The Safety & Security of Data is a Serious Matter

The safety and security of your data is of the utmost importance. That’s why continuously synchronized
encrypted backups of your data are transmitted to off-site servers in not one, but two redundant data
fortresses located bi-coastally in San Diego, CA and rural Pennsylvania.

Your Data - Protected & Secure

Power Protection

These data centers use Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) battery systems, as well as N+1 emergency geerator configuration to ensure that off-site servers storing your data are continuously powered.

Fire Protection

The data centers use waterless FM200 Gaseous Fire Fighting Systems to protect against fire and eliminate potential damage from traditional fire safety systems. The gas used by the FM200 System is rated for use in active electrical environments because it has no electrical conductivity. In addition, the FM200 System meets environmental standards, leaves no residue, and is approved for use in occupied spaces.

Environmental Protection

Temperature and humidity controls are continuously monitored and performed by full data-grade HVAC systems using advanced hot and cold aisle containment. These highly efficient systems are designed to separate the cool air supply from the hot air exhaust. The hot exhaust is immediately captured at the point of origin and instantly cooled via return through the cooling system, thereby protecting the hardware containing your data from changes in temperature and humidity.

Physical Protection

Your data is stored in an encrypted state and physically protected and guarded at all times. Staffed and monitored 24/7, no one can physically access the secure data centers without global biometric authentication, retinal or palm scan verification. In addition, remote critical facilities management teams track all authenticated data center personnel and monitor, report, and record all access and activity, ensuring the most comprehensive security possible.

Your Data - Intact & Accessible

The redundant bi-coastal data centers connect to multiple redundant carriers forming a fail-safe network. So, in the event of a fiber cut, service outage, or a regional disaster that effects or shuts down a carrier or even an entire data center, the network remains intact and operational, meaning your data is always accessible.

Continuous Efficacy Controls

SAS70 Type II Certification means that the data centers satisfy the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The AICPA is widely recognized as the gold standard when it comes to assessment of effectively designed operational controls and activities. These data centers have SAS70 Audits performed annually to ensure they maintain optimum standards of performance.

With Computer Systems Inc., you can trust that your data is protected & secure.

Introducing the Aurora:

The latest backup and disaster recovery solution. Fusing industry leading technology with award winning hardware, the Aurora gives you protection and the peace of mind that your current backup solution can’t provide. Your old tapes, hard drives, and software solutions are relics of the past.

Why Do I Need Backup?

Fire, Theft, Flood, Accidental deletion or hardware failure.

Any of these could lead to catastrophic information loss, crippling your business while you scramble to recover. Perhaps you or your IT/MSP have a backup system in place, implementing tape or hard drive backup. But what if these systems fail as well? How much will it cost to retrieve all of your files and information?

Backing up your information has never been easier.

With on and off-site backup occurring every five minutes, you can be confident that your information is safely protect and stored. Paired with instant virtualization, the Aurora ensures complete business continuity.

Virtualization

Your computer crashes or your servers fail. Now what? Clients are waiting on projects, employees don’t have access to critical data and deadlines are approaching. With virtualization, your company can be back up and running instantly. Simply with the click of a button, the Aurora device recreates your computer or server so your business can resume as
if nothing had ever happened.

On and Off-Site Backup

In the event that your computers or servers fail, the Aurora device is on site, ready to virtualize and retrieve your data. In the event of total disaster in which your Aurora device is also destroyed, your information is also backed up to two secure locations in the US. These two locations can virtualize your information in a matter of hours.

Incremental Backup

Aurora devices back up your information every five minutes - three times more frequently than the leading competitor’s backup solution. This is ideal for high transaction computers or servers, where losing ten minutes or more of information is simply unacceptable.

Statistics

After a major loss of computer records, 43% of companies never reopened, 51% closed within two years of the loss, 6% survived over the long term - Cummings, Maeve; Haag, Stephen; and McCubbrey, Donald. 2003. Management information systems for the information age.

“A Company that experiences a computer outage lasting more than 10 days will never fully recover financially. 50 percent will be out of business within five years.” - Jon Toiga, Disaster Recovery Planning: Managing Risk and Catastrophe in Information Systems, (Yourdon Press, 1989)

“75% of companies without business continuity plans fail within three years of a disaster” - Blythe, Bruce. Crisis Management International in Blindsided: A Manager’s Guide to Catastrophic Incidents in the Workplace. (Portfolio Hardcover, August 22, 2002)

“70 percent of small firms that experience a major data loss go out of business within a year” - Strategic Research Corp and DTI/Price Waterhouse Coopers (2004)

"When disaster strikes, every second counts. Taking days to recover information and get computers systems up and running translates into money lost - and likely, the end of your business. The Aurora is your all in one business continuity solution. With on and off-backup and instant virtualization, protecting your information and recovering from disaster has never been easier."
