The Comet Disaster Recovery Service provides a comprehensive solution for your business continuity plan.


These days, it is becoming more and more important to have a plan in case something at your business site should fail. Whether it's a full-blown disaster like an earthquake, tornado, flood or fire, or simply a server or hard disk failure - how are you prepared to continue your business? Often, people turn to tape backups and off-site storage, but sometimes this just isn't enough. Can you afford to spend a day, two, or a week recovering your hardware and data only to find out the tape was corrupt?

The Comet Disaster Recovery Service uses CometAnywhere technology to duplicate your existing comet data and programs on a remote server - providing a redundant system that can be initialized quickly in case of a disaster. By making automated, periodic updates to the remote server, you are insured that if something happens to your local system, there is an up-to-date and physically distinct remote system capable of resuming normal business operation with minimal downtime.


Features:

• Redundant: In case of a disaster, you have a copy of your comet infrastructure available to run all of your business operations.

• Up-to-date: Periodic updates are made by your server to the Comet Backup server in order to keep the most current version of programs and data available.

• Easy Verification: Simply log into our remote Comet server like you would your own to run your programs and verify that the system is current.

• Low Overhead: No tape drives, no special programs. The service is run by a simple Visual Basic script on your server – everything else is hosted by Signature Systems.

• Secure: Our servers are located in northern California behind card-locked doors with modern cooling, fire suppression, backup power, and on-site personnel 24/7.
