Backups, Maintenance & Disaster Recovery

IT contingency planning might be likened to a form of insurance -- hopefully you will never need it...but you are certainly glad you have it when you do.  

GAIT Services will help you devise a plan (within your resources and budget) to maximize your preparedness in case of an emergency.  We can specify, provide, setup and install storage management solutions to insure quick recovery in the event of a data disaster.  

We also provide monthly-fee subscription based support of existing platforms, servers and other equipment to minimize your down-time and exposure in the event of individual equipment failures.   

• Data Disaster Recovery Planning: Trust GAIT to recommend, install,  implement and support a reliable rotating / archival backup solution for your business.

• Maintenance & Support: Minimize your down time for critical components.  GAIT Services provides proactive maintenance plans for servers, workstations and other computer equipment.

The True Costs of Down Time...

Many businesses fail to realize the sunk costs when a critical IT function is off-line due to failure -- take the sum of each hour of down time multiplied by the hourly pay rate of each employee who relies on that function -- and the costs are typically nothing short of staggering.

Thus, GAIT's maintenance plans are proactive; we don't wait for a failure -- instead, we perform preparatory steps such as taking an inventory of components (to insure access to replacements) and creating disk-images of servers and workstations among other things.  GAIT will also provide honest, best-practices recommendations for infrastructure enhancements or upgrades (within your budget) which will increase fault-tolerance and reliability.  Such proactive steps insure quick recovery in the event of failures!
