Zenith Advantage
In a world dominated by tape backup and disaster recovery (DR) solutions, it’s an established fact that IT solution providers can take up to a few days to recover lost data fully knowing their chances of recovery are slim at best. Tapes are prone to physical damage, can be lost during transport, and restores can fail if you're missing any tapes from the backup chain. Many solution providers in order to minimize the cost of a backup and DR solution advise their clients to carry tapes home for storage just in case. Such solutions are passé and can only bring down productivity and profitability.
The Zenith Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR) solution is carefully designed considering all aspects of backup, DR and offsite backup requirements for small business environments. The Zenith BDR G12offers solution providers the ability to build highly profitable revenue streams, while reducing customer downtime and minimizing their own technician’s time to manage & maintain backups.
What sets the Zenith BDR apart is the ability to keep downtime to a minimum in the event of a server crash. With our built-in virtualization software, the BDR is able to provide a Standby Server in less than 30 minutes. This along with our Bare Metal Restore feature to dissimilar hardware or virtual environments makes the BDR a complete business continuity solution.
In regards to email recovery, bundled Ontrack PowerControls allow granular email restores in minutes. The BDR provides the capabilities to recover a single file or single mailbox with a few clicks.
The BDR also comes equipped with a Sandbox feature that enables service providers to test updates and patches before they are deployed on a server.
Integration is available with many Remote Monitoring and Managment software suites allowing solution providers to focus their attention on building client relationships leading to a more profitable business.
