Data loss can be the direct result from
failed hardware, virus, sabotage, theft and natural
disaster. Our subscription service
securely backs up critical data off site.
Our fault tolerance solutions for
businesses with multiple servers and/or
offices, cover daily data backup and
real-time mirroring for quick fail-over on a
single WAN or LAN connection.
Have an exact server disk image, including
the operating system, applications,
configurations and mission critical
databases automatically copied to external
hard drives or NAS device. Restore
image to new drive or server and be up and
running again in minutes.
SECURE ONLINE BACKUP
Secure, reliable data protection is critical
to the operation and success of any business.
The slightest interruption can be
costly. Amidst exponential storage
growth over increasingly distributed
networks, the risk from viruses, user
deletion and sabotage, even theft and
natural disaster is evident.
A secure online backup solution is the
answer to dependable data protection.
Basic
Features
FastBIT patching
process is the core technology behind
our speedy backup service. The
patching process involves the
comparison of two different versions
of the same file and extracting the
differences between the files. When
the differences are extracted from the
two files, they are saved into a new
file and compressed into what is known
as a Patch. The patch file is often
85% to 99.9% smaller than the file
which the patch was extracted from
originally.
Secure backups
with the 128-bit AES encryption on
transmission. Data is also encrypted
on our storage servers.
Multiple
scheduling or interactive.
Remote deployment,
monitoring and maintenance is included
with our service. Restores to external
drives are regularly preformed for verification.
Reports are
automatically emailed to a specified
address.
Restore data
online anytime, anywhere or have data
shipped on CD's or DVD's. Data
is encrypted on media and can only be
unlocked with the client's secret
password.

AUTOMATIC SERVER
IMAGE BACKUP
Our image backup package
is a comprehensive
server protection and recovery solution
that protects more than just data. It
protects the entire server. A disk
image file contains the exact, byte-by-byte
copy of a hard drive, partition or logical
disk and can be created with various
compression levels on the fly without
stopping Windows OS and therefore without
interrupting your business. With
support for both 64-bit Windows and
32-bit Windows and Linux, you can rest
assured that both old and new systems are
protected.
Have an exact server disk image,
including the operating system,
applications, configurations and mission
critical databases automatically copied
to external hard drives or NAS device.
Perform a full system restore, a
bare-metal restore or just a restore of
individual files and folders in minutes.
Complete system restoration can be
performed to an existing system, to a
new system with different hardware or to
a virtual machine.
Allows you to create a server disk
backup image without interrupting server
operations, providing 24 x 7
availability.

RAID REDUNDANCY
Every server built by
Plexus comes with a minimum fault tolerance of hardware RAID1.
Where there are many advantages to RAID, it
does not protect essential data from virus, sabotage,
corruption, deletion, theft and natural disaster.
LOSS PREVENTION
Replacing key hardware
in a server such as hard drives and power supply after three years is highly recommended. Why
wait for failure? Plexus upgrades client servers for
longer life, reliability, and better performance.
