An important part of choosing your dedicated / collocated server is considering how you will back up the data on your new machine.
Even though we recommend and use the best hardware that is available for all our servers, disks can occasionally fail and in some cases the data on them may be lost.
We use high capacity DELL NAS Online Network Attached Storage units connected to Dell SCSI DLT4000 Tape drives to manage the backup procedure, we are also investing in high-performance SAN fibre-channel equipment to provide long-term online-archival facilities for business contingency planning.
Using NAS, DLT tapes and tape automation, virtual storage and SANs (storage area networks) we can provide a cost-effective service to manage the ever increasing quantities of data *amp; documents companies use today. Saving time, money and resources within the business as welll as providing a much-need backup copy in the event of a disaster.
