Hurricanes sweeping through the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean have already begun to capture headlines. Swimmers and surfers are at risk due to huge waves, but these massive storms pose a significant threat to businesses too. Once they move inland, hurricanes can damage or even destroy offices and company data centers, and potentially cost enterprises tens of thousands of dollars or more. Disaster recovery planning is critical for any enterprise, but for companies in hurricane-vulnerable areas, this is especially true right now. That’s why we have decided to offer the free use of our cloud gateway technology, the Nasuni Filer, to companies in hurricane-prone regions for the duration of the storm season.
There are a number of offsite data backup solutions on the market today - most enterprises resort to disk, tape, or some combination of the two. But the reality is that when you evaluate these solutions in terms of downtime, data integrity, cost, simplicity, and security, they fall short. An effective cloud gateway technology, on the other hand, can meet each of these critical standards.
A hurricane could level your data center, but if you were a Nasuni client, you would be able to access your file system in less than 15 minutes. Critical business documents could be recovered almost instantly, and it would all be done securely, simply, affordably and without the loss or corruption of data that is common with other solutions.
We want to help companies plan for disaster during this particularly dangerous season, so from September 1 through November 30, 2010, we’re offering the Filer free to businesses in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Lousiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. (For more details, see here.)
Our goal is to help as many businesses as possible get through this already intense hurricane season without losing critical business data. But we also believe that these companies will see the benefits of affordable, simple, and secure automatic offsite backup, and stay with us beyond this period.
If you have any questions or would like to find out more about the offer, please call us at 508-651-0580 or write to us at feedback@nasuni.com.
