Server Recovered in only 40 Minutes

Insight Information Technology (or Insight IT for short) recently introduced a Backup and Disaster Recovery Service, specifically designed for business customers in the Vancouver Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.  Instead of simply Backing up data, we "mirror" the Operating System, Applications and Data.  The advantage is we can restore a Server very quickly, often times (depending on the amount of data) within minutes!  In fact during a regular scheduled test of the service with a customer in Richmond BC, our technician restored a production SQL server within 40 minutes. 

Most businesses already have a Data Backup system in place, however many firms find out too late just how long it takes to restore a Computer Network once a Server is suddenly unavailable.  Companies that have implemented ONLY a backup of data need to understand the amount of time it takes to replace a Server.

  • Purchase the Hardware
  • Install the Operations System
  • Install the Applications
  • Upload the Backed up data
  • Reconfigure the Server

This can often take several days.  Now compare that to 40 minutes!

You can also contact me directly.  I can answer your questions and go over all the options available to you, to ensure your Business Continuity Plan is in place.
