Virtual Server Hosting

For cost conscience customers that still need a high level of security, manageability, and full access Final ASP is offering Virtual Server hosting. A virtual server acts and operates just like a physical server does, but since it runs on top of a physical it allows us to run more than one virtual server on each server. Because we have multiple servers on each server it allows us to utilize each server more and to not have to invest in dedicated equipment for our clients. Each virtual server can also be hosted by any of our physical servers and in the event of a physical node failing the virtual servers are automatically moved to a new physical server.

Our virtual servers have all of the same security offered with a physical server and are vlaned away from the other client's machines.

Data Loss Statistics

* 6% of all PCs will suffer an episode of data loss in any given year. Given the number of PCs used in US businesses in 2003, that translates to approximately 6.6 million data loss episodes. At a conservative estimate, data loss cost US businesses $17.8 billion in 2003. (The Cost Of Lost Data, David M. Smith)
* 30% of all businesses that have a major fire go out of business within a year. 70% fail within five years. (Home Office Computing Magazine)
* 31% of PC users have lost all of their files due to events beyond their control.
* 34% of companies fail to test their tape backups, and of those that do, 77% have found tape back-up failures
* 60% of companies that lose their data will shut down within 6 months of the disaster
* 93% of companies that lost their server room / data center for 10 days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. 50% of businesses that found themselves without data management for this same time period filed for bankruptcy immediately. (National Archives & Records Administration in Washington)
* American business lost more than $7.6 billion as a result of viruses during first six months of 2003. (Research by Computer Economics)
* Companies that aren't able to resume operations within ten days (of a disaster hit) are not likely to survive. (Strategic Research Institute)


Workstation and Server Overview

Final-Byte Workstation is our custom remote backup software that is loaded to your laptop or workstation and protects your important information. The software allows you to select what to protect and how often it will be backed up. Final-Byte Workstation protects files, system state, registry information, open files, etc.
How it works

Final Byte compresses and encrypts files before it sends the information to our data center. It also uses byte-level replication which means only the parts of the changed files are sent to the server to be backed up. You also have the option for storing a local copy of the backup files which will enable you to perform your own restores. Your data is also backed up to a remote site from the Final ASP data center for an additional level of protection. This means for data loss to occur there would have to be failures at your site, and both of our sites at the same time.

Final Byte Enterprise
Highlights of the Service:

* A complete solution that is designed to reduce any server down time with the use of a specialized back up and virtual server appliance.
* Allows near real-time backups-as frequent as every 15 minutes.
* Offers offsite storage at an affordable cost
* Provides a low cost, speedy disaster recovery process.
* Data is encrypted so it is not accessible to anyone, either on the NAS or at the remote storage facility without the passkey.
* Eliminates the cost and time of managing on-site tape backup. We monitor and manage the entire process.
* All costs-frequent on site backups, on site virtual server, remote storage, disaster recovery in the event of disaster and 24x7 management of the entire process are bundled at a price that is comparable to the overall cost of buying and managing tape backup.

Understanding the risks of not having a backup plan in place:

* Understanding Regulatory Compliance requirements in your industry. Regulations such as the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and other laws- state and federal.
* Understanding how to mitigate the risk of losing vital business data, such as customer records.
* Being aware of the environmental hazards that the business infrastructure is exposed to due to your geographical location.
* Estimating time it would take to build the business back if disaster strikes without having any BCP in place.
*

Understanding quantitative Return On Investment (ROI) for having a Business Continuity Planning in place.

Business Continuity Planning for Small and Medium Size Businesses

A recent study discovered that, of companies experiencing a “major loss” of computer records, 43 percent never reopened, 51 percent closed within two years of the loss, and a mere 6 percent survived over the long-term For small and medium-sized businesses (SMB’s) in particular, these statistics suggest the necessity of crafting a Business Continuity Planning (BCP) strategy grounded in a robust data backup and recovery solution.

Unlike enterprises, many smaller companies cannot afford optimal in-house strategies and solutions in service of BCP. These companies are consequently at an elevated risk of being put out of business due to any major loss of data. Loss of data could mean emails lost, accounting data lost, patient or client files lost, company records lost, client legal records or orders lost and so on.

BCP is the blueprint for how businesses plan to survive everything from local equipment failure to global disaster. Data-oriented BCP, an indispensable component of business planning regardless of organization size, poses the following challenges. Smaller businesses generally lack the in-house IT resources to achieve these demanding planning, technical and process requirements. Therefore, many SMBs either neglect to implement any data-oriented business continuity plan or else approach data backup and recovery in a sporadic, rudimentary fashion that fails to conform to the best practices of BCP.
Technical Challenges that Final ASP exceeds:

1. Identify the lowest-cost, highest-performance data backup medium (tape or disk) based solution and keeping abreast with the latest and greatest in the industry.
2. Ensure that all backed-up data is encrypted and otherwise safeguarded from theft.
3. Ensure that backed-up data can be restored to different kinds of hardware.
4. Ensure that data backup continues even during active recovery phases.

