Data Protection

Data backup, recovery and archiving are no longer just the concern of the IT department but have become a corporate and commercial issue.

The catastrophic operational and financial impact of losing data have been shown in real-life examples, while corporate compliance with new legislation obliges organisations to align their data protection to much higher standards.

Data protection now means far more than simply backing up data – it means assuring the integrity and security of complex data across remote, central or worldwide locations. Traditional methods of backing up data to distributed tape devices using manual routines are inadequate. Now the concept of having a ‘backup window’ in an IT operation has been rendered almost unrealistic by today’s business requirement for 24 x 7 global infrastructures.

The PRO solution suite offers a complete range of data protection managed services designed to suit organisational needs ranging from enterprise requirements through to mid size and smaller business needs. 

The service range includes cloud connected backup services as well as onsite and offsite solutions; messaging and file archiving services, virtual disaster recovery and business continuity solutions.

Unlike standard off the shelf services, PRO offers customers the ability to be able to create their own data protection service to fit their unique requirements.  This flexibility means that as your business grows, the service grows with you.   

PRO delivers data protection and military grade encryption to all organisations. Efficient data deduplication and compression technology assures secure data protection for the data centre and remote/branch offices.   

The PRO service range offers backup and granular recovery for complex environments such as Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint and Oracle databases as well as virtualised environments scaling to virtually unlimited data volumes.  PRO customers have the choice of using their existing hardware and facilities should these be available to run the PRO service from, to the required SLA.

For organisations that have an extended data retention requirement, PRO provides long term storage and archiving options in secure data centre facilities.  DCG can operate the PRO services from the customer site to replicated secure data centres where virtual disaster recovery environments can be deployed to get data operational quickly.

PRO is very flexible, and should a customer have the requirement to add another site or data set this can be done quickly and easily.

    Many organisations are seeking ways in which they can save costs in the backup environment and yet still attain their disaster recovery aims.

    Organisations often do not have access to a secondary site or a data centre and have to spend on tape collection and storage services in order to ensure their data is off site.  Cloud based services are now seen as a way in which organisations can achieve their disaster recovery plan and save on media costs.  However many businesses have already invested in their backup environment and are looking for ways to maximise this investment.

    Organisations running enterprise applications generate massive quantities of data.

    Traditionally, this data remains in the application database, even long after it is no longer useful to application users transacting current business activity. Eventually every organisation realises that keeping all of this data in the production database is not sustainable.
