SAN Replication Better Than Tape Backup

Online Tech Offers Cost Efficient SAN to SAN Backup

Many companies are still using SAN-to-Tape Backup and Online Tech is offering an alternative, SAN-to-SAN Replication.  SAN-to-SAN replication means:

1) Lower costs of disk storage

2) Cheaper Internet connectivity costs

3) Continuous replication

Additionally, backing up directly to a Dell EqualLogic SAN at Online Tech's SAS 70 secure data center provides peace of mind that the SAN data can be restored at any time, without delay or lost data as in tape backup.

According to Online Tech's recent press release,  clients can now purchase a monthly SAN backup package that includes:

1) SAN colocation with locked rack and redundant power

2) SAS 70 data center network and physical security

3) 5 Mbps bandwidth for up to 50GB transfer/day

4) Secure VPN network connection into the SAN

An Easy First Step for Disaster Recovery

Online Backup to a Secure Data Center Delivers Cost Effective Disaster Recovery

With the announcement of OTVault, new online data storage, businesses can take an easy first step towards disaster recovery by backing up their data online to one of Online Tech's SAS 70 certified data centers.

Backups at many businesses are often poorly managed - inconsistent backup schedules or leaving the backup data on site are just some of the problems that can be overcome by automating electronic backups to online data storage.

OTVault lets businesses map the online storage to their in house servers as a drive and use their current backup software to write backups and critical data at Online Tech’s SAS70 certified data centers.

OTVault starts at $199 for 100 GB of online data storage and only $99 for each additional 100 GB.  More on OTVault Online Data Storage.