Operational Challenges:

1. Identifying what data to back up.
2. Identifying how frequently to back up and related costs and ROI (Return On Investment).
3. Retain the ability to recover not only the most recent data, but also data from older time horizons, such as past quarters and years.
4. Retain the ability to monitor and manage the integrity of ongoing data backup processes so that backup failures can be diagnosed and remedied before adversely impacting the BCP lifecycle.
5. The need to hire Staff who can understand, design, implement and keep a BCP running 24/7 and be available to get business back in action after disaster strikes.

A Complete Solution that addresses all of your BCP Needs

Near Real-Time Backups: Our “Incremental Forever” methodology captures all changes to the initial image in increments of 15 minutes. The Incremental Forever technology not only backs up recent datasets but also allows end users to reconstruct the state of their data as it stood at the end of various 15-minute restoration points.

On-site Virtual Server: If any of your servers fail, our server virtualization technology embedded in the Network Attached Storage (NAS) allows customer servers and applications to be restored and rebooted in less than 30 minutes in most cases. As you may sometimes endure a wait of several days in order to receive replacement servers from vendors, your NAS can have your business up and running. The NAS multitasks so that, even while functioning as a virtual server, it can continue to back up data from other devices plugged into the NAS. Our technology thus allows you to remain in business without any significant loss of data backup, server functionality, or application downtime.

A Complete Image: We generate an image of all hard drive partitions via an agent, which is warehoused on the NAS device physically located at your location. The data is stored using AES-256 bit encryption and compressed. We employ a block-level, not file-level, backup, which means that data is captured at the level of 1’s and 0’s. Block level data is raw data which does not have a file structure imposed on it. Database applications such as Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server transfer data in blocks. Block transfer is the most efficient way to write to disk and is much less prone to errors such as those that result from file-level backups. Additionally, block level backups are not affected by open files or open databases. The block-level image is an exact digital duplicate of the on-site server.

Intuitive and Flexible Restoration: A good backup system should allow for quick and flexible restores. Our solution allows for recovery of files, folders, partitions, mailboxes/messages, databases/tables using a quick and intuitive process. In case of a complete server failure we do support a bare metal restore to new hardware which has a different configuration, hardware and drivers as compared to the failed server. Our 15-minute incremental based backup allows restores to be done from any point in time, allowing for multiple versions of files, folders, messages/mailboxes, database/tables to be restored.

Secure Remote Storage: After imaging the servers to which it is attached, the NAS device then creates an independent 256-bit encrypted tunnel and transmits the imaged data to a secure offsite location where it resides in an encrypted, compressed format. That remote site then replicates again to an alternate data center, creating a total of three copies of the data in three distinct and seperated areas. Since the data is encrypted and only you have the key, no one has access at any of the remote storage facilities. Transmitting data to a remote site is a key component of BCP.

Secure, Bandwidth Throttling Transfer: Transmission itself occurs over your Internet connection, and can easily be configured to minimize bandwidth consumption. Our NAS leverages Adaptive Bandwidth Throttling, which only utilizes unused bandwidth or allows us to set an outbound limit. Our UDP based smart transfer technology utilizes a host of innovative algorithms to speed up data transport and resume from failure. We can therefore exercise fine control over the data imaging and transmission processes.

24x7 Completely Managed Solution: Our Network Operations Center (NOC) monitors your NAS units and the attached servers 24/7. Failed processes generate immediate alerts to our engineers, who often remotely correct errors within minutes of receiving notification. In case of more serious NAS issues, we will conduct repairs at your site. If any NAS units are irreparably damaged or destroyed, at an additional cost we will overnight ship replacements—pre-loaded with all stored data—directly to your location.

Affordable Cost: We offer a pricing packaged that is all inclusive of the complete backup and disaster recovery service-with no hidden costs. All your costs are bundled and include the NAS, the Incremental Forever Methodology, file restorations, file integrity checks, secure data transmission and remote storage.

Exchange Email Hosting

Think about your email host for a second. Is it a POP3 account where when you connect your email is downloaded from the server onto the computer you connected with?
If so the computer you downloaded it to is most likely the only copy of the emails you have. If it crashes would you still have a copy of the email? Most likely not.

This is just the beginning of where Exchange 2007 shines. Your email stays on the server where you can access it from anywhere, anytime, any computer and stays there unless you delete from the server. It also comes with free webmail. If you have access to any ones computer you can check your email. You can also check email from your mobile devices as well in real time.

With our free spam and antivirus filters you will not need to deal with all that spam mail you used to get.

We also backup your email database and it is available for 30 days.

With the free full version of Outlook 2007 you will get from us you can share calendars, contacts and tasks. Invite others to meetings and get reminders of upcoming events.

If you're using a free email system consider this. If it goes down you have nobody that guarantees it will be there if and when it comes back online.

Final ASP guarantees your email will be there when you need it 99.99% of the time.
