Pretty much everyone wants to be available 24/7 these days – but the growing usage of mobile devices such as the iphone is exposing security breaches that hackers are taking advantage of.
We’re including here a recent product review of Marathon everRun high availability software by LAN Magazine – the article is written by a well-known independent Dutch IT reviewer who doesn’t always give favourable reviews….. (more…)
Of course you’ve read about the benefits of Replicate Data, 24/7 Uptime’s offsite data backup solution, and have seen our customer testimonials but, in case you need more reasons to consider offsite backup:
£500,000 fine – or offsite data backup? It’s a no brainer really – yet many companies think IT security is boring, perhaps unnecessary and something that can be put off until tomorrow. Well, tomorrow has arrived - because the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) now has powers to fine companies £500,000 if they are careless about securing personal data of individuals – whether that’s staff or customers.

Knowing, liking & trusting people you do business with is vital. It’s a 24/7 Uptime mantra!
24/7 Uptime celebrates its first birthday today and we want to thank our clients, suppliers, colleagues and friends for their help in achieving this milestone. There’s still a great deal the 24/7 Uptime team wants to do but we’re delighted to have made it this far, despite 2009’s challenging trading conditions. Thank you all and happy birthday to us!
A simple definition of high availability and disaster recovery:
Don’t confuse high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR), or expect a DR solution to meet your availabililty needs. Put simply, high availability is about PREVENTING downtime and disasters, while disaster recovery is RECOVERING FROM PROBLEMS once they occur. Disaster recovery solutions are designed to help you recover from true disasters (floods, fires), not minor problems (network card failure, storage corruption).
