Your company's data is critical for all decisions made during the course of a normal business day. Whether it's for short term or long term strategy it will be necessary to ensure that the data you are relying upon is available, has integrity and is authenticated. Anything less could be catastrophic.

With this is mind Lab Data Vault offers Data Reach an all in one disaster recovery solution.

Data Reach makes the safe assumption that data will continue to grow. Data growth can place enormous strains on IT departments and create enormous challenges for companies to overcome.

The first important stage of Data Reach is to analysis a client's data. Data analysis ensures that your data is categorised into groups ranging from ‘critical' to ‘Not required'. This guarantees that any data backed up and / or archived is the appropriate data. Backing up all of your data would clearly be cost inefficient.

The second stage of Data Reach would be to backup your critical data. There are several options available at this point. Clients can choose:

• to have their data backed up to one or two off-site locations
• to back up their data at intervals of their choosing
• to replicate their data so that there is a mirror operation of their business operations providing a seamless disaster recovery solution.

The third stage involves archiving data that has to be kept but which doesn't require daily backing up. In the event of any storage hardware reaching capacity, Lab Data Vault can seamlessly install further capacity into the client's infrastructure.
