SafeData Launches Managed High Availability Services
WARWICK, R.I., Aug. 26 -- SafeData, LLC, a technology company focused on helping companies protect their data, minimize downtime and recover and restore data quickly, today announced the launch of its Managed High Availability Services. This new offering will provide organizations with 24/7 monitoring and problem resolution, audits and scheduled switch tests to ensure the stability and confidence of their high availability (HA) environments.
Gartner Group estimates that 50 percent of companies that build out an HA solution fail their disaster recovery (DR) tests and 95 percent of all companies never complete their DR testing. According to Gartner, this is due to the lack of specific knowledge of the technology and very limited IT resources within these organizations.
"The IT resources in businesses today are stretched very thin and running a stable replication system still remains a complex process," said Peter Briggs, president of SafeData. "Many IT departments don't perform periodic role swaps and don't correct errors as often as they should. Our Managed Services offering takes the guesswork out of running high availability and its price point makes it an affordable option for companies looking for an immediate return on their investment."
SafeData can manage an HA environment in the customer network or through its subscription service that provides replication software, iSeries hardware and redundant network in one of its carrier-class data centers. Through either model, SafeData offers 24/7 automated monitoring of the HA environment as well as manual daily and weekly monitoring and incident management services. The company also offers auditing services, ensuring that HA audits are active and running per the recommended intervals. Additionally, SafeData works with its clients to identify roles and responsibilities and perform processes for both virtual and live role-swap tests. In the event of a disaster, SafeData will perform necessary fail-over procedures to ensure the availability of its client's data.
