Factsheet Storage 12/12/2007

Comprehensive, cross-media automated backup

Many modern organisations rely upon in-house IT staff for routine data backup procedures. However, this can lead to problems. In a distributed environment, management can be expensive and time-consuming, with a greater likelihood of data loss and downtime. The greater the volume of data � the higher the risk of human error.

As one of the UK�s leading IT solutions provider, ISC has the expertise to help you address these important issues. Our Data Protection services enable comprehensive backup to be fully-automated across a variety of tape and disk media.

Because manual input is virtually removed, the risks of error are dramatically decreased. The time and costs of running a distributed backup system are significantly reduced, data is better protected and your productivity improved.

Data Management Services Factsheet 12/12/2007 Data volumes naturally increase as an organisation grows. Yet whilst the need for data access can decrease in frequency, there are often many good reasons � from customer relationship management to legal compliance � for storing it indefinitely. And once stored, it still needs to be easily retrieved when the occasion demands.

High Availability Services Factsheet 12/12/2007 24-hour system availability is crucial to many businesses. Yet a severe IT problem � from a single server failure to a total site shutdown � could strike at any time.
