...and much more. Our simple, lightweight online backup process is optimized for ease-of-use and maximum protection, affording better protection than tape backup while reducing the overall cost of backup administration.
 

Why You Should Be Concerned About Your Existing Tape-Based Backup System


NeXtBDR's solutions are quite different - and vastly superior - to traditional backup methods. NeXtBDR solves many problems associated with tape-based systems, and can increase the security of your critical data while saving you administrative and other costs.

Tape-based backup is...

  • Time-consuming, costing hours of productivity backing up entire sets
  • Vulnerable to damage, theft or loss Unprotected if tapes are stolen and data is read
  • Inefficient, becoming increasingly expensive and difficult to manage through the data lifecycle
  • Platform-dependent, requiring specific software platforms for backup operations
  • Failure-prone, as companies using tape backup report failure in 20-50% of recoveries 

NeXtBDR Data Protection offers many immediate benefits over traditional tape backup:

  • Superior Backup Functionality ? Incremental backups to your local NAS every fifteen minutes!
  • Advanced Restore Options ? With local backups stored on NAS, file, volume or even full system restore processes are drastically faster
  • Reduced Downtime ? Virtualization technology insures faster availability to applications and data in the event of server failure
  • Increased Recovery Time ? NeXtBDR enhances recovery options via restore functionality to different server hardware in the event of server failure
  • Reduced backup time - Incremental backup reduces backup time significantly
  • Reduced costs - Tape storage and administrative manpower costs are reduced
  • Increased protection - Data is stored offsite in a secured datacenter
  • Increased security - All backup data is AES-encrypted in transit to ensure 100% security
  • Increased efficiency - Backup is performed remotely across entire networks with a single user
  • Increased compatibility - Multiple database types and platforms are compatible
  • Increased reliability - Disk-to-disk backup and restore is used for 100% integrity of information 

NeXtBDR delivers so much more than legacy tape-based solutions NeXtBDR is fully monitored and managed 24x7 by our Network Operations Center. We perform daily verification tests to verify the integrity of the data. In the event of server failure, we can have your organization up and running in as quickly as 2 hours via virtualization technologies and/or advanced restore functionality available due to near line storage. In the case of catastrophe, our virtualization capabilities will afford you a fully functional virtualized server within 48 hours, on the weekdays and within 96 hours if the event occurs on a weekend.
 

Backup & Recovery: An Investment, Not an Expense


Unfortunately, many managers see backup and recovery as an expense, and opt to spend their budget dollars elsewhere. This strategy works for a while, but the day may come when managers will be held responsible for restoring data - possibly from tapes that won't read - and these "penny-wise" strategies are sure to return a pound of disaster.

The case for offsite data backup of business-critical data with NeXtBDR is compelling. Enterprise Data Backup & Recovery services immediately give you:

  • Business Continuity - Disasters can and do happen - natural, technical or human error-caused disasters can result in system failures and catastrophic loss of data resources critical to your business. The only way to mitigate disasters and resume business operations is with a strategy in place that restores current data - quickly, and easily.
  • Reliability of Backup - Information stored offsite in a redundant, disaster-hardened data storage facility is completely safe from fire, flood or other disasters that can easily destroy those catalogs of backup tapes stored onsite at your place of business.
  • Security of Information - What happens if your backup tapes are physically stolen? Is your sensitive customer data at risk? With NeXtBDR's offsite backup process, all information is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption, making it impossible to intercept data in flight or at rest.
  • Cost Savings - Manual tape-based backup becomes costly through the administrative involvement as well as the expense of tape libraries. Offsite backup with NeXtBDR not only runs backup processes more efficiently with agentless architecture, but it requires far less staff involvement with remote, one-touch backup process management.
With the immediate benefits gained from NeXtBDR's increased security, reliability and ease-of-use available at competitive rates, your company may find it difficult to explain to customers why - when disaster strikes - data is not being protected offsite.
 

Return on Your Backup & Recovery Investment 


What is your current manual procedure costing you? From running backup processes, validating data and reporting, manual procedures can be expensive endeavors. Then there's hardware. How much are your tapes costing you? How often do they fail, and what is it costing your organization to troubleshoot tape backup processes when a failure occurs? What does it cost to train people to do all the above, factoring in turnover?

NeXtBDR's online backup automates the entire process, freeing up your staff from backup drudgery and allowing them to focus on core business tasks. Our fully managed backup and disaster recovery solution drives down storage management costs, and significantly improves backup and disaster recovery functionality. NeXtBDR is another technology solution that makes business sense!

"We moved from a tape drive to NeXt BDR for our backups. I like the fact that its back up much closer to real-time than our tape ever was. Instead of telling the end user theyve lost their data, I can call Next I.T. and restore the file. Very Nice!"
