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.

KDSA Offers New Data Center Model For Hosted Services

North Andover, Mass. (PRWEB) October 1, 2009

KDSA Data Center Services, LLC (http://www.kdsadatacenter.com) has announced that it now offers vaulted internet backup, co-location and application hosting services at multiple Tier 1 data centers in Massachusetts. As a result, KDSA can provide security, reliability and redundancy for mission-critical applications, such as email, and data to customers in a wide range of industries.

While other companies offer co-location services, KDSA’s model is unique in the industry. KDSA will help support and manage your co-located equipment. Additionally, many data centers will generally not lease less than half a cabinet to a company, which makes the cost of using the center cost-prohibitive to smaller companies. Conversely, KDSA will allow companies to lease only the space they need – as little as the space to accommodate a single server. Economically, this puts the co-location concept well within reach of most small and mid-sized companies.

The concept of utilizing an off-site data center is not a new one. For a single monthly fee, customers get a well-protected, redundant location for critical servers and applications with minimal downtime. KDSA’s hosted option, however, takes the data center concept one important step further. In fact, according to Dawn Mortimer, principal and co-founder of KDSA Data Center Services, LLC, the creation of the new data center hosting services was a natural outgrowth of the traditional co-located center.

“We saw a need in smaller to mid-size companies that couldn’t afford their own equipment and that really needed the benefits associated with being located in a data center, specifically high availability and redundancy,” said Mortimer, who also serves as principal of KDSA Consulting, LLC (http://www.kdsaconsulting.com).

KDSA is offering a “soup-to-nuts” solution. The company not only provides the necessary space, but all the bandwidth, power, networking, servers, and storage equipment. In doing so, KDSA can save companies the capital expense of building and outfitting their own on-site server rooms. Ultimately, the new, highly scalable center is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses, for which the cost of building and maintaining their own server room or replacing aging equipment would be prohibitive.

“The connection between the hosted equipment and customer’s own on-site equipment is seamless,” said Mortimer. “Essentially, we are maintaining each customer’s existing network over a long cable. It’s a fully integrated, auditable solution that allows our customers to stretch out their on-site services. And we can maintain all compliance and security protocols.”

The center will prove especially attractive to companies with multiple sites, those that centrally store all of their equipment and confidential information in a single corporate facility; for these companies, a disaster at the corporate facility might cause disruption of IT services at all of the company’s remote sites. In fact, diesel generators at the data center begin operating in the event of a service interruption. As a result of this and other preventive measures, KDSA boasts a service uptime of over 99%.

Combined with KDSA’s disaster recovery capabilities, mission-critical data and applications can be effectively protected, ensuring business continuity. What’s more, clients can opt for a variety of additional managed services, including online backup, e-mail archiving, spam filtering, firewall management, and disaster recovery.

Simply Continuous Adds Cannell Capital, Nanometrics and Scout Labs to Rapidly Expanding Customer Roster for Managed Services

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 20, 2009

Simply Continuous, a recovery service provider (RSP) for mid-size enterprises, today announced Cannell Capital, Nanometrics (Nasdaq: NANO) and Scout Labs have joined the growing list of customers subscribing to its Data Recovery Vault and AppAlive managed services. Simply Continuous’ managed services provide companies possessing 1 TB or more of data with secure and cost-effective recovery of critical business information in the event of unplanned outages. Its services are backed by the industry’s only service-level guarantee for reliable data recovery.

With higher performance and lower cost than tape-based solutions, as well as the increased availability and visibility critical for compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Simply Continuous’ services are finding favor among companies in industries as diverse as finance, manufacturing and Web-based services, among others.

“Our customers are validating the need for a managed data recovery service that can keep pace with rapidly growing data, while making it easy and cost-effective to restore data and applications, when needed,” said Tom Frangione, Simply Continuous co-founder and CEO. “Our patent-pending Universal Recovery Platform is the first in the industry to monitor and enforce customer recovery SLAs. “

Cannell Capital Replaces Tape; Recovers Data 10X Faster

Cannell Capital, a hedge fund with affiliated offices in Jackson, Wyoming and San Francisco, selected Simply Continuous’ Data Recovery Vault after searching for a “smarter way” to protect its fund’s precious data. Cannell Capital’s IT advisor, Tim Albertson of Great Divide IT Consulting, said the company is now able to recover 10 times faster than it could previously with tape-based backup.

