Domokur Architects services the North East Ohio region with architectural design solutions.  The company has an onsite tape backup solution in place to protect all their electronic client information.  After carefully considering what documents would be required to continue doing business in the event of an onsite disaster, Domokur Architects identified their drawing and design documents as the most critical.  Also, recognizing the inherent unreliability in tape hardware and media that wears out over time, management wanted a deadly reliable , low cost offsite backup solution for these high priority documents.

Advanced Network Solutions (ANS) offered Domokur Architects an offsite backup and disaster recovery solution, ANS DataSafe, running on a Microsoft Windows Server.  ANS Datasafe efficiently compresses and encrypts only block-level changes before sending data over the Internet to the data vault.  No tape hardware or media to manage means increased reliability.  Using the flexible and easy ANS DataSafe software interface, ANS configured backups for only drawing and design documents, keeping Domokur Architects’ backup costs to a minimum.

Now, Domokur Architects can rest easy knowing they have stepped up their level of protection for critical drawing and design documents using a solid Microsoft Windows technology platform and low-cost ANS DataSafe backup solution.  As Domokur Architects continues to develop their disaster recovery business plan, they will be able to tap into other features of ANS DataSafe like onsite server virtualization and offsite emergency stand-by silos.

"ANS understood our concerns and provided us with an affordable solution."
