HostingCon 2006: Disaster Recovery & Offsite Backups

July 18, 2006 by Cotton Rohrscheib Leave a Comment

Today, we got a headstart on HostingCon by registering for our meetings early. Since the vendors booths didn’t open up until 3 or 4 in the afternoon we spent the morning in sessions w/ speakers from different companies in the hosting industry. It was very informative and we learned a lot about what the market is doing and where it is headed.

The first session we attended dealt with Business Continuity with an emphasis on Disaster Recovery. The speaker was the vice-president of ViaVerio, one of the worlds largest hosting providers. He touched on various things that could bring on disaster such as the blackouts in California a few years ago and also the events of 9/11. I think that the industry as a whole is shifting toward offering more offsite backup solutions for their clients, and PLETH is no different but instead of just offering space for storage in an offsite datacenter for sensitive data, we want to take it a step further, and maybe not appeal so much to the large fortune 500 clients that are out there but instead continue to offer our around the clock, world class support oriented service to the medium to small business sectors as well as the entrepreneurial community that might not have the luxury of having a fully staffed IT department but still realizes the need for offsite data backup of critical files and applications such as Quickbooks, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Money, etc. PLETH also realizes that for this solution to be totally effective it needs to be one that is totally effortless. By effortless, we mean that it needs to be one that is purchased by the client, software is downloaded and installed on their pc’s or servers, and a complete offsite backup routine is configured by asking a set of simple questions. From this point the software would run in the background by using simple FTP or SFTP protocol on an incremental basis. We also have discussed the fact that restoring data files should also be a painless process for our clients, or it is no good…

PLETH is currently in talks with a software firm developing a solution for offsite backups and disaster recovery automation software. Please check back to this blog really soon for updated information regarding this new startup from the same partners that brought you PLETH Networks, LLC.
