Editor's Notes

  • #2 WelcomeIntroductionsExpectationsGoals
  • #3 History of the Backup Industry and why we chose this industry to enterTypes of Service in the Remote Backup availableMirrored Storage ApproachBenefits of our offeringSummary & Next Steps
  • #4 History of the Industry The Need as existed forever Technical Limitations have been resolved Recent Examples of physical remote backup issuesCitiGroup via shipment of media tape of non-encrypted cardholder information Litigation of those mishaps Commercial offerings – really only available to large companies Small Companies have been relegated to inferior solutions based on cost Tape BackupsExternal Drives Implementation is the KEY!
  • #5 Why we choices this Industry? Personal Experience – worked for startups thru fortune 100 companies Diskettes – way to many disks Personal Tape Drive ZIP Drives CD/CDRW DVD and later DVDRW External Hard-drive Common Problem – backing up is fine, but the restore is where the NEED is! Market Offerings Large companies have done backups for years, but few have an offsite storage facility that is outside the primary data center Individual solutions - backups have just become vogue in the last 6 months The GAP! Power Users – multiple computers and/or large storage needs (guilty) Small Businesses – SOME have implemented “all information is stored on single server” but there is VALUABLE information on other computers! Medium-Large Businesses – no real control of information. I was in this space from start-up company THRU fortune 100 companies as recent as last quarter!!! Market Trends – “it’s all about the data” It’s size is only GROWING!
  • #6 Personal Offerings Limits 1 drive (i.e. C:) or My Documents – this is important for anyone that has multiple intelligent devices, drives or computers Storage – “Unlimited storage is not really the truth as my mom taught me” It is limited in size AND time. You have to have contract experience to find the “Got-Ya”! Extra Changes – As mentioned above when the “normal” limits are reach there ARE extra charges for things like: Storage space Uploads & Downloads (backups & restores) Slow Start Most have you start the backup and it take days to weeks to complete. Meanwhile you believe that you are covered Incremental backups also take more time “than advertized”. Security Are the keys stored on the backup server – if so you are not compliant with most of the regulations. Snapshots – schedules and backups are fixed and do not meet your requirements Self Monitoring – you are responsible for monitoring backups success’s and errorsBusiness Offerings Multiple Systems – ANY device on the network Appliance – key offering that removes the configuration and maintenance issues Security Options – Multiple options from simple to DOD standard Scheduling – completed flexible on scheduling including shutdown/resume features Detailed Logging – we manage your backups and notify you of exceptions
  • #7 Our Business Approach Multiple Systems – that can be mapped to a Windows drive (Win32/64, MAC, Linux, AS400/iSeries, Unix flavors, smart devices, PDA’s, etc).Appliance – does the heavy lifting and accelerates the initial implementation (copy or disk drive). Removes the configuration and maintenance issues Security Options – the KEY difference between us and the world Scheduling – complete flexibility to meet your needs Logging – We monitor and manage your environment. Without management you are on your own.
  • #8 Architecture Customer Side All of your company is covered File Servers Database/Email Servers Laptops Desktops Storage Devices (USB drives, SMART phone, iPod, etc) Appliance Value Central source of client side interactions Administered and Managed by Mirrored Storage Backup Side (Mirrored Storage 2 sites) Redundant servers Redundant sites Maximum convenience and protection
  • #9 Benefits of Mirrored Storage’s offering Security – more details to share with you Management – we monitor your backups and notify you All offerings that we tested did NOT do this We maintain the appliance for you (Operating System, Anti-Virus, Hardware, etc) We can aid in the new or changed devices for you Restore assistance done for you No Agent software to install and patch on your computers, servers or storage devices Company Wide backup of information – we handle ALL your information assets Redundancy – we maintain another copy “just in case” Technology We are using the industry leader with more than 20 years of experience. Multiple versions released per year – it is CURRENT
  • #10 Security Benefits of our Approach Password level Encryption You choice the type and codes – we don’t have them Emergency assistance available if you REALLY need it Appliance Level Security Your sensitive information is encrypted at the appliance at your office before it is transmitted Appliance is also capable of doing local backups for new or significant backups QUICKLY and then transmitted to our data centers Encryption Methods Multiple Options – currently 7 options Blowfish (Variable-Key) thru AES-256 (DOD certified method) More Technical information available on the website
  • #11 Summary Data Value – the value of your information is higher than you think! Backing Up is of NO value if you can’t restore! Security of your information is Vital & Often REQUIRED Competitive proprietary reasons Compliance Requirements What we offer is MUCH more than disk space Configuration Assistance (initially and over-time) Guidance on your backup strategy, we know what we are doing! Management of your systems provided: Appliance Log Monitoring Server Log Monitoring Proactive Notifications done as standard