Since Cannell’s affiliated office is located in the heart of the San Francisco earthquake zone and he works remotely in Cannell’s main office in Jackson, WY, Albertson was especially drawn to storing data off-site at the Simply Continuous secure datacenter in Scottsdale, AZ, as well as the ability to recover this data without requiring his physical presence in Cannell’s primary datacenter. “There are so many companies relying on tape backup when they don’t have to,” said Albertson. “If their IT departments aren’t looking for ways to better protect against outages, then they aren’t staying on top of things. There’s compelling technology like deduplication out there and it can be accessed through a cost-effective service like Data Recovery Vault. Companies need to embrace it.”

Scout Labs Chooses Simply Continuous’ Recovery SLA over Amazon S3

Scout Labs, a social media monitoring and analysis platform, concurs that it is critical to simultaneously deal with growing storage costs and the ability to quickly recover their data. Steve Green, director of operations at Scout Labs, initially looked into Amazon S3 services and discovered that “throughput was an issue.” Green says it would have taken over a month to recover the company’s data.

“I especially liked the fact that Simply Continuous worked with enterprise-class technology leaders like Data Domain. And the fact that I didn’t have to change my backup software or processes made installation much easier,” Green said. When comparing Simply Continuous with Amazon S3 he added, “We could upload our data to the Amazon cloud but there was no guarantee that we would get it back. With Data Recovery Vault’s recovery SLA, Simply Continuous was the obvious choice.”

Nanometrics realizes 20% savings using Simply Continuous

Nanometrics Incorporated, a manufacturer of process control metrology systems used in semiconductor manufacturing, was especially attracted to Simply Continuous services to replace tape, reduce costs and minimize administration. “With the economic downturn, my department is asked to do more with less. Finding a recovery service provider to take this program off my plate as well as reduce my overhead costs related to backup and recovery was a high priority,” said Dave Kizer, Nanometrics’ director of information technology. “With Simply Continuous, I was able to redeploy 1-1/2 staffers to other critical projects and reduce overall costs by 20 percent.”

Significantly, Simply Continuous guaranteed that Nanometrics’ financial data was protected and recoverable to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley regulations. “The Data Recovery Vault service makes it easy to demonstrate to auditors that our financial data is protected and recoverable. I know my data is safe in a SAS-70 datacenter and I can log into Simply Continuous’ portal to verify that all my data is replicated off-site and ready to be recovered whenever I need it,” Kizer explained.

The Simply Continuous services automatically replicates data and virtualized application images. Simply Continuous monitors the service across 1,300 points in the infrastructure so customer data is ready to be recovered at all times. Customers can access real-time status of their service, browse the actual data sets, as well as log and monitor issues through the Simply Continuous online portal. The data can be recovered in four different, independent modes, ensuring recovery of the data at any time.

AppAlive enables companies to protect and recover their business-critical applications in an easy-to-deploy and cost-effective way. It captures current images of applications, securely stores them and provides companies with a hosted recovery environment for their virtualized applications.

About Simply Continuous

Simply Continuous, provider of enterprise-class managed services, enables businesses to recover data and applications during unplanned outages and disasters. Founded on the belief that recovery should be simple and cost-effective for enterprises of all sizes, Simply Continuous’ SaaS architecture uniquely delivers on this promise. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Simply Continuous is backed by Greylock Partners and can be found on the web at http://www.simplycontinuous.net.

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:

DataBank, a Leading National Provider of Document Conversion Services, Stresses Importance of Data Privacy Day 2010

Beltsville, MD (PRWEB) January 28, 2010

Requiring a high standard of security and compliance when outsourcing document conversion services or scanning of paper files and data indexing normally associated with a document management solution, should be part of any organization’s data privacy plan. Protection against personal identity theft and unauthorized disclosure of confidential information should be a critical part of any outsourcing decision.

As the country celebrates Data Privacy Day they must not only consider digital data residing within their computer infrastructure; but must also protect the information currently in paper form or scanned digital images in document management , ERP, financial, HR and line-of-business systems that are part of their organizational processes every day.

When selecting an outsourcing vendor for scanning paper documents, engineering drawings, medical records, educational information, employment records, financial information, and government vital records, there are several important things to look for during the evaluation of vendors you might do business with:

SAS70 Type II Certification for Document Conversion Services – Policies and procedures audited by an independent third party firm to assure compliance and track chain of custody from the time documents are received or picked up at a client location until images and data are returned.

PCI DSS Certification – Protection against personal identity theft when documents contain financial information that could be abused if it falls into the hands of dishonest people or computers are hacked.

Employee Background Investigations – credit checks and CORI checks on all employees before hiring.

Employee and Visitor Confidentiality Agreements – Requirements of vendor certification as well as written confirmation of security requirements and policies for information and data prior to allowing anyone into a service provider’s faculty.

