BACK UP, DISASTER RECOVERY & BUSINESS CONTINUITY

Ensuring Your Data Is Protected, No Matter What
Heading underline graphic

At Ferrara IT, we believe that world-class security requires a comprehensive, multi-layered approach. To deliver unparalleled protection for your business, we combine the expertise of our internal team of certified security professionals with the strength of three industry-leading security partners. We ensure that our clients have a robust business continuity plan in place, covering data backup, disaster recovery, and more, so they are fully prepared for any scenario.

Natural Disasters and Extreme Weather

Likely the first thoughts in most of our minds when thinking about “disaster” are those caused by Mother Nature—hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and other events that can cause significant structural damage and substantially impact businesses. A 2013 study, “Climate Change Preparedness and the Small Business Sector,” claims that small businesses lose an average of $3,000 per day after closing due to a severe storm, and the regularity of these events makes the decision to purchase BDR a no-brainer.

Even in cases where infrastructure damage is minimal, things like power outages, small leaks, and less severe issues can result in significant downtime, impacting sales, employee productivity, and client retention.

Hardware Failure

Simply put, hardware fails. Different hard drives, servers, desktops, and other devices have varying life expectancies and refresh cycles, but now and again things simply break down. Whether it’s due to normal wear and tear, defects, or the unexplainable, businesses need to be prepared. BDR can help ensure that entire datasets and all of the information stored on these devices are replicated and accessible should something suddenly stop working.

File Corruption and Software Failure

In addition to hardware, software solutions also occasionally trip up and cause problems. Files and data can become corrupted. Files may be deleted without warning. The important presentation or Excel spreadsheet may suddenly disappear right before an important meeting. In addition to providing complete restores for entire machines, BDR allows for the recovery of individual files and folders.

Our BDR Capabilities
  • Continuous Data Protection - technology that automatically tracks changes at block-level

  • Comprehensive Data Verification - utilizes multiple verification processes, and tests backups to ensure validity.

  • Instant Onsite Virtualization - for minimal downtime.

  • Secure Remote Access - through a highly secured cloud interface.

  • Multiple Cloud Storage Options—from long term data archiving to immediate recovery.

  • End-to-End Always-On Encryption - continually protects data at rest and in transit.

  • Bare-Metal Restore - for complete system recovery.

  • VM Export - for easy on-site deployment and replication to VMWare or Hyper-V.

  • Granular File & Folder Exclusion Rules - to optimize backups.

  • Granular File & Folder Recovery and Browsing - targets only the files you want to be restored.

THE FERRARA IT PROCESS: MANAGED SECURITY

Limiting Your Risk And Protecting Your Business
Heading underline graphic

How much time have you spent working on cybersecurity issues in the last six months? Are you staying up-to-date with cybersecurity threats?

With all of the various threats to your company’s data, IT security needs to be a key priority.

If you don’t have someone actively monitoring your network, you may not detect any issues until it’s too late. What if you didn’t know your business had been attacked by ransomware until after the ransom payment window closed, and you couldn’t access any of your files?

Examples of time consuming but necessary cybersecurity tasks you can offload include:

  • Reviewing firewall rules

  • Updating your firewall

  • Patching the latest vulnerabilities discovered

  • Maintaining required controls and standard certifications, such as ISO, SSAE16, HIPAA, SOX, etc.

  • Filtering web content

  • Updating software

  • IT Security Training

We help you tackle these challenges head-on thanks to our security experience and proven risk management processes. Our IT Security process includes:
