There are a number of key benefits to using NaviSite’s Data Protection and Disaster Recovery Solutions:

• Enhanced business continuity: Companies can be severely impacted by the loss of their data, which can cause either slowdowns or even closings. Having a comprehensive, customized data protection and recovery solution can help keep your business running at top capacity, even in the event of a data disaster.
• Minimized downtime: Recreating or re-discovering data can take days, weeks or months. A full service disaster recovery service can prevent the necessity of that profitless downtime, and keep your business running on track.
• Reliable backup and restore with best-in-class software and hardware: Your data protection and recovery is only as good as the hardware and software that is protecting it. NaviSite uses only state of the art hardware and software in all of our functions, so you can rest assured that your data is safe.
• Secure data throughout the backup and restore process: NaviSite works hard to the protect the security of your data during the backup and restoration process. Four of our 16 data centres are SAS 70 Type II compliant, meaning you have the best security available.
• Minimized interruption to routine operations: Data backup and restoration should not impact your day-to-day business operations moving forward. Your people will still be able to perform most of the business critical functions that keep your business running, even during a backup or restoration.
• 24x7 management, troubleshooting, and maintenance of the tape backup infrastructure: Your data protection is useless if the protected data is not monitored and maintained. We have a trained staff of professionals monitoring, managing, troubleshoot and generally maintaining all aspects of your data protection service.
• Flexible, customizable solutions - freedom to choose a solution based on infrastructure, cost, performance, and security needs: Not everyone’s data protection and recovery solutions are the same.
