Backup and Recovery Assessment

In depth analysis verifies integrity, performance and reliability of your backup and recovery systems – provided by Consiliant Technologies.

Whether through media failure or poorly configured backup design, more than 25% of all backups are unrecoverable when needed. Estimates of the cost of data loss range from $10,000 to $1,000,000 per hour. Can your business afford to sustain the financial and productivity impact of such an event?

Today’s enterprise backup systems are complicated and highly customized. Configuring these systems correctly to perform backups across SAN, LAN and WAN environments can be complex and difficult. A single misconfigured setting can lead to performance degradation, poor resource utilization, or worse, non-recoverability.  The time to test the restorability of mission critical data IS NOT after it has been lost. It is now. The best way to safeguard against recovery failures is through a comprehensive Backup and Recovery Services from Consiliant Technologies.  Your organization has invested a great deal of time and money in

business critical IT infrastructure.  For a fraction of the cost of a failure, you can gain peace of mind

by knowing this infrastructure will perform as expected in the event of a significant interruption.

Consiliant Technologies understands the dynamic needs of business information. Backup and Recovery service uses time tested in-depth analysis to verify the integrity, performance, reliability, and recoverability of complex backup and recovery systems and the data they protect.  We will begin by utilizing our proven

methodologies to perform a gap analysis of your current backup and recovery environment. By evaluating

systems alignment with business needs, service level agreements and the industry’s best practices, we will

provide a clear view of the ability to recover business critical systems given any failure or disaster.

Consiliant consultants working at your sites will complete a thorough evaluation phase aimed at developing and implementing a backup and recovery plan that meets your unique needs. A typical engagement lasts between five and fifteen days depending on the size and complexity of the environment.
