Data Backup

There are two chapters to every data backup story: dependable storage integrity so you know your data is protected and secure on a day-to-day basis, and quick and worry-free access when you need to retrieve that data in the future. DataYard is ready for both.

DataYard’s Ready Backup service uses EMC’s Avamar enterprise class backup solution. Your data is encrypted, backed up, and stored off-site in our own state-of-the-art Data Center.

The EMC Avamar storage system uses seven independent servers in a RAIN (Redundant Array of Independent Nodes) architecture with local RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) block-level data striping. By spreading your data across multiple devices, this structure ensures that a single-point failure, either at the disk or node level, will not result in data loss. Clients can choose to back up files hosted on a server in one of DataYard’s facilities, or to upload critical data at their business to our equipment through a secure Internet connection.

DataYard deploys industry-proven Cisco equipment to protect the Ready infrastructure, which is configured to allow administrative access to the system by only DataYard staff, ensuring your data is always private and secure.

Data retrieval – when you need it – is quick and painless. You can restore data either through your existing Internet connection or by bringing a physical replacement for a failed piece of hardware directly to our Data Center facility. We can accommodate data restoration that ranges from a few files to image-level backups and restores. Where else can you find a data backup partner with this kind of flexibility? At DataYard, we’re ready for anything.
