PRO Grid

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.

PRO Grid  is a cloud based backup and recovery service that ensures that once your data is backed up, it is sent securely offsite, via your existing WAN links, to a secure DCG data centre and held ready for you to access 24 by 7.

PRO Grid is based on the latest version of the market leading backup software – Backup Exec 2010.  If you are a current Backup Exec user PRO Grid will upgrade you to the latest version so you can experience all the features and benefits from day one of the service.  If you do not currently use Backup Exec, PRO Grid will move you onto the platform seamlessly and efficiently.

All PRO Grid customers benefit from 3 months local onsite restore and unlimited long term retention.  PRO Grid provides you with immediate off-site data protection and long term Disaster Recovery, as DCG can deliver a recovery appliance with your data on back to your specified DR location when you need it most.

You no longer have to worry about tape and its associated costs, whether your backups have completed and can be restored or how secure your data is.  PRO Grid ensures that your data is encrypted and accessible 24 by 7 and that you can take advantage of the immediate costs savings that an ISO accredited cloud based service brings.
