The Horizon Advantage
Your data is the single most important asset you own. It’s what enables you to do business with your customers, track your sales, order your supplies, and communicate with other businesses. Simply trusting this asset to a magnetic tape is not enough. You need the ability to stay operational under any circumstances.
Who we are- We are an IT Partner, not an IT Provider. We believe:
- A true data solution is far more than a ‘backup’
- In preventing problems rather than fixing them
- There is greater value to you in staying operational rather than restoring from tape
- In one flat fee per month that takes the guesswork out of IT support costs
Downtime Destroys Profitability
The Total Data Protection (TDP) Program is designed to keep your data secure, protected, and accessible. We ensure your business stays operational in any scenario. We have the ability to restore files, virtualize servers, and even restore your entire network in the event of a disaster.
What we do- Install our TDP Device at your business, and create a complete virtual copy of your entire network
- Schedule regular intervals, as often as every 15 minutes, to capture changes made to your data as they happen
- We co-locate your data to our Network Operations Center, ensuring your information lives in two places and is completely secure
- Virtualize any server that goes off-line, thus keeping you fully operational during repairs
- Include all maintenance and storage in one monthly price, relative to the size of your data
- Act as your Virtual CIO and provide you with quarterly recommendations to improve performance, manage the size of your data, and keep your costs minimal
Why we do it- So you can focus on your business, not your network. Your data is safe, secure and fully managed. No more worrying if the tape was changed
- Immediate data retrieval and restoration. Full network restores from tape can take several days; our system can virtualize a server in less than 30 minutes
- To prevent downtime at ground level. The true cost of downtime is more than just your employees’ ability to work; it’s the impact on your customers and their perception of your business.
