Data Backup Assessment
A non-intrusive, independent assessment of your data backup solutions and policies to ensure compliance, data integrity and simplified recovery processes.
Whether you are protecting your data and applications from potential disaster or simply mitigating the risk of accidental deletion, there is a duty on us all to provide good data governance.
The ACS backup analysis and assessment service provides a clear picture of your current backup methodology, using firm data to show the true success rate of backup jobs, identify which datasets are most exposed through failure and provide throughput rates to indicate where bottlenecks are occurring.
More importantly, we relate this to the service levels you must have in place to backup and recover your data for the business and examine how your current data backup solution enables you to meet these requirements.
ACS’s experienced and accredited consultants are able to provide clear advice and guidance to enable customers to benefit from a greatly improved data backup service. We might recommend, for example, tuning and performance enhancements or a more efficient architecture that utilises newer technology. Additionally, ACS can provide a data backup solution via a managed service, where we work to agreed service levels to enable our customers to benefit from 24x7 operations with continual monitoring and management.
ACS Data Backup Assessment is for you if:
- You are not fully confident of a successful outcome if you had to recover system data
- Too many backup jobs simply fail to complete with success rates as low as 70% or worse
- Onsite or offsite tape storage is still a major part of your backup strategy, which can be subject to physical failure
- You are looking to implement disk-to-disk backup, virtual tape libraries and de-duplication techniques
- Jeopardising the integrity of your organisation’s data would have catastrophic consequences
- Compliance regulations dictate that any or all of your organisation’s data must be readily available in a short timeframe