Building Access and Security – 24X7 Security by an experienced and qualified agency, and tight access controls through multiple levels of personnel identification before entrance to the facility is granted.

Employee Training on Security and Confidentiality of Client Documents – It is no longer acceptable to say you will protect customer information; you must document how you are going to do it plus educate and monitor employee compliance.

Software-as-a-Service – If you are considering an outsourced hosted solution with information access over the Web, you must be assured of an effective encryption, redundant back-up, and have a documented disaster recovery plan.

Dick Aschman, CEO, of DataBank noted; “Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of client documents and data is a very important aspect of our business in these challenging times. The investments we have made in business processes, protecting our infrastructure, screening our personnel, and obtaining independent audit certifications are focused on providing industry leading levels of security for document conversion services and data management at all of our full-service facilities throughout the nation.”

Chuck Bauer, president and COO, said; “We are pleased to see the emphasis being placed on privacy and security in our industry. Events such as Data Privacy Day bring much needed attention to how people protect their information still on paper and while at a vendor facility for conversion to digital imaging. The government and major corporate clients we serve select DataBank because of our quality and our security and compliance infrastructure.”

This approach leverages the best-in-breed technology to render maximum results with minimum of effort, expense, or waste for all their customers.

Alarm.com Announces Location-Based Services

Vienna, VA (PRWEB) March 27, 2012

Alarm.com, the industry leading technology provider of interactive security solutions, today announced that it will be integrating location-based services into its security and automation platform. By allowing users to opt-in and incorporate their mobile phone location as an additional input for system rules and notifications, Alarm.com will enable more intelligent whole home automation and the most relevant real-time system activity alerts.

Alarm.coms initial set of Geo-Services will include a location-based version of the companys popular Arming Reminders feature, allowing users to receive an alert if they leave their home geofence without remembering to arm the security system. Alarm.coms Geo-Services will be a user set option and also support applications where multiple mobile phones are used to trigger a rule. For example, when both Moms and Dads mobile phones are outside of the Home geofence on a weekday morning, a Geo-Services rule can be triggered to arm the security system, lower the thermostat and turn off all the lights. Users will also be able to define custom geofences around other significant locations like a second home, childs school, or workplace, enabling more sophisticated rules in the future that look at multiple phone locations relative to multiple geofences to decide whether to change system settings or trigger notifications.

We are very excited about the applications we can enable by layering location-based services into our security and automation platform, said Rebecca Davenport, Senior Product Manager at Alarm.com. By expanding our rules-based automation and notifications to look at location, in addition to other inputs like schedule and device status, we can offer our end user customers greater system flexibility, efficiency and overall value.

Alarm.com plans to launch its new Geo-Services with location-based Arming Reminders in spring 2012 and will continue to expand the platform with innovative new functionality moving forward.

Utropicmedia Now Offers Enterprise-Grade Server Colocation Services for Businesses, International Datacenters

Detroit, MI (PRWEB) June 21, 2010

Utropicmedia (http://utropicmedia.net), which specializes in web services and data distribution solutions, now offers enterprise server colocation services so that businesses with critical IT operations can save time and resources while improving their IT performance and value.

A business with 24/7 operations is highly dependent on its servers to provide consistent uptime, even if its core business is not IT-related. Yet the cost of a dedicated server in terms of investment in capital equipment and staffing expenses can be daunting. Cutting corners by using the less expensive option of shared hosting is not viable for a number of reasons, most importantly the lack of security and reliability.

With server colocation, Utropicmedia offers another alternative that provides the high levels of security and reliability that small businesses need, yet eliminates the cost of purchasing expensive server hardware and software, as well as hiring, training and maintaining an in-house staff of IT professionals.

Businesses get the performance benefits of on-site equipment without the expense, and also receive the savings and reliability of having a professional IT facility maintain and monitor the equipment.

To guarantee that level of reliability, the potential for natural disasters like floods, hurricanes and earthquakes must be taken into consideration. Their impact on server performance is a real concern for small businesses.

But since the main global colocation datacenter for Utropicmedia is in Detroit Michigan an area that is geographically stable and not prone to natural disasters the risk is significantly reduced. The only provider that supplies access to additional datacenters in more than 50 countries assures redundancy in addition to the Michigan Colocation hub.

Some of the systems that Utropicmedia uses to ensure reliability, for example, are multiple premium backbone providers via proactive BGP4, a CicsoTM,-powered redundant core network, facility UPS with DC power plant, backup generator with priority fuel contract and redundant HVAC. Security features include 24
