profiling, he or she can view data from onboard sensors, automate tasks with macros, and measure defects onscreen. And future capabilities are limitlessROVVER Xs firmware updates automatically to the latest features, and its architecture is ready for any accessoryeven ones that dont yet exist.

Advanced technology aside, ROVVER X is built for the rigors of sewer inspection. Twelve wheel optionsplus camera lift, carriage and illumination accessoriesmean ROVVER X transforms in seconds to inspect lines six to 60 inches. Its six-wheel drive with proportional steering navigates past obstacles, and overlapping wheels climb offsets better than tracks. Powerful motors and a geared drive train maximize range and pivot capability, even with carriage and 10 knobby tires installed.

Ultimately, however, reliability and productivity have made ROVVER the number one crawler brand worldwide. ROVVER X continues this tradition with unsurpassed video resolution and 50% more illumination, leaving no detail hidden. Its powerful reel monitors cable tension optically to prevent slack and minimize resistance, allowing one-man operation. And self-diagnostic capabilities, plus access to operating history, only enhance the uptime of the one crawler that already leads the industry.
