How crippling would it be to suddenly lose a portion or all of your organization's mission critical data- Accounting & Financial Data, Employee Information, Customer Databases, Inventory Data, Payroll Data, and so on?   What measures are you taking to not only create a successful backup copy of your data but to ensure that your backup is protected from being damaged or stolen?

While most traditional backup systems do a good job of archiving data, they do little to actually secure it.  A removable drive, CD or tape can easily be damaged, misplaced or stolen.  In addition, most organizations fail to incorporate the most important step- taking the data backup on the removable drive, CD or tape to an off-site location.  It is usually left somewhere at the facility where it is vulnerable to being destroyed along with the primary data sources contained in your IT infrastructure in the event of a disaster.

The Indiana Data Center Remote Backup service is engineered to ensure successful, secure backups and to eliminate the worry of broken tape drives or waiting for long backups to complete.  No more fumbling for lost media or hours wasted simply trying to recover a single lost file.

Yes, data backup is the core component of a sound disaster recovery plan, but it is only one piece of a larger puzzle.  Traditionally, disaster recovery has been concerned with protecting data and information systems with little or no attention paid to the people who use those systems.  Your business will have a difficult time rebounding if your key staff members do not have an alternate work site to immediately resume operation if displaced from their offices by a disaster or other event.  Without an appropriate worksite, how will your business receive client phone calls, process sales and purchases?  Where will your business perform these critical functions to ensure continuity of operations?

In the event of an interruption from your facility, Indiana Data Center has created a stream-lined process to relocate your critical staff to our worksite recovery center, recover your mission critical data and reinstate your network and business applications.  Our services provide your business the tools to resume operation in a matter of hours through a process that is virtually transparent to your customers.

Host your servers and IT infrastructure in an environment specifically engineered for optimal performance, redundancy, security and up-time.  In the event that your facility becomes inaccessible, experiences an extended loss of power, or worst case, is destroyed, you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that your equipment, applications and data are alive and well at Indiana Data Center.

If you plan to incorporate or are currently utilizing our colocation services, back up services, or both, consider a private point-to-point (P2P) network connection.  These private network P2P's provide high bandwidth, secure data links between an organization's geographic location and Indiana Data Center's colocation facility and remote backup storage area network (SAN).  Advantages of a private network P2P connection include:

• Improved security- the traffic between your organization and Indiana Data Center stays private.  It never touches the Internet or enters public domain.
• Free up your Internet bandwidth
  
• P2P private network connections are capable of bandwidth speeds from 1.5 Mbps (T-1) up to 20 Mbps over a microwave connection and 100 Mbps + over our fiber network.

Take advantage of Northeast Indiana's largest microwave network.  If your organization is located in Fort Wayne, IN, ask us about fiber connectivity.

It's not overly difficult to recognize how the loss of major items due to an interruption or disaster can affect your organization's continuity of operation, but what about an extended loss of your Internet connection.  How dependant is your organization's communication on having an Internet connection?  In the event of a failure in your Primary Internet connection, our microwave service provides an alternate means of connectivity through a network that is truly diverse from all the other Internet service providers.
