We have fully outsourced our backup and
recovery operations to IT Lifeline for 18 months. We are also in the
process of using them to perform some critical systems redundancy
operations and will also be working with them to provide disaster
recovery suites to critical business operations in the event of a
localized disaster.
We have had several instances of needing
to perform a bare metal restore of an application. The IT-Lifeline
engineers are extremely responsive, professional and knowledgeable. Our
recovery processes have been flawless. In several instances, business
critical applications have been recovered successfully and in a very
acceptable time window. In all instances, the utilization of the IT
Lifeline team and the recovery application were successful. I am very
confident in their services and ability to perform.
The
IT-Lifeline team of engineers are extremely knowledgeable in their
field. They have also selected and deployed hardware and software
platforms that are proven in the industry and ones they know very well.
Backup/Recovery failure rates across all industry can run 15% to 20%. I
can say we experienced that prior to utilizing IT Lifeline. B/R has
become so complex, it requires specialization and focus. That is the
best service they provide for me and I have a 99.999% recovery rate.
