Cybersecurity & Networking

Get back to work, whatever goes wrong.

Ransomware, a failed server, a deleted folder or a flooded server room can stop a business in minutes. These five tools keep safe copies of your data and bring your systems back quickly when you need them.

See the product lines.

Each one protects a different kind of system. Most businesses need more than one, and we set them up to work as a single plan.

VM Backup

Copies of your virtual servers, ready to start again.

Most business servers today are virtual machines: several servers sharing one physical machine. VM backup copies each one whole, on a schedule, so a failed or infected server can be restored quickly, or even started straight from its backup while the original is repaired.

What it does

  • Scheduled backups of whole virtual servers
  • Restore a whole server, a single file or one email
  • Start a server straight from its backup in an emergency
  • Copies kept off site and locked against changes

Where it helps

  • Businesses that run their servers as virtual machines
  • Recovering from ransomware without paying
  • Trying an update on a copy before the real server

Physical Server & Endpoint Backup

For machines that run on their own hardware, and the laptops people carry.

Some servers still run directly on their own hardware, and much important work lives only on staff laptops and desktops. This backs them up automatically, even when a laptop is away from the office, and can rebuild a whole machine onto new hardware if the old one fails.

What it does

  • Automatic backups of servers, desktops and laptops
  • Works over the internet for staff away from the office
  • Rebuilds a whole machine onto new hardware
  • Restores one lost file in a few clicks

Where it helps

  • Older systems that run on a server of their own
  • Staff whose work lives on their laptop
  • A laptop that is stolen, broken or replaced

NAS Backup

Safe copies of your shared drives and file stores.

A NAS (network-attached storage) is the box or file server that holds your shared folders: contracts, designs, spreadsheets and archives. NAS backup copies those files somewhere else, keeps earlier versions, and lets you restore a single file or a whole shared drive.

What it does

  • Backs up shared folders and file servers
  • Keeps earlier versions of every file
  • Handles very large folders without slowing the office
  • Restores one file or a whole shared drive

Where it helps

  • Design, engineering and legal teams with large files
  • A folder deleted or overwritten by mistake
  • Files locked by ransomware

Replication & DR Orchestration

A standby copy of your systems, and a plan to switch to it.

Replication keeps an up-to-date copy of your most important systems at a second site or in the cloud. DR (disaster recovery) orchestration is the plan that starts them there, in the right order and at the press of a button, if your main site goes down. It can be tested without disturbing daily work.

What it does

  • Near-live copies of key systems at a second site
  • Switches over in the right order, at the press of a button
  • Tests the plan without touching live systems
  • Reports that show auditors the plan works

Where it helps

  • Banks, hospitals and others that cannot stop
  • A fire, flood or power cut at the main site
  • Regulators who ask for a tested recovery plan

Microsoft 365 Backup

Your own copy of email, files and Teams chats.

Microsoft keeps Microsoft 365 running, but looking after your data is largely up to you, and deleted items are kept only for a limited time. This keeps a separate copy of your email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, so anything deleted, overwritten or locked by an attacker can be brought back.

What it does

  • Backs up email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams
  • Keeps copies for as long as you choose
  • Restores one email, a file or a whole mailbox
  • Stored apart from your Microsoft 365 account

Where it helps

  • Files a leaver deleted on the way out
  • An account taken over and emptied by an attacker
  • Keeping records for as long as the rules require

Not sure what you need?

You don't need to know the names. Start from what would hurt most if it were lost, and tell us a little about your systems. We will match you to the right mix.

Bring these answers to the first call

Rough answers are fine. They let us come prepared, so the first conversation is about your business rather than a form.

  • Which systems could you not work without for a day?
  • How much could you afford to lose: a day's work, an hour's, or none?
  • Are your servers virtual, physical, in the cloud, or a mix?
  • Where are your backups kept today, and when did you last restore one?
  • Do you use Microsoft 365, and for how many people?
  • Are there rules on how long you must keep records?
