GERS Managed Hosted Disaster Recovery

Make disaster recovery part of your 2005 budget.

You can't predict when a disaster—natural or otherwise-—will cause your enterprise network or systems to go down. But you can prepare to minimize the dire consequences to your business.

GERS Retail Systems has partnered with BL Trading to provide you with a Managed Hosted Disaster Recovery Service to minimize the disruption to your daily business activities in the event of a catastrophic system loss.

Our Managed Hosted Disaster Recovery includes three service offerings:

• Active Standby
• Passive Standby
• Tape Verification

Check our data sheet for additional information.

It's an affordable precaution
Active and Passive Standby services offer the option of putting data on a shared or dedicated server. These options are considerably less expensive than purchasing, operating, and supporting your own offsite data storage and management facility.

It's a prudent investment
Not only is planning for offsite disaster recovery a prudent business practice, but auditors of publicly traded firms are increasingly demanding proof of disaster recovery plans to ensure business continuity.

It's a safe alternative
To ensure the integrity of data, BL Trading maintains a secure, full service support center with redundant systems and communications, backup power supplies, and the most up-to-date, flexible, and scalable computer and storage systems. Our experienced, highly trained staff members hold certifications from the industry leaders: Microsoft, Dell, Citrix, Compaq, Novell, and CompTIA.

Using redundant servers, communication circuits, and power supplies that are routinely tested, data integrity is assured. Managed Hosted Disaster Recovery service restores operations in 24 hours or less to ensure business continuity and protect the retailer from disaster-related information losses.

Any of these three options would be more cost-effective for the retailer than purchasing, operating, and supporting their own offsite data storage and management facility.

Make disaster recovery part of your plans for 2006.
