ExclusiveNET Disaster Recovery
Aegisys
links our our clients to the redundant Aegisys
Data Centers to deliver secure and GO LIVE
capable Disaster Recovery solutions as if we are
in the next room. Aegisys offers 2 separate
services for our clients. The first is a Data
Vault
service which keeps your important files safe
and available from anywhere there is Internet
service. The second is our
Hot Site alternative which allows LIVE fail-over
to a Mirror server.
Not just a tape on a shelf ...
How many times have you had to go to your backups during a system failure feeling uneasy about whether the data is "really" restorable?? With IT departments spread thin, it is a very difficult task to stay on top of the day to day responsibilities of data backup and recovery.
Aegisys
threw its Software as a Service (SaaS) hat into
the online backup ring by utilizing its
ExclusiveNET protection network
as it's core for the delivery of Disaster
Recovery Services such as our Aegisys Hot Site Services (AHSS).
Aegisys developed these unique services to give
our clients the best of an offsite backup
combined with the ability to
GO-LIVE off
of the same solution integrated into every
clients business class network in North America
and the Caribbean just as if the
Aegisys mirror server was in the next room.
The question remains "What service is right for
me?"
The
HOT SITE solution is a Mirror
server that is actually running with your data
including file share permissions, Internal DNS,
Active directory, and your applications. Aegisys
HOT SITE is GO-LIVE
ready for you to connect if a server was to fail
in your local network. In fact we ask you check
it daily. Our solution is one you have complete
confidence in as you can run and print from your
applications from our data center 24x7x365 ...
should there be an issue, you can run LIVE from
Aegisys until the issue is corrected locally.
The
Aegisys Data Vault is a
backup ONLY.
Data Vault
clients, by comparison to the HOT SITE
alternative, are able to browse their
backups and restore files or related data over
the Internet. Should you have a "down" PC or
server, the time required to restore the
information is directly proportional to the size
of your data and the speed of your Internet
connection.
PANDEMIC READY!

offers free
access to our SSLVPN portal. This connects you
and your authorized staff to work from home.

What is your
Critical
Time Frame?
"Critical time
frame is defined as the acceptable time of
failure to the point of recovery of any key
component or server in your enterprise. "
Ask these questions:
How much
server or network down-time is acceptable?
If your business location was to suffer a
disaster such as fire, flood or an act of
Nature, and knowing it may be up to three weeks
to recover core services, will your business survive?
If you were down for more than 3 days ,
how much will that cost you?

about your Enterprise's unique Disaster Recovery requirements.
Together, we will engineer and forge a
solution to ensure business continuity and your
continued peace of mind.
Be ready
for disaster before it strikes ...
How HOT SITE Works
AHSS is for companies that
either do not have a backup solution or wish to
augment their current solution. We are proud to
base our HOT SITE solutions on a
no agent
software
requirement for each protected server to be
backed up. Instead, Data is direct synchronized
to Aegisys hosted Disaster Recovery
MIRROR
servers
real-time as data changes
though our private ExclusiveNET
Extranet community. Data can be backed up or
restored by authorized users via as simple as
cut and paste
or drag and drop
functionalities based on the method your data is
being backed up.
Aegisys includes as part of your cost of Service, joining
your Mirror server to your existing domain as a
Domain Controller. We further become a secondary DNS to
your network. Therefore, if your domain
controllers were to suffer a failure, you will
still authenticate off of your hosted Mirror
server seamlessly.
We know of no other
vendor that infuses as much functionality,
usability, security and added value in any
Disaster Recovery life cycle solution for as little
as our cost of service.
Data Transfer Basics
Aegisys can setup almost any
size of server for
HOT
SITE. The time to be
GO-LIVE
may vary based on the size of the system being
MIRRORED.
Therefore, process which we follow will vary
based on requirements and software used.
Aegisys
ExclusiveNET Partners may enjoy
the added benefit of a dedicated VLAN connection
to the Aegisys Network Operations Centre
dramatically increasing the volume of data that
may be synced to your Mirror Server.
Syncronizations can be scheduled to run at preset
intervals or set to run continuously. Hourly (or
the appropriate configured interval) historical
versions of active data files will be kept for
thirty days. After thirty days, the versions
will be reduced to weekly, monthly and
eventually yearly versions according to the
retention policy.

your solution's requirements. Contact us to
discuss your unique requirements towards
Disaster Recovery integrations.

How we make your HOT SITE in the next room Aegisys recognized early on in the engineering of our solutions that to provide truly meaningful Disaster Recovery alternatives, it had to provide for clients who either did not have the luxury of an alternate site or for those who had the alternate location but geographically was across the parking lot so was not far enough away to avert a natural disaster. So we went to work and developed our Innovative HOT SITE approach to business continuity. Our solution is one that enhances your availability, integrates seamlessly into almost any business class network, and is able to serve almost anyone, anywhere Disaster Recovery services provided an Internet connection exists. As Figure 2 below represents, we extend our Network Operation Centre to your location through our ExclusiveNET processes making us an integrated valuable component of your existing business class network. Once connected, Aegisys is able provide a full suite of services including Disaster Recovery, 24x7x365 monitoring, patch services and so much more. Aegisys has answered the call to deliver true offsite services to your enterprise. |

Disaster Recovery -
Success Stories
It is always too late,
too little, or both. And that is the road to
disaster.
David Lloyd George (1863-1945)
It seems strange to speak of
Disaster Recovery in the same sentence as
success. Below are a few of our successful
implementations of our innovative approach to
business continuity. Each we are sure has their
own reasons specific as to why they have chosen
Aegisys.
They may range from the ability to
GO-LIVE
within 1 hour of declaring disaster. Others may
say they value the ability to actually log into
their MIRROR
server every day and view and run their
application with their data as opposed to a tape
on the shelf. The one reason we are sure of is
everyone values the simply in the knowledge that
day in, day out, our solution simply works.
We work for a broad range of clients in varied
sectors and industries. We pride ourselves on

More than just a backup
Aegisys has emerged as an premier alternative to management of onsite backup for many enterprises. Here are a number of important factors enterprises must keep in mind when considering integrating online backup into their storage strategy:
-
Privacy
With new privacy laws and compliance regulations, data security has grown in significance over the past few years. Each enterprise will have to decide on the viability of handing over all company data to a third party. Aegisys can live up to enterprise privacy, security and NERC SIP compliance concerns.
-
Pricing
There are innumerable vendors occupying the space and just as many pricing plans. All vendors are not alike. Aegisys meets and exceeds all NERC SIP compliance requirements that can be met by any vendor. Our value is in the integrity of your data.
-
Speed
Don't expect online service providers to speed up enterprise backups. Both the enterprise bandwidth speed and the size of the files being backed up will affect the time it takes to complete backups and restores. Aegisys HOT SITE MIRROR servers data is as they occur in most cases, therefore making our process one of the least intrusive to your bandwidth on the market. -
Availability
All vendors guarantee a certain amount of availability, for example, 99.9% uptime. Aegisys maintains this level of uptime and works very closely with our Bandwidth partners to ensure redundant paths for maximum performance and uptime.
Why choose Aegisys?
Aegisys offers a
comprehensive
Disaster
Recovery Hot

integrity unlike
