aNetworks aSentry™ Server Management Plan

For today’s small businesses, server equipment is the backbone your company’s network and is critical to supporting day-to-day operations. However, small businesses typically cannot afford to hire a full-time Information Technology (IT) staff or outside Information Technology (IT) consultants when server problems occur. Deciding on how to maintain, support and provide alternatives for data protection and disaster recovery for an existing server is one of the most important technology decisions your business can make.

aNetworks aSentry™ Backup and Disaster Protection

Imagine losing all your important files - everything from business files, to family photos, to your tax returns - permanently. Although many of us prefer to adhere to the mantra of "it'll never happen to me", the truth is, it could. And as computers continue to become the principle way in which many people conduct important transactions, this type of thinking is becoming increasingly risky. What's worse, the modern computer is ever more vulnerable to the imminent threats multiplying on the Internet - everything from adware, to spyware, to viruses.
 
For many companies, data stored on a computer is their most important asset. Without it, some businesses would fail to exist. This is why every business should perform daily backups of their critical data. With so many options available, a business owner may be unsure of where to start. Some methods of backup are more reliable than others, while others may be more convenient than some. In order to protect your business data, it is important to have a solution that is both reliable and convenient.
  • Frequent backups
  • Optional off-site data storage
  • Multiple restore points
  • Standby server capabilities
  • Advanced restoration options
  • Bare-metal restorations to dissimilar hardware
