Why Plan B DR?
Plan B DR is a UK company that provides a revolutionary, managed disaster recovery and local file backup service.
So, what makes us revolutionary? We are the first company to employ server virtualisation technology for a managed disaster recovery service - removing the need for expensive, dedicated hardware or support.
This means we can offer an extremely high level of recovery – with systems available almost immediately – and at a fraction of the price of ‘traditional’ methods.
So why choose us? Well, here are eight reasons why you should:
- Fast simple recovery - in the event of a disaster, we recover your working ’systems’, not just your data. Plan B DR delivers systems you can use immediately, not just a bag of bits or tools to build new systems from. And what’s, more we can boot up your recovery systems within minutes.
- Complete confidence – uniquely, we test your system’s new rescue images every day to ensure that they will work when you need them. The full recovery service can be simply tested at anytime as part of your wider business continuity plan.
- Simple managed service – the Plan B DR appliance takes about 20 minutes to set up and requires no on-going client support. The service then runs automatically fully managed by Plan B DR. No disruption – there is no need to make any changes to your existing systems just because they are protected.
- Inclusive local file back up – historical file backups are held on the appliance and can be easily accessed through the appliance portal. Best of all, because the snapshots are tested every day you can be confident that the backup is there and will work if you need it. Not many backup systems can boast that!
- Low monthly costs – our disaster recovery service costs a fraction of traditional methods. This is because our intelligent use of virtualisation technology means no dedicated hardware or support costs. For as little as £135 per month you could quickly and easily protect your critical IT systems. Also, our pricing structure is uncomplicated and contains no extra surprises!
- Security - we take security very seriously. All data in transmission is protected by strong encryption and PKI technologies. Our resilient systems run from secure modern data centres in low risk locations that offer at least full N+1 facilities. Our processes and procedures are ITIL and ISO27001/2 compliant and our people are all vetted to BS57858.
- Innovation – we are the first UK company to use server virtualisation technology to offer a fully managed, tested disaster recovery service. This means that we can deliver a high level of recoverability at a much lower price than traditional services.
- 30 day free trial – we are so confident in our service, that we are offering a trial period during which potential customers can assess the benefits absolutely free. More information on our 30 day Free Trial.
Why not Plan B?
There must be some drawbacks - It can’t be all good surely?
Well, there is only one limitation of the Plan B DR system. Because of the nature of the snapshotting process, we usually take one snapshot per day. So if your business needs continuous replication of data then this is not the system for you. You need to be prepared to pay a lot more and look for one of the constant replication systems on the market.
