For the Small Business

When it comes to business continuity your biggest concern as a business owner is not necessarily a fire, tornado, flood or other disaster. The real concern for your business is the loss of critical data or server crash that takes your company offline for hours or days or, if you can’t get your data back, for life. The problem is that most small business owners’ business continuity plans rely quite a bit on prayer and good luck as true business continuity plans and products are still very expensive, until now.

The Zenith ARCA offers complete turnkey business continuity protection for the SMB at very affordable prices. In the event you lose one of your servers, the ARCA can run a failover server that will take over the functions of your downed server within minutes, keeping your organization running and connected with data up to your last backup. Furthermore, the ARCA will take snapshots of your servers every 15 minutes keeping data loss at a minimum while allowing you to simply and easily restore files and emails in minutes. Try that with your tape solution. ARCA can easily replace your backup infrastructure while providing you a business continuity plan, not just a backup plan.

So, what happens in a real disaster? The Zenith ARCA supports ARCA-to-ARCA replication, placing one at your office and another at a separate office or data center. In the event your office is destroyed all your data and servers have been replicated to the offsite ARCA all along. The great part is, yes your data is safe, but you can use the ARCA’s failover server features to bring your servers up offsite and keep your organization running.

The Zenith ARCA has many other useful features and is an excellent choice to replace your tape backup solution.

For Mid-Sized and Enterprise Businesses

Many companies of your size have fairly robust backup and business continuity plans especially when it comes to the home office. Even though they have spent considerable time and money, many find they still struggle with routine file and email restorations, quickly recovering a failed server, and testing backups to prove the business continuity plan works to auditors and company executives. As far as remote locations, many are simply not well integrated into the overall business continuity plan.

The Zenith ARCA is the perfect addition to your existing backup solution and has been designed with the above challenges in mind. First, the Zenith ARCA’s failover server feature permits you to quickly virtualize a downed Exchange server, bringing your organization online quickly and effectively. The ARCA comes with Ontrack Power Tools allowing you to simply and effortlessly restore single emails, attachments from emails or full mailboxes in minutes.

How easily can you prove your business continuity and backup plans work to a visiting auditor or to the rest of the organization? With the Zenith ARCA you can login to the appliance, perform server virtualizations and prove your plans work in under an hour.

You can even use ARCA-to-ARCA replication or the soon to be released ARCA Vault to backup your remote locations to your home office or a data center of your choice. Best of all, using the remote ARCA or ARCA Vault, virtualize the servers and bring up a downed location quickly in minutes not hours or days.

Additional features include bare metal restorations to dissimilar hardware, a sandbox environment to test patches, software upgrades and configuration changes before applying them to the production environment, and the ability to run end month/quarter/yearly reporting without touching the actual production server.
