HowItWorks
Back up your applications and data using Storage Guardian – or any other hypervisor-ready platform. If disaster ever strikes, it’s easy to recover your data onto standby machines in our data center.
In a disaster, simply call or text our Fast Failover hotline and enter a secret PIN that we arrange with you in advance.
Our automated service recovers your apps and data onto secure servers in our data center.
The Fast Failover system then sends your staff VPN links to access these servers until your own network is back online.
Why Fast Failover?
Imagine that your network is flooded or destroyed. You need to quickly recover your apps and data onto new hardware, and give your staff an easy way to connect to them. An engineer would need to spend a long time configuring the servers, restoring the applications and data, and distributing VPN connections to your employees. With Fast Failover, the whole recovery workflow is automated, fast and efficient.
