GensCorp IT Inc. offers a complete Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) solution designed to backup multiple Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Servers.

The total BDR Solution is fully monitored and managed 24x7 by our Network Operations Centre. We perform daily verification tests to ensure the integrity of the data. In the event of server failure we can, in most cases, have your organization up and running quickly. In the case of catastrophe, you will have a fully functional server within 48 hours, on weekdays and within 96 hours on a weekend.

Services Provided
An on-site, or co-located (NAS) unit that provides fast server virtualization capabilities in the event of
server failure.
Monitoring of the Network Attached Storage (NAS) device 24x7x365.
Secure Remote (Off-site) Storage.
Day to day data restoration and full recovery in the event of catastrophe.
Full management and verification of the NAS and remote storage system.

Security
Data is encrypted before it leaves your servers with an encryption key. The data is then encrypted again for transit over the Internet. Files are then stored, in encrypted form, on multiple servers in high security
facilities.
Each file is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption technology. The encrypted data cannot be read without the corresponding keys, so encrypted data cannot be misused, even if it's stolen.

File compression
Before files are encrypted they are compressed on the NAS using state-of-the-art compression technology. This compression ensures that the time it takes to do backups is shorter and because each file is significantly smaller, less storage space is used on the remote servers.

Backup Frequency
The service can protect your data as frequently as every 15 minutes, every day. This provides hundreds of additional backup copies allowing multiple restore points to recover the most current version of your data just prior to the data loss event.

Remote Storage
Provided at two high availability Data Centre’s.
Highly redundant storage with backup images stored at the data centre’s on a SAN at the primary facility,
then replicated to the secondary facility.
Connectivity provided by multiple providers with automatic failover capabilities.
Facilities provide two fiber optic network drops for our backbone.
Full physical security at each facility including security cameras, key card and biometric access.
Network is secured with high-end redundant, automatic failover firewalls.
Fire suppression and environmental control provided.
Automatic backup power provided by on-site generators.

Minimum Remote Storage Requirements - No minimum.

Routine Retrieval Testing
The integrity of backups is checked as they occur and are tested for recovery every month.

Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
GensCorp IT Inc. will log all backup and retrieval activities from the client and in most cases, resolve access, backup, or retrieval problems. We can restore a file, file folder, email or an entire mailbox as needed. In a disaster, where you should lose your entire office, we will have a new NAS imaged, with the most current backup information. It will be shipped out via next-business day air transportation to your location.
When the NAS arrives, it is ready to be used as a virtual server.
The NAS can also be used to perform a bare metal restore to dissimilar hardware which means that when a new server arrives, the NAS can be used to restore the most current data to that new server regardless of the server hardware.
