Overview

At Avaria, we are obsessed with backups. Why? Because business data backups are the last line of defense in case of server failures, hacks, data corruption (RAID failure, database corruption), data hijack (Crypto type hijacking), and accidental data loss. Every business has different needs and different expectations from backups. That’s why Avaria offers the widest range of backups and disaster recovery options. At Avaria, we tailor our comprehensive line of backup systems to fit your unique requirements (RTO, RPO, and Retention), environment and budget.

Depending on your unique needs, Avaria backups include simple file servers, VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServers, database servers (such as MS Exchange and SQL), SharePoint servers, Linux and Linux database servers. All backup solutions include physical servers, virtual servers or as in many cases, hybrid of both types. We are vendor agnostic so it doesn’t matter whether your environment is physical or virtualized with Microsoft Windows, Linux, VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Citrix XenServer.

Disaster Recovery/Fail-Over in 1.5 hr form start to finish:

Situation: A Client in RTP experienced a total loss of power in their building around 6AM due to snow storm. Utility company did not have an ETA for power restore. Client called Avaria to fail-over servers in Disaster Recovery Mode.
8:25AM: Client called Avaria to go into Disaster Recovery mode. Avaria maintains and manages a 24x7x365 server replication setup between its datacenter and Client’s office.
9:05AM: Avaria brought the replicated file server online (1.5 TB data) at its datacenter in about 10 minutes. 9:25AM: After testing routing and DNS services, Avaria’s network admin confirmed server was fully functional, accessible and usable at Avaria’s datacenter.

Custom Server Deployment

Situation: 10:26am (deep into Labor Day weekend): Client requests a new server to be deployed immediately to replace a server that was deployed on an hour’s notice just two days ago. Why? Because Client’s application developer had mistakenly requested wrong operating system and wrong SQL version. 11:55am: Avaria’s account manager responded via email “I'll try my best to line up a resource and get this going in the next few hours.”
12:50PM: Avaria lined up resources and started the deployment.
2:350PM: Client’s new server had been fully provisioned, 138 updates applied, remote access enabled in support portal and granted, credentials sent to Client’s developer.

Benefits of Virtualization

Situation: 11:05am: Client’s end users had been complaining that applications on their server were running too slow.
11:11am Technician determined the server needed more CPU power.

Typical Same Day Physical-to-Virtual Server Conversion

Situation: Client’s server was 5 years old and was costing 10 to 15 hours of monthly maintenance costs and frequent downtime. Client agreed to get rid of the server and go with a virtualized server instead of buying new hardware. Friday was a good day because Client’s office closed early.
12:20pm Technician backed up the server using imaging software, transported the image to the datacenter and loaded the image into our virtualized environment.
4:43pm called the client asking to test remote access, test software and applications and make sure all data looked good. 6:07PM Client emailed saying “all looks great”.
