DISASTER RECOVERY
An important, yet often overlooked part of your
business continuity plan is IT disaster recovery
(DR). In broad terms, this is how you deal with and
prevent IT downtime. Even if every other part of your
business continuity plan is executed perfectly, you
remain at a standstill if your IT systems go down and
stay down. And the situation will only get worse as
your revenue and reputation take a beating.
There’sahugedifferencebetweendisasterprevention
and disaster recovery. Both are necessary. But the
former only mitigates the risk of downtime through
high availability. The latter makes sure if downtime
happens you can actually get your IT back online
quickly through geographic redundancy.
AOS Cloud Services Solution:
Unless you’re one of the few businesses in the
world that has the money, data centers, hardware,
networks, and expertise, in-house DR is difficult—
if not impossible. When you do DR yourself, there
are just too many technical complexities and too
many compromises struck between minimizing
downtime and controlling costs for DR to be reliable.
Fortunately for businesses, AOS CLOUD SERVICES
makes designing, deploying and managing a DR
plan less painful—and more vaffordable.
AOS CLOUD SERVICES DR solutions are not one
size fits all. They are designed for each customer’s
business, technical and budget needs. Just as
important, they are fully managed—backups, data
replication, application recovery, server recovery,
assessments and DR plan testing are backed
24x7x365 by our expert staff.
BACKUP
Backing up your critical data may seem like a no-
brainer, but ever-increasing amounts of data may
make the task seem insurmountable. AOS CLOUD
SERVICES offers expandable, secure, and highly
available backup for your business’ precious
information.
With redundant data centers throughout the Midwest,
you never have to worry that a singular disaster will
ruin your business. AOS CLOUD SERVICES also
offers data sovereignty in which we will guarantee
your data will reside off-site and secure in one of our
data centers only in the USA.
We use best-in-class backup technologies to ensure
redundancy, resiliency, and availability of your data.
Reports provide auditable results to assure your
backups have occurred and are safely stored offsite.
Don’t want to mess with the backup process? AOS
CLOUD SERVICES offers a fully managed backup
solution for a fraction of the cost you might incur
performing it yourself. You get all the security and
peace of mind without any of the hassle. We can
handle your backup from beginning to end and
of course provide reports to ensure the process
is meeting expectations and to file with auditors
for compliance.
In 2011, AOS chose to expand our service offerings to
better meet the needs of our customers and the growing
desire to leverage cloud services in the industry.
AOS has merged with NIS (Network Integration Services), a Kansas City based company, to provide
first class data center cloud services. With this partnership, AOS is proud to offer an ever expanding
