Business continuity, disaster recovery is serious business

Johannesburg, 24 Apr 2012

StorageCraft, the world-leading vendor of real-time recovery solutions, invites you to understand the business opportunity created by providing real value to your customers beyond conventional technology.

Paul Harris, StorageCraft Regional Manager for South Africa, will provide you and your customers the opportunity to understand how to deliver predictable outcomes with real-time business continuity and disaster recovery on Windows platforms. He will demonstrate how to build a highly profitable revenue stream with a product that works, and reveal how to go about it.

Every company knows the importance of backups. “But what is the point of ticking the box by making a backup if the chances of a meaningful recovery in the time required by the business are unattainable?”

He will explain how the two key elements that make all the difference are RTO and RPO I.E. If you can't recover what the business needs at the exact point when things went bad, it's worthless; and if you can't recover that data, system or file in the timeframe required, which is critical to the business or the user, then the backup was just a box that got ticked and delivered no value at all.

Harris says the great thing about technology is that it evolves, and now both of these outcomes are deliverable today for Windows systems at ridiculously low cost, and they can be achieved predictively time and time again. With StorageCraft products, you can deliver real-time recovery in three key scenarios: file recovery (backup), business continuity (system recovery) and disaster recovery (offsite system recovery). You can do this all in minutes and it is affordable and available today.

In less than 10 clicks of a mouse, any company can restore business server operations time and time again with the same positive result. In today's commercial landscape, customer loyalty is only as good as the vendor's IT offering and the team that run it. “Can you confidently say that you could recover an entire system in minutes, even on dissimilar hardware or virtual platforms? Have you tested your team and their solutions?” Harris asks.

Join Harris on 24 April, at 3pm, for a brief but concise step-by-step guide at First Distribution's offices: 37 Kyalami Boulevard, Kyalami Business Park. RSVP to Bernice@phoenixsoftware.co.za.

StorageCraft is represented exclusively in South Africa by Phoenix Software.
