FORTRUST Data Center, a provider of data center services in Colorado, announced a managed disaster recovery service, AppSafe, to provide “safe, affordable, and flexible solution to ensure the rapid recovery of business-critical applications in the event of an outage or disaster.”

 

AppSafe is built on the latest virtualization technologies allowing business applications and data to be replicated to a virtual environment. With this, an image of a customer’s server is maintained in FORTRUST’s virtual server environment. In the event of an outage, data is activated in the virtual environment and end-users are re-routed to access applications and resume business functions.

 

In effect, AppSafe provides a cost-effective, fully supported disaster recovery strategy with no requirement for capital expenditure, officials said.

 

“With this new service, businesses will have the option to remotely execute a full server recovery or achieve immediate failover using a high-availability solution,” said Rob McClary, vice president of FORTRUST, in a statement. “The key benefit for SMBs is affordable disaster recovery with no previous hardware investment.”

 

AppSafe, along with FORTRUST’s portfolio of backup and storage services, provides an end-to-end disaster recovery solution for customers, officials commented.

 

FORTRUST recently announced  that it will offer Remote Data Backup services powered by Incentra to both current customers and companies that are not colocated in the data center. The service will allow companies operating in multiple locations to back up their data to one secure location.

 

Remote Data Backup automatically and securely backs up the customer’s file system, raw partition, database and MS Exchange mailbox, and message-level data to an enterprise-class, disk-based data protection system located in FORTRUST’S secure SAS (News - Alert) 70 Type II data center.

 

When the customer needs to restore their data, it can be accessed via a dedicated operational support systems management portal, allowing the data to be restored to any server at any time.
