New Free Server Downtime Calculator for iPhone and Android, from Storagepipe Solutions

(PRWEB) November 15, 2010

In response to the overwhelming success of their web-based Downtime Cost Calculator, Storagepipe has also published 2 new versions of their Downtime Cost Calculator app for both Android and iPhone/iPod Touch platforms.

The online version of the Downtime Cost Calculator (http://downtimecost.com) was released a few months ago, and it quickly gained a lot of attention within the media and blogosphere. As a result of this publicity, Storagepipe (http://storagepipe.com ) noticed that there was a demand for a more portable offline version of this application that could be installed on mobile computing devices and smart phones.

According to Steven Rodin, company president Disaster recovery simulation is absolutely crucial for the survival of companies in todays business environment. Theres really no point in backing up your data if you cant be absolutely certain that youll recover quickly in the event of an emergency. Its better to fail in a simulated test where you can correct mistakes, than to fail in real life and lose everything.

Storagepipe recommends that their customers test their datacenter emergency recovery process at least once per year. Because IT systems are constantly changing, any new unforeseen challenges can be identified and resolved during these tests.

These new portable offline downtime simulators allows IT workers to evaluate the cost of unexpected server failure at any time or place, regardless of internet connectivity. And the app is always quickly available at the push of a button, so theres no need to search for it online.

Storagepipe Solutions has been a leading provider of cloud-based data protection solutions for nearly 10 years, and has firmly established itself as the leading online data protection company in Canada. Within recent years, their solutions portfolio has rapidly expanded with a variety of services that include:

Web Hosting Company AIT Offers Free Hosting to Businesses Experiencing Downtime from Hurricane Sandy

Fayetteville, NC (PRWEB) October 29, 2012

Advanced Internet Technologies, a Fayetteville, NC based domain registrar and web hosting company, has secured its US East Coast data center facilities in preparation for Hurricane Sandy. Hurricane Sandy has spent the last weekend off the coast of North Carolina and is expected to make landfall in the Northeastern United States late Monday. AIT will also offer a free month of hosting for any companies who experience downtime or data loss with any other hosting company due to Hurricane Sandy.

Throughout the last week, many companies along the east coach have been preparing for Hurricane Sandy. Since its inception in 1996, AIT has been located in Fayetteville, North Carolina, located just over an hour from the coast. When AIT was founded, disaster recovery and hurricane preparedness were a key component of its business plan. “We knew that we would be hit by a hurricane or other nature disaster at some point, and through our strategic planning, led by prior members of the US Army, and Marines; we knew AIT would only be successful if we could withstand a large, Category 4 or 5 Hurricane and still be able to provide service to our customers.” said AIT’s CEO Clarence Briggs. He continued, “AIT started with its first generator backup device in 1997, along with uninterruptable power supply units (UPS) to provide power between the time that commercial power is terminated, and the backup generator can start automatically. This was put to test in 1999 with Hurricane Floyd. This Category 4 monster ripped through North Carolina, taking out power stations, and causing massive flooding in the Piedmont area. However, due to the planning and preparation of AITs facilities and technical staff, there was no downtime for any AIT customer.”

Disaster Recovery is an important aspect of any business plan, and unfortunately, many young companies do not even consider it until it is too late. According to a 2004 research study conducted by DTI/Price Waterhouse, 70 percent of small firms that experience a major data loss go out of business within a year. AIT is offering any business that experiences downtime with their host due to Hurricane Sandy a free month of web hosting. In order to take advantage of this special offer, simply contact an AIT sales rep at 1-800-878-4084 or visit their website at AIT.com

AIT is a 16 year-old NC based technology company, a two time Inc 500 winner, and offers domain registration, dedicated servers, web hosting, value-added reseller hosting plans, and marketing services to companies around the globe. AIT currently manages hundreds of thousands of domain names and thousands of dedicated server customers located throughout the globe. Since 1999, AIT has encountered an average of 1 to 2 hurricanes per year passing through the area and has experienced no downtime due to those storms.
